8 Aug 2026 · ALDI’s $3.75 Hard Solo knock off review
9.5
Absolute bargain; more lemony than Hard Rated, just a bit late to the hard lemon trend
Bought at Aldi
Aldi's spirit-based hard lemon at $15 a four pack (vs $20-25 for Hard Rated), 4.5% with 7% lemon juice. Russ says it's more like a hard Pub Squash or Lift, more lemon juice and slightly more carbonated than the original, and rates it 9.5/10 considering the price, though he wishes it came out earlier.
