SHOPPERS can make a big saving on a new Aldi dupe – and it could replace a favorite tipple that recently disappeared from shelves.
The discounter is selling a coffee liqueur tequila for a bargain price.

Last year Patrón XO Cafe was discontinued leaving fans of the coffee infused tequila bereft.
Bacardi, the company which made the beverage, said it was ditching the drink to focus on its “core super and ultra-premium tequilas”.
The drink blends Patrón tequila and Arabica coffee. It is popular over ice, chilled in a shot or mixed into a cocktail.
A 70cl bottle cost around £30 but prices have shot up as bottles become harder to find, and you’ll no longer find it on supermarket shelves.
For example the drink is for sale on Amazon with an eye-watering price of £97.99 – nearly three times the price.
Now Aldi‘s dupe of the drink could fill the coffee tequila shaped hole – and save you some cash.
The 70cl bottle of El Toro Coffee Liqueur Tequila will set you back just £15.99.
That’s half the price of the original retail cost of coffee Patron more than 80% off the current higher price tag.
