LIQUEUR lovers are in shock after Bacardi revealed that it is stopping production of its popular Patrón XO Cafe tipple.

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 costs around £30 but they may soon be disappearing from supermarket shelves.
Vergara told trade title The Grocer that the business wants to focus on “growing and protecting production and supply of our core super and ultra-premium tequilas.”
The news hasn’t gone down well on Twitter, with users describing it as “the worst day of my life” and others joking about stocking up on the coffee tequila instead of petrol.
One user said: “Just found out that Cafe Patron is being discontinued, what a truly terrible Friday this just turned into.”
Another said: “First the fuel crisis, now they’re discontinuing Cafe Patron, while one user joked: “I quit drinking for six weeks and this happens? How much Cafe Patron was I drinking?”
