The revival comes after Bacardi's decision to discontinue the drink in 2020

Coffee liqueur enthusiasts have reason to celebrate as Patrón XO Cafe makes its triumphant return to the UK after a three-year absence.

The popular tipple, discontinued in 2020, is now available at The Alchemist bars across the country, and fans are thrilled.


Coffee liqueur aficionados can savour the drink at 24 branches of the bar chain in cities including London, Birmingham and Leeds.

The liqueur can be enjoyed as a single shot or savoured as part of the Patrón Solar Board, featuring six shots paired with salted caramel caviar.

The Alchemist proudly shared the news on its website: "The BIGGEST come back yet, have you heard? Patrón XO Cafe is back!

"You can order our Patrón Solar Board and kick start your night out in style.
6 shots paired with our salted caramel caviar."

The board is priced at £38 outside of London and £44 at the capital's bars.

But for those unable to visit The Alchemist, there's more good news on the horizon as Patrón XO Cafe is set to return to supermarket shelves next year, The Grocer reported.

Fans have already caught wind of the tipple's return, sparking excitement across social media.

One Instagram user exclaimed: "FINALLY!! Best news ever!"

Another commented: "Its been a long time coming!"

Another fan wrote: "The best!"

The comeback follows a period of disappointment for enthusiasts, who even launched a Change.org petition urging Bacardi to reverse its decision to discontinue the drink.

At the time, Bacardi's chief operating officer stated the company was focusing on "core super and ultra-premium tequilas".

It comes as Aldi announced it is set to launch a new Infusionist Coffee Liqueur, offering shoppers a luxurious tipple at a bargain price.

The 70cl bottle will retail for just £7.99 and will be sold in stores from November 10

The retailer's offering is bound to be a hit with coffee lovers and cocktail enthusiasts who love a rich, coffee-flavoured treat.
