My current go-to shot beverage of choice.

Unfortunately my suit trousers didn't get a choice in the matter and imbibed a copious dose a few weeks ago.
The pants are dark navy so I didn't notice for a good few days. I now have a large, crusty black stain which hasn't budged after two dry cleaning sessions.

The trousers are part of an expensive suit so I'd rather not have to throw it in the bin!

Any ideas chaps?

Soak them?

As for the patron - good choice. I created* the Loco Guinness a few years ago - shot glass 3/4 fill of CP, then float baileys over the top. Looks like a mini Guinness, tastes wonderful.

* never seen it before or after. This was about five years ago?

I've not heard of Patron Cafe to be honest but I do love a Baby Guiness. I used to drink these with the other half when staying at her city pad before a night out (and long before our baby was born!). The Vineyard in Newcastle sells them too.

... might have to make one this weekend.

I know all these words but somehow when they're put together in this order I have no idea what it means.

I never ask my trousers opinion or seek to gain their agreement on anything? Did I miss a meeting, should I be talking to my trousers?

Ok... So you've been walking around with a big black stain on your pants (we call them pants up north) for 2 days - Are you a teacher?

Buy some new trousers? Ask on mumsnet?

Drink until you don't care about the stain?

Can't the dry cleaners help? With advice I mean?

Bio washing powder?
Vanish?
Baking powder?
Yeast?

More patron cafe over the rest of the suit?

Think I've just bust the question mark key on this keyboard.

I have to say we were doing mini-guinness 20+ years ago and we were far from the originators, but XO Cafe is bloody lovely and I never thought I'd say that about something Tequila based.

Silly me thinking I would get a helpful response in the Lounge!

Let me ask 3 specific questions then, to avoid people going off piste:
- what type of cleaning agent would be effective against coffee tequila stains
- would the above be appropriate for Super 120 wool trousers, and not damage them
- how would you apply such cleaning agent

Fire. Or explosives, maybe?

Ah. Forget the above idea then.

Maybe treat the stain as you would red and white wine, splash some tea on it?
