Well.... if they are going to stop making it, a solution needs to be found.

It's a delicious drink, especially when served on lots of crushed ice.

I guess its not too surprising, tequila is on such a hot trend right now they're running out of agave plants since they take so long to mature. Guess there's more profit in sticking it in oak barrels for a few months and selling it as anejo...

Just put some coffee beans in your bottle of tequila. You will have to do it by trial and error forthe right concentration.

Would that work? I have no idea but it sounds like it would take forever.

I ordered an espresso martini from a place in Liverpool their take on it was they substituted the Kahlua with this stuff.

It was awful.

I have done rhubarb vodka in a couple of months.
Coffee beans will be at least the same.

Kahlua do have a recipe involving tequila, but it's with their chili chocolate drink. It is amazing.

Found 2 bottles in my local Tesco so there must be some floating around at the moment.

I've just bought 2 from Tesco as well.

None on the shelves but it showed available for click and collect so I asked the customer services desk and they went and looked in the back. I got the last 2 bottles they had.

Try Cazcabel coffee tequila as an alternative.
