We cannot believe our eyes, but Patrón XO Cafe has landed back on Australian liquor retailers’ websites. While it’s been no surprise that the king of coffee liquor has been obtainable since it was discontinued in October 2021 (article below), the online price has been exorbitant at $120+ AUD for a bottle, so the news of it hitting shelves for close to half that amount (from $76 AUD, link below) is reason enough to get excited.

Often regarded as the be all end all coffee liquor to use in Espresso Martinis, Patrón XO Cafe offers a dry taste as opposed to those sweet sticky notes you get in traditional coffee liquors. It’s also boozier, packing 19.3 standard drinks into a bottle at 35% ABV (typical liquors are just 20% ABV). The reception to the product being discontinued was strong, with users voicing their opinions online, one user on the Dan Murphy website writes “Our favourite coffee liquor of all. I can’t understand why the production of XO Cafe is being stopped as there is a huge demand for it globally.”
Another user writes, “This XO coffee tequila is an awesome drink, especially for those that like coffee, it doesn’t taste anything like tequila, and more like your drinking coffee shots mixed with some kind of spirit. Definitely, it’s a good start for a night out.”
The good news is Liquorland, and a number of other retailers such as Vintage Cellars have heard our requests and dug through the stockpiles to revive Cafe Patrón XO one last time, offering the liquor from $76 AUD via the links below. User limits are capped at around 2 bottles per person and with more than 80 bottles being sold at the time of writing, we recommend jumping on this discontinued tipple quickly.
