Now that the heatwave has finally arrived, many of us will no doubt be spending time in the garden, sipping on our favourite tipples this weekend.
If you were a fan of Patrón XO Cafe, you're in luck. Budget supermarket Aldi has announced the exciting launch of its similar alternative - El Toro Coffee Liqueur Tequila.
The all new El Toro Coffee Liqueur Tequila will retail for an impressive £15.99 and will be available online and in stores from August 21.
Following the discontinuation of Patrón XO Cafe last year which led to outrage and hundreds signing an opposition petition, this launch comes at a great time.
While no longer in production, bottles of Patrón XO Cafe are still available to buy online, but come with a hefty price tag of £100.
At only £15.99, the latest addition from Aldi works out 84% cheaper, so savvy shoppers will no doubt be rushing to stock up on the new liqueur.
Aldi's latest addition comes as another notch to the brand's award winning spirits lineup, boasting a delicious blend of coffee liqueur and tequila, with aromas of chocolate and vanilla for a smooth yet dry finish.
To create the perfect cocktail, pour the El Toro Coffee Liqueur Tequila over ice into a small, chilled tumbler and top with Irish Cream.
Alternatively, give the much-loved Espresso Martini a tequila twist:
