When The Grocer broke the news last week that Bacardí would be ceasing production of its Patrón XO Cafe across the globe, it’s fair to say consumers weren’t pleased. While some fans started a petition to save the coffee-infused tequila – which is a cult favourite shot in the pubs and bars of Britain – others took to social media to vent their feelings. Here are some of the reactions from Twitter users
Many were devastated:
