Trader Vic's Kona Coffee Liqueur

Pages: 1 5 replies

I saw mention that it might not be produced any more. Haven't tried it, but my local liquor store has at least 6 bottles on the shelf. Is it good stuff? Worth picking up? Any great drink recipes for it?

Jeff, are you talking about the Trader Vic’s Kona?

I think it was discontinued several years ago. Trader Joe doe’s sell small lots of “discontinued merchandise. My wife and I luv TV’s Kona Mo betta den Kahlua in Mexican Coffee.
I’d like to get my hands on a half dozen bottles. Which store had em if you don’t mind saying?

Btw, the Whittier store did not have any.

That's the stuff. My local store happens to be here in Michigan, so it might be a bit of a drive for you! :)

It's at the Brass Mug in Livonia. Really nice place.

I was also told that Trader Vic's Kona Coffee Liqueur was discontinued. I contacted Phillips Distilling who make all the Trader Vic's Liqueurs and was told that the Kona Coffee Liqueur is not discontinued and still being made. They even found a retailer in my area (southwest Chicago suburbs) that carries the Trader Vic Liqueurs.
