Trader Vic's Kona Coffee Liqueur

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?

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.
