TESCO has confirmed it has axed one of its popular boozy drinks from the shelves and shoppers are “gutted”.
The supermarket has discontinued its Finest salted caramel cream liqueur.
One disgruntled fan posted on X (formerly Twitter) asking the retailer why it had discontinued the product.
He said: “Tesco, why would you discontinue your finest salted caramel liqueur? This really upsets me.”
To which the retailer responded: “Good morning, thanks for getting in touch – this has been discontinued due to a range change.”
The liqueur was popular with customers making salted caramel martinis at Christmas.
One person said at the time: “These are amazing!”
Another added: “Will be going on my Christmas shopping list!”
A third said: “I look forward to trying this.”

So perhaps all is not lost for fans of the liqueur as it might come around again later in the year.
Tesco regularly updates its range of products to meet the needs of its customers.
Other products including Tesco prawn snacks, Coleman’s packet mixes and roast potato seasoning have also been discontinued.
Supermarkets often switch up their product offering depending on the time of year or seasonal celebrations.
If you keep an eye out around Christmas and Easter time, you can often pick up a good cut-price bargain.
Retailers are known for offering big discounts on old stock they are looking to get rid of and this can include seasonal biscuits, gifts and even Easter eggs.
We also spoke to shopping expert Sarah-Jane Outten on how to take advantage of the yellow sticker bonanza that can often happen around bank holidays.
Supermarkets are not the only ones who like to change things up, fast food restaurants also like to keep customers guessing by shaking up their menu.
McDonalds has just launched its new menu for Spring and along with some new items, some old favourites are also making a return.
Among the new items in the range is the brand new Lotus Biscoff Frappe which has already proven to be a big hit with fans.
The popular snack will also be featured in the form of a McFlurry, which made its debut last year.
This does mean that along with Tesco customers, some McDonalds fans might be in for some disappointment as some of their favourites have been axed.
To make way for the new items a number of favourites including halloumi fries and the Cadbury creme egg McFlurry have been discontinued from the range.
Meanwhile, we can reveal eight nostalgic foods that have disappeared from supermarket shelves over the years.
There is everything from Campbell’s soup to Caramac and while we won’t know for sure if these loved snacks will ever come back – it is worth keeping an eye out.
Also, if you are feeling sad that your favourite snack is no more, don’t worry as it is not all bad news.
Brands including Walkers and Nestle are putting new flavours on shelves for shoppers to try.
Some brands are even getting experimental and pushing boundaries with new flavours.
This could be a wacky new chocolate bar or a new flavour of crisps based on items we already know and love.
Just recently, Heinz launched a pickle-flavoured ketchup, which some people described as “fundamentally wrong”.
Pringles has released ketchup flavour crisps that shoppers have been desperate to get their hands on.
Plus, Cadbury has brought out a range of new items, including “heavenly” milkshakes inspired by iconic chocolate bars.
We have pulled together a list of favourites that have recently hit the shelves and hopefully, you’ll spot something new to try.
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
