TikTok account @newfoundfood uploaded a clip of the bottle in their local supermarket and showed how it costs £7.
Despite making the most of the popular flavour, they did not seem impressed with the drink version.
They wrote: 'wtf have Morrisons done?'
The tipple combines the classic chocolate and nutty pistachio flavouring to deliver a deliciously sweet digestif cream liqueur.
Many people were quick to agree with being baffled at the drink.
One said: 'Why does EVERYTHING have to be Dubai chocolate.'
Another added: 'Nope.'
However, some people did seem impressed with the liquor, with one writing: 'tbf it is banging.'
Donovan's Dubai Chocolate Style Country Cream Liqueur is available in Morrisons stores nationwide and online.
It comes after Lidl was forced to place a shopping limit on its Dubai Chocolate-inspired exotic treat.
Shoppers in frenzy over cheapest Dubai chocolate arrival in major Irish store at just €1.79
The Della Sante Dubai Style Chocolate Cream spread combines the flavours of the insanely popular chocolate but in spreadable form.
That means you can slather it on toast, pile it onto pancakes, dip fruit in it or even spoon it from the jar.
The sweet and salty pots cost £4.99 or £3.99 for Lidl Plus members, which is far more expensive than the store's other chocolate spreads.
However, the price tag is not deterring customers, and the shop was forced to implement a strict three-jar-only policy.
The Sun recently spotted a queue outside the Gosport, Hampshire, store at 8am with shoppers eagerly waiting for the doors to open.

Chocolate fans have been going crazy for supermarket dupes of the expensive Dubai chocolate bars and they've been going viral on social media.
Lidl's version was the cheapest when it was brought out at £3.99.
Before it arrived in stores, the chocolate bar had been available on Lidl's TikTok Shop.
It wasn't around for long though as it sold out in a mere 84 minutes.
Numerous supermarkets and bargain stores have been jumping on the Dubai-style chocolate trend.
One of the most-anticipated was the M&S version, which it turned out was a new take on the viral Big Daddy chocolate bar.
The Big Daddy Pistachio is on the pricier end, costing £8.50 for a big 280g bar.
Similarly posh supermarket Waitrose also released a version for £10.
How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs...
Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars.
Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.

Focus on Gregg Wallace, Glastonbury and Gaza as BBC releases annual report
The BBC is to face questions on Gregg Wallace, its Glastonbury Festival coverage and the Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone documentary as it prepares to release its 2024/2025 annual report. The corporation will highlight its successes over the past year and disclose the pay of its top talent, but focus is likely to be on a storm of stories about the BBC's shows and coverage of live events. It comes after Ofcom announced it would investigate the BBC's Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone documentary after a review found it had breached the corporation's editorial guidelines on accuracy. The regulator said it had examined the BBC report and would be investigating under its broadcasting code, which states factual programmes 'must not materially mislead the audience'. The programme was removed from BBC iPlayer in February after it emerged that the child narrator, Abdullah, is the son of Ayman Alyazouri, who has worked as Hamas's deputy minister of agriculture. An Ofcom spokesperson said: 'Having examined the BBC's findings, we are launching an investigation under our rule which states that factual programmes must not materially mislead the audience.' The review, conducted by Peter Johnston, the director of editorial complaints and reviews, which is independent of BBC News, said the programme was in breach of accuracy for 'failing to disclose information about the child narrator's father's position within the Hamas-run government'. But the review found no other breaches of editorial guidelines, including breaches of impartiality, and also found no evidence that outside interests 'inappropriately impacted on the programme'. The BBC will also face scrutiny after a total of 45 out of the 83 allegations of misconduct made against former MasterChef presenter Wallace during his time on the show were substantiated, including one allegation of 'unwelcome physical contact', in a report following an investigation into his behaviour. On Monday, Wallace's MasterChef co-host John Torode confirmed he had a standalone allegation of racist language upheld in the same report. He said had 'no recollection of the incident' and was 'shocked and saddened' by the allegation in an Instagram post. In November 2024 the show's production company, Banijay UK, announced Wallace would step away from his role on the BBC cooking show while historical allegations of misconduct were investigated. The report concluded that the 'majority of the substantiated allegations against Mr Wallace related to inappropriate sexual language and humour', adding that 'a smaller number of allegations of other inappropriate language and being in a state of undress were also substantiated'. Also expected to be on the agenda is coverage of Glastonbury, which saw the broadcaster livestream a set by punk duo Bob Vylan, during which singer Bobby Vylan, whose real name is reportedly Pascal Robinson-Foster, led crowds in chants of 'death, death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)'. Director-general Tim Davie confirmed on Monday that staff at the festival had the authority to cut the stream Avon and Somerset Police have since launched an investigation into the group's set with the BBC issuing an apology for the live stream, and promising to no longer broadcast live acts they deem 'high risk' as they had with Bob Vylan in a pre-festival assessment. The Ipswich-formed duo, who are completed by drummer Bobbie Vylan, are also being investigated by the Met Police for alleged comments in a video of their performance supporting Iggy Pop at Alexandra Palace in May. In the video, Vylan appears to say: 'Death to every single IDF soldier out there as an agent of terror for Israel. Death to the IDF.' According to reports in The Times, the BBC's director of music Lorna Clarke was among a group of senior staff who have stepped back from their day-to-day roles after the broadcaster's decision to show Bob Vylan's set live. The salary of former Match Of The Day host Gary Lineker is expected to be included in the report, after he left his presenting role early following a social media row after he shared a post about Zionism which featured a depiction of a rat, historically an antisemitic insult. Lineker, who issued an unreserved apology, was the BBC's highest-paid presenter until his departure, with the annual report for 2023/24 showing his salary to be to around £1.35 million a year. The presenter will no longer front the BBC's coverage of the 2026 World Cup or the FA Cup next season, with his final appearance on Match Of The Day at the end of the last Premier League season. It comes as it was announced that Mr Davie and BBC chairman Samir Shah will face questions from MPs over the documentary, Wallace, and its Glastonbury coverage. The two will appear before the Culture, Media and Sport Committee on September 9.

Where luxury meets ASMR: London Scribes
Over 30 years ago, London Scribes was established, bringing its own vision to the traditional art form of italic calligraphy. In the years since, its handwritten lettering, illustration and print services have been used for events at institutions ranging from Claridge's to Tate Modern. The company was even awarded a royal warrant for calligraphy in 2009. In that same year Jenny Collier joined the business, where she was mentored by Craig Poland-Smith and apprenticed for 3-4 years before she began writing for clients. By 2022 she became the grantee and director of the royal warrant. Watch Collier craft an invitation and listen to the spine-tinglingly soothing sound of a dip pen with a Brause Bandzug nib and Montblanc Mystery Black ink, writing on a 400gsm wove notecard from Mount Street Printers. You'll see quickly why it's one of the most popular forms of ASMR on social media.

You'll never guess what I really like about going on holiday
Mid-July, and we are in the middle of Peak Holiday Season — the six weeks in which everyone at some point will either ask or be asked, 'Do we have any of those aqua-shoe thingies? You know — for rock pools? Look like verruca shame slippers? Smell, inexplicably, like old turnips?' Obviously, no one needs to be reminded of the classic aspects of Holiday Season: no work! Having a lie-in! Consuming up to five pub lunches! And, of course, the big family argument — which always happens on the Tuesday. However, as you age, you start getting into the smaller, more niche aspects of holidaying. Because, by and large, all beach days, pleasant walks and visits to National Trust tearooms are the same. But the Secondary Holidaying Aspects? Well. They're for the Holiday Connoisseur alone. For instance: other people's Netflix habits. If you're hiring a cottage or Airbnb, there's a 50-50 chance the previous occupants forget to log out of their streaming account before leaving. Which allows you, as an ever curious observer of human behaviour, to work as an Algorithm Archaeologist — guessing who was here before you and how their holiday went. The most recurrent is kids' stuff: when you see that Frozen and Frozen 2 have both been watched back to back, you know that the last week saw unceasing, brutal rain. You know it contained multiple attempts to engage an obstreperous four-year-old with the cottage's Buckaroo — which has half the pieces missing — before some exasperated parent sighed, 'OK! I give in! Let's spend our summer holiday watching a sassy snowman! Fine!' Other times, it's more… unexpected. In one villa in Corfu, I discovered the previous occupants were obsessed with Japanese YouTubers. The kind who film, with serene minimalism, their daily routines: sweeping their floors with rustic brooms or slowly preparing enoki mushrooms. Here I sensed a neurodivergent teenager, on holiday under duress, firmly eschewing the horror of a boating day trip — probably to a rock covered in gannets, which are both raucous and unloveable — in favour of sitting at home with a Ribena, watching someone craft miso from scratch. And fair enough. I will skim over the Penrith cottage where Amazon Prime revealed a week containing every single movie made by Guy Ritchie — as it's embarrassing that 'men in their early thirties on a stag weekend' should be so predictable. Then there are the joys of the new area you have travelled to. Simpler people get excited about the mountains, moors or valleys. The more practised holidaymaker, on the other hand, is excited by a far more potent local joy: a small local supermarket. Our own local supermarkets are as familiar to us as our hands, or dogs. Which is why being in someone else's local supermarket feels so… transgressive. Almost like, after 30 years of marriage, sleeping with a new partner. The baskets are a different colour! They sell a vodka called 'Garry'! The washing-up liquid comes out of a mad giant dispenser! The first aisle doesn't have fruit and veg but something weird, like 'magazines and giant lollipops', or 'sunhats and charcoal briquettes'. In smaller, more isolated supermarkets, hardcore grocery nerds can get off on an aspect common to all small supermarkets: the laissez-faire attitude to the true sell-by date of grapes. Those guys are often pushing the envelope so hard, what they're selling is, technically, not 'grapes' but 'a bunch of sultanas'. To eat a deflating brown grape is to taste the true terroir of Bodmin. Finally: The Big Wash. I'm not sure where feminism stands on The Big Wash — it's been slightly distracted by both the trans issue and Sabrina Carpenter. But, without exception, every woman I know over the age of 40 confesses that one of their favourite moments of a holiday is getting home, kicking all the accumulated post out of the way, and putting all the holiday clothes onto a mixed load. 'There's something so satisfying about it!' 'It's like rolling the credits on your holiday: like, 'You having been watching… these shorts! And that T-shirt!' 'If the day's good enough to peg it out afterwards, I consider it the final holiday treat.' Is it unfeminist for a woman to consider laundry 'a final holiday treat'? I don't know any teenagers, or men, who are gagging to chuck a Surf 3-in-1 pod into a load of knickers on 30 degrees. All the not-women seem to spend their first hours home 'catching up on important emails' or ringing the cottage firm to see if the cleaners have found their iPhone charger. It's just the ladies who are ecstatically spot-treating a Piz Buin stain on a pair of pleated culottes. And yet, we are happy. Happy with our niche holiday joys.
