818 Tequila, Kendall Jenner’s premium tequila brand, and Chamberlain Coffee, Emma Chamberlain’s coffee lifestyle brand, have teamed up to settle the espresso martini debate, once and for all: tequila really is the best spirit for this popular cocktail. To create the best version of this cocktail, 818 Tequila and Chamberlain Coffee created limited-edition Candied Pecan cold brew singles — with notes of maple and candied pecan — inspired by the flavors of 818 Tequila Reposado. They are also debuting a limited-edition 818 espresso martini bundle on Chamberlain Coffee’s website.
Now, cocktail lovers don’t need an espresso maker: they can simply mix the maple pecan cold brew with the tequila. Consumers will also get the chance to experience the festive cocktail for themselves at select restaurants in New York and Los Angeles.
Fans can purchase the Espresso Martini Kit Bundle (US$72) which features the cold brew singles, a cocktail shaker, and a martini glass on Chamberlain Coffee’s website. Consumers can also purchase bundle items individually, including the Chamberlain Coffee and 818 Candied Pecan cold brew singles ($16), cobranded cocktail shakers ($28), martini glasses ($25), and limited-edition baby tees ($55). The Candied Pecan cold brew singles and 818 Tequila Reposado are also available for purchase on Gopuff in participating US cities.
The 818 Tequila x Chamberlain Coffee Espresso Martini will be featured on menus across select restaurants in New York and Los Angeles including LAVO Los Angeles, Belles Beach House, Elephante, Little Ruby’s, Dudley’s, Happiest Hour and more, from 24-28 April.
“Working with Kendall and 818 on this was such a blast. The whole thing came together naturally because we adore each other and adore espresso martinis with tequila. We played around and ended up creating a unique take on an espresso martini that we know people will love. The Chamberlain Coffee Candied Pecan Cold Brew Singles with the 818 Tequila Reposado flavors is nutty and sweet and perfect. I am so excited for people to try it,” said Chamberlain Coffee founder, creative director and investor Emma Chamberlain.
“I’m so happy that 818 is collaborating with Chamberlain, Emma and I have been wanting our brands to do something fun together,” said Kendall Jenner, Founder of 818 Tequila. “We’re not only creating something delicious together — we’re settling the debate, once and for all, that espresso martinis taste best when they’re made with tequila.”
