If the classic Espresso Martini feels a little..predictable, try experimenting by swapping vodka for tequila

Using Sierra Tequila Reposado or Pantalones Reposado, the cocktail gains warmth, depth, and natural agave sweetness that complements the espresso, creating a richer, more indulgent drink while respecting the martini’s classic structure. 

Sierra Tequila’s Reposado Espresso Martini
An award-winning tequila matured in oak barrels for at least two months, noted for its mild yet distinctive flavour and warm golden colour.

Tasting Notes:
Fresh and woody at once, with hints of vanilla, caramel, and herbs. The palate opens to green agave and a subtle fruitiness.

Founded in 2023 by Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves, Pantalones Tequila is a premium, 100% organic blue weber agave spirit.

Complete with notes of cooked agave, vanilla, and a hospitable hint of oak.  Its name, meaning “trousers” in Spanish and slang for “guts,” reflects the brand’s spirit of confidence and conviviality.
His classic phrase “Alright Alright Alright” is the name of this cocktail – your tequila based espresso martini.
