Luckin Coffee and Kweichow Moutai have come together to introduce a new 'Moutai Latte,' formulated with caffeine and liquor to appeal to consumers who enjoy both flavors fused. The product recently made its official debut earlier this month and has swiftly become a sensation in the Chinese market.
“The starting point of the strategic cooperation between the two companies is to provide consumers with products and services of higher quality and a better experience. This will be the first sip of an alcoholic latte for a lot of young Chinese people," said Jinyi Guo, chairman and CEO of Luckin Coffee.
The 'Moutai Latte' features a delightful combination of coffee with a creamy topping, and it contains less than 0.5% alcohol content. The product is expected to appeal to Millenials in China who have embraced coffee as an integral part of their daily routines.
