The classic espresso martini is known for its smooth, balanced kick, but swapping vodka for tequila adds a surprising depth and edge that completely reinvents the experience—and Queen’s Brew by Casa Malka does just that.
"With Queen’s Brew, we wanted to create more than just another canned cocktail," said Malka Roth, founder of Casa Malka Tequila, “By pairing our reposado Tequila with Wandering Bear’s iconic cold brew, we’ve crafted something that feels indulgent but still fits today’s lifestyle—light, creamy, and truly unforgettable.”
Queen's Brew matches Casa Malka’s reposado Tequila with Wandering Bear Cold Brew for a deliciously complex experience with layered notes of vanilla, oak and caramel. Uniquely, it stands out as one of the few ready-to-drink espresso martinis on the market made with tequila and oat milk, making it a creamy, dairy-free option.
