Cantera Negra Tequila Launches New Café Cocktails for Holidays

Tequila and coffee lovers rejoice! Cantera Negra Tequila just released new coffee cocktails and twists on espresso martinis combining their additive-free tequilas, Cantera Negra Silver and Reposado, and premium coffee liquor, Cantera Negra Café, just in time for fall, winter and holiday festivities.

Check out four brand new coffee cocktails with something for everyone: Café Agave Old Fashioned, which combines two classics and arguably the most popular cocktails right now - the espresso martini and the Old Fashioned - as well as the sure-to-be-classic Cantera Coffee, tropical Café Helado, and Gingerbread Café, perfect for holiday. 

Cantera Negra is additive-free and celebrity-free ultra-premium tequila made from 100% fully mature blue weber agave, sourced from rich volcanic soil. Their lineup of additive-free tequilas include Silver, Reposado, Añejo and Extra Añejo, and they also have Café, premium coffee liqueur known for its distinctive character and refined taste! Their portfolio is perfect for cocktails and sipping as we move into the colder months, especially our Extra Añejo that won Double Gold at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and Best Extra Añejo at The Tasting Alliance’s Top Shelf Awards 2024.
