Scheana Shay and Katie Maloney Shake Things Up with Chili's New Espresso Martini: Tequila Takes Center Stage in Reality Stars' Collaboration

Chili's Grill & Bar is set to shake up its cocktail menu with a bold new addition - the Espresso Martini. But what makes this rendition unique is the swapsies game: out goes the typical vodka base, and in comes the rich and earthy reposado tequila.

But this is not your average cocktail creation story. Reality stars Scheana Shay and Katie Maloney, better known for their on-screen drama, stepped into the kitchen - or rather, behind the bar - to add their personal touch to the recipe.

Scheana Shay, a familiar face to Chili's aficionados, brought her experience from her past days serving at the chain to the table. In a full-circle moment, she joined forces with Chili's to craft a cocktail that pays homage to her roots. Meanwhile, Katie Maloney, renowned for her tequila expertise, lent her skills to highlight the flavorful mix of ingredients that make up this tantalizing libation.

The Chili's Espresso Martini is no ordinary concoction. Made with Lunazul Reposado Tequila, Captain Morgan Spiced Rum, Monin Agave Nectar, and Owen's Espresso Martini Mix, each sip promises a harmonious blend of flavors that will tantalize the taste buds.

To add an extra sprinkle of stardust to this exciting launch, both Scheana and Katie will be front and center in upcoming ads showcasing their bartending prowess and the collaborative spirit that brought this new creation to life. These ads are set to air on a variety of platforms, giving fans a glimpse into the magic that happens when reality stars turn mixologists.

Starting April 15, the Espresso Martini will be available at Chili's locations nationwide, promising a unique twist on a classic cocktail that is sure to leave patrons coming back for more.
