Pimentae, the London-based, female-founded tequila cocktail brand, has launched a Tequila Espresso Martini exclusively at Tesco Ireland. The ready-to-drink cocktail is available in 106 stores nationwide for the Christmas season. It joins the brand’s existing Spicy Margarita, Tommy’s Margarita and Grapefruit Margarita on Tesco shelves.
A tequila twist on a familiar serve
The new cocktail blends tequila, cold brew coffee, coffee liqueur and vanilla, and has an ABV of 14.5%. The brand describes it as inspired by the spirit of Mexico after dark and made for the nights you don’t want to end.
On the palate, Pimentae says deep roasted coffee notes create a rich, velvety flavour, balanced by gentle sweetness and a smooth, warming finish. The ready-to-drink format brings coffee and tequila together for festive entertaining or gifting.
The Tequila Espresso Martini is priced at €4 with a Clubcard, with a regular price of €5. The three margaritas in the range are also available at €4 each with a Clubcard (regular price €5). The cocktails are sold in the chilled RTD section and are not available in Tesco Express or Metro stores.
Building on a relationship with Tesco
Tesco became the first Irish retailer to stock Pimentae in October 2025 and remains the brand’s primary retail partner in Ireland. That move was also Pimentae’s first European retail launch. The new cocktail further strengthens the brand’s presence in the Irish market.
Liliana Caruto, Buying Manager for Ready to Drink at Tesco Ireland, said: “Having been the first Irish retailer to introduce Pimentae last year, it’s great to build on that relationship with the exclusive launch of its Tequila Espresso Martini. Available in the chilled RTD section in 106 Tesco stores nationwide, it brings a tequila twist to a much-loved cocktail and gives customers another option for enjoying bar-quality cocktails at home this Christmas, whether entertaining guests or looking for a premium festive gift or stocking filler.”
A London brand with a growing reach
Pimentae was founded by Alice Parmiter and Wynter Karo. Their mission is to redefine how and when tequila is enjoyed, bringing bar-quality cocktails into convenient, ready-to-drink formats.
Since launching in 2021, the brand has grown to more than 1,200 locations across the UK. Stockists include Waitrose, Co-op, Ocado, Selfridges, Sainsbury’s and British Airways, as well as major UK airports including Gatwick, Heathrow and Manchester. Pimentae has been recognised with three Great Taste Awards and featured in Forbes 30 Under 30.
For those planning festive drinks at home, the launch sits alongside other seasonal options such as an everyday Crémant de Bourgogne. Those heading out this season may find ideas in our guide to the food worth queuing for at Christmas markets.
