On behalf of Cantera Negra Tequila, check out the below twists on the most popular cocktails, including margarita, espresso martini, paloma, mule and bloody mary. Cantera Negra is certified additive-free and celebrity-free ultra-premium tequila made from 100% fully mature blue weber agave, and their portfolio includes Silver, Reposado, Añejo, Extra Añejo and Café.
Dulce Noche
This is an easy riff on a classic Espresso Martini. The addition of condensed milk gives the drink a rich depth reminiscent of dulce de leche, playing off the bitter chocolate notes of espresso.
- 1oz Cantera Negra Café
- 2oz Espresso
- .24oz sweet condensed milk
Add all ingredients to cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously. Double strain into chilled coup or martini glass. Garnish with cinnamon powder.
Cinco Paloma
This is our favorite way to make a paloma – it is quick, easy and refreshing. It has a cult following in the industry, and you may have seen it recently in viral TikTok videos.
- 2oz Cantera Negra Silver
- .5oz fresh lime juice
- 5oz Mexican Squirt
- Tajin and sugar for rim
Build over ice in a Collins glass rimmed with tajin/sugar mix (3 parts tajin to 1 part sugar). Stir and garnish with a grapefruit slice.
Piña Mule
This version of a classic uses Tepache in place of ginger beer. Tepache is a traditional Mexican fermented beverage made from the peels and rind of pineapple. The ginger version keeps the familiar notes of the classic cocktail, while adding sweetness and depth with the tepache, resulting in a great spring sipper.
- 2oz Cantera Negra Silver
- 5oz Ginger Tepache
- .5oz fresh lime juice
- Chili mango and lime for garnish
Add all ingredients into copper mug over ice, stir and garnish with chili mango and lime.

- About Cantera Negra Tequila: Cantera Negra is award-winning, ultra-premium tequila, hand-crafted in small batch quantities from 40 years of family tradition in Mexico. Decades ago, Don Alberto Becherano began making tequila as a hobby, and he has been perfecting his proprietary method for making what we believe to be among the best tasting tequilas in the world ever since, and now alongside his son, Dan, who is the Master Blender. Cantera Negra means “Black Quarry,” inspired by the rich volcanic soil from where our agaves grow. Our tequila is handcrafted in small-batch quantities using 100% fully mature Blue Weber agaves. We do not believe in cutting corners and permit only time-honored traditional production methods, and unlike others, we never add sugars or colorings.
