Another artist has joined the tequila-making business, and this time, it's inspired by a song. 

Karol G is launching 200 Copas by Casa Dragones, a new cristalino tequila with Bertha González Nieves. 

The Colombian and Mexican collaboration will be named 200 Copas, inspired by Karol G’s song from her 2021 album "KG0516." 

Bertha González Nieves is considered the first woman recognized as a maestra tequilera. The Mexico City native co-founded Casa Dragones in 2009 with Bob Pittman from iHeart Media. 

“When I created my song 200 Copas, I remember being surrounded by my closest friends—who actually all appear in its music video—and thinking how lucky I was to be sharing such cherished moments with them,” said Karol G. “Ever since, I knew I wanted to create something tangible that could capture the value behind that moment and allow people to connect in the same way. Tequila was the drink we were having that night.”

According to the press release, the tequila will be crafted in small batches of no more than 500 cases per batch. 200 Copas by Casa Dragones is made from 100% Blue Weber Agave grown in the volcanic soil of Tequila, Jalisco. It is aged over 12 months in custom American oak barrels and carefully filtered to achieve a crystal-clear body.

A cristalino is a type of tequila that is añejo or aged tequila that has been filtered, often through charcoal, to remove the naturally occurring colors it picks up from spending time inside the barrel.

As for the taste and smell, “on the nose, it offers fresh notes of citrus, pine, and sweet floral. On the palate, it delivers creamy notes of almond, sweet roasted agave, and plum, with a long and rounded finish of honey and spiced wood.” 

“When I met Karol, I immediately resonated with her story—a powerful Latina woman making her own way as a global artist,” said Bertha González Nieves, co-founder and CEO of Casa Dragones. “When Karol approached me about creating something together in honor of her global anthem, 200 Copas, I knew we had to craft a new sipping tequila that was truly unique.”

Karol G will raise the first official toast with 200 Copas by Casa Dragones during her performances at the legendary Crazy Horse in Paris. 

People can register to pre-order 200 Copas by Casa Dragones at 200copasbycasadragones.com. The product will begin rolling out to select retailers in Mexico and the United States on October 1, 2025, with an additional launch planned in Colombia in 2026.
