Both Karol G and Gonz\u00e1lez Nieves emphasize that the project is much more involved than other so-called \u201ccelebrity tequilas\u201d on the already crowded market \u2014 the Colombian singer worked closely with the Casa Dragones team on development, a process that took years rather than months.<\/p>\n

The tequila base for 200 Copas is an a\u00f1ejo aged more than 12 months in custom American oak barrels before being filtered into a Cristalino.<\/p><\/div>\n
The project\u2019s name draws directly from \u201c200 Copas,\u201d the celebratory anthem that has garnered more than 468 million YouTube views. In the music video, Karol G and friends dance around a bonfire in Punta Mita, Mexico, raising glasses of tequila. She has described that night as a turning point, one that made her feel \u201creborn,\u201d surrounded by joy, family, and music.<\/p>\n
For her, tequila is tied not just to celebration but also to reflection \u2014 \u201cimmortalizing a moment,\u201d as she put it in an interview with Food & Wine before a recent Paris performance on her \u201cTotally Crazy!\u201d tour. Even before the Cristalino\u2019s official release, she discreetly shared it at tour stops, using it for private toasts with her team.<\/p>\n

The long timeline and commitment to quality were part of the appeal. \u201cI think I just found the right people to do this,\u201d she said of the Casa Dragones team.<\/p>\n
For Gonz\u00e1lez Nieves, the partnership aligns with the distillery\u2019s ethos. \u201cWe\u2019re explorers in the tequila category. With every inch of inspiration, we get to go on a new journey,\u201d she said, adding that \u201chaving the opportunity to create a love letter in the name of a song that became a movement with an incredible global artist\u2026 and tell the Latin story together, was like an injection of adrenaline into our hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Casa Dragones intends for the tequila to be consumed neat or in cocktails. Karol G has said she loves it in Palomas.<\/p><\/div>\n
Last year, Gonz\u00e1lez Nieves brought her production team to one of Karol G\u2019s concerts in Guadalajara. The performance, she said, underscored the parallels between the singer\u2019s work ethic and Casa Dragones\u2019 approach to craft.<\/p>\n
As for the tequila itself, Gonz\u00e1lez Nieves describes it as part of a \u201cjourney of taste.\u201d The Cristalino carries sweet floral and cooked agave notes, layered with subtle citrus, shaped by the custom American Oak used in aging. \u201cWe believe that people who love tequila are really coming for those notes,\u201d Nieves said. Karol G has called it a true sipping tequila. \u201cIt\u2019s amazing to have the experience of trying the tequila in a different way,\u201d the singer said.<\/p>\n
