Sabrina Carpenter is reimagining her summer chart-topper, “Espresso,” with a fittingly on-brand cocktail collaboration.

On Wednesday, Absolut Vodka and Kahlúa coffee liqueur joined forces for the Short N’ Sweet Espresso Martini Kit, named in honor of the pop star’s most recent album and concert tour. In addition to the expected cocktail essentials, the kit contains a few nods to Carpenter’s recognizable motifs.

Inside the box, you’ll find 375 ml bottles of Absolut and Kahlúa, Owen’s Espresso Martini mix, a coupe glass decorated with a lacy red ribbon and an edible kiss mark-shaped garnish. The kit is now available for pre-order through BlockBar at $85 with shipping expected sometime this month.

“It’s no surprise how much I love Espresso, so I’m super excited about this partnership and to be able to share one of my favorite cocktails with my fans,” Carpenter remarked in a news release. “This will be the perfect addition for any holiday celebration, cheers!”

Kahlúa is hot off a string of celebrity collaborations positioning its liqueur as the definitive choice for espresso martinis.

At the end of October, the brand joined forces with Cardi B for a “Whip, Sip, Sleigh” campaign that featured the rapper’s vodka-infused Whipshots alongside Kahlúa’s latest chocolate flavor. Just a few weeks earlier,  Kahlúa toasted the imminent premiere of “Wicked” with a Straight from Oz cocktail kit — that one contained an espresso martini recipe inspired by writer and podcast host Evan Ross Katz. Actress Salma Hayek has also taken on the role of brand ambassador in years past with a series of telenovela-inspired advertisements.

Suffice it to say that Sabrina Carpenter was an obvious next choice for a brand partnership.

“Absolut and Kahlúa are continuing to build the legacy of the Espresso Martini by partnering with Sabrina Carpenter whose artistry aligns with the festive, vibrant energy of our brands,” Caroline Begley, VP of Marketing for Absolut and Kahlúa, added. “As seen through her massively successful tour, Sabrina is no stranger to bringing people together, and we’re thrilled to be a part of creating a moment that connects music lovers and cocktail enthusiasts alike, especially during the holiday season with an Espresso Martini in hand.”
