Scheana Shay and Katie Maloney team up in a fresh commercial for Chili’s Grill & Bar, spotlighting the chain’s latest addition: the Espresso Martini.
The advertisement kicks off with Scheana introducing Chili’s new creation, listing its ingredients – epresso, rum, agave, and tequila. Transitioning seamlessly, Scheana playfully comments, reality show-style, that Katie’ likes tequila, a sentiment Katie readily confirms. As Todd, a Chili’s customer, says he likes tequila, too, the two ladies show up and ask the cameraman about the reason why they are interviewing him, arguing that he’s not famous.
Chili’s Espresso Martini, featuring Lunazul Reposado Tequila, Captain Morgan Spiced Rum, Monin Agave Nectar, Owen’s Espresso Martini Mix, and garnished with coffee beans, debuts in Chili’s restaurants nationwide as of April 15.
Reflecting on her time as a waitress at Chili’s from 2005 to 2006, Scheana Shay shares her journey appreciating the artistry behind crafting tequila cocktails, starting with Chili’s renowned Presidente Margarita. Returning to Chili’s to collaborate in a new capacity and merging her passion for Espresso Martinis marks a full-circle moment for Scheana.
Additionally, Scheana and Katie will feature in a series of lighthearted videos paying homage to their reality television stardom, showcasing their bartending prowess as they take on the role of bartenders at a Chili’s establishment. These ads will air throughout the spring on TV, streaming platforms, social media, and various digital channels.
