Casa Malka Tequila was recently selected as the featured spirit for Nobu NYC’s Cocktail of the Month program at Nobu Fifty Seven and Nobu Downtown, bringing together two brands that embody the values of refined simplicity, cultural relevance, and thoughtful design.
Throughout May, guests at the world-renowned Japanese-Peruvian restaurant can enjoy the Apricot Hikari cocktail, which captures the essence of Casa Malka Blanco – a highland tequila characterized by purity, balance, and subtle complexity. Elegant, pure, and expressive, the drink embodies Nobu’s culinary philosophy of minimal ingredients for maximum visual impact. The partnership was a natural fit.
Founded by Jayson Winer and Malka Roth, Casa Malka was founded on the same principles that define Nobu’s global identity: a deep respect for quality, a commitment to storytelling, and a timeless aesthetic.
Shaped like a modern relic—ridged, sculptural, and with a bold, minimalist brand logo—Casa Malka’s bottle quickly resonated with trend-forward venues and tastemakers alike—offering a tequila that feels at home in a well-designed space.
“Nobu represents everything Casa Malka strives for,” Ross told The Spirits Business. “It’s elegant, thoughtful, and culturally influential. I’m honored to be included in their bar program.”
Casa Malka Blanco is made with 100% Blue Weber agave, naturally fermented to preserve the delicate qualities of the agave. The drink has a citrus nose, with soft minerality and a hint of white pepper—perfect for neat sipping or mixing in a sophisticated cocktail.
The brands’ shared values go beyond aesthetics, embodying a philosophy that honors intention over excess. Nobu and Casa Malka represent a shift from loud luxury to something more nuanced, combining quality, design and cultural fit.
High Profile
Casa Malka has worked with a growing list of high-profile clients, including Doma, Central Park Club, Kissaki, and branded events for a range of fashion, LPGA events and music festivals in New York and Miami. These collaborations are designed to create moments where product and venue coexist in harmony.
The partnership comes on the heels of another major milestone for the brand: winning three gold medals at the inaugural Tequila Blind Tasting Competition, judged by leading tequila experts. Winning in the categories of Blanco, Reposado and Aged, Casa Malka proved that beautiful design means nothing without exceptional spirits – and Casa Malka raised the bar in both categories. As two brands that lead with restraint, craftsmanship and cultural relevance, Casa Malka and Nobu’s collaboration is less about a traditional collaboration and more about bringing shared philosophies to the glass.
