Kendall Jenner is looking to accessorize alcohol bottles.
Jenner’s alcohol brand 818 Tequila will soon be selling 818 Minis, 50-milliliter bottles of tequila that the reality television star and model hopes consumers will wear as accessories after enjoying. Known as “shooters,” “tasters” or “nips,” these pocket-size tequila bottles will come in Reposado and Blanco, according to an 818 Tequila news release.
The minis are a part of a campaign Tequila 818 has called “Free the Nip.”
“No longer confined to minibars or airplane carts, the 818 Minis are now more versatile and spontaneous, clipped to your purse, going where you go,” the news release states.
To launch the minis, 818 Tequila is partnering with Gopuff, the around-the-clock delivery service. Starting at midnight ET on Sept. 8, customers can purchase a limited-edition 818 Minis bundle that includes a collectible 818 Mini Bag Charm.
Here’s what to know about the pocket-size tequilas.

What is 818 Tequila?
Jenner launched 818 Tequila in 2021. The brand’s tequila is produced in Jalisco, Mexico at a family-owned distillery, according to the news release. In addition to Blanco and Reposado, 818 Tequila offers two more variations: Añejo (vanilla, toffee and herbal notes) and Eight Reserve (agave, vanilla, cinnamon, dried berries and praline). The latter is aged for up to eight years.
According to the 818 Tequila website, the brand gets its’ name from the San Fernando Valley area code – 818, where Jenner and her family are from.
Upon its launch, 818 Tequila and Jenner faced criticism, as some found the brand to be a form of cultural appropriation – a non-Latina celebrity creating a tequila brand.
