If you book an Alto rideshare car in Dallas through January 31, you might get a lucky treat during your ride.
Alexis Smith and Nicole Craven, co-founders of the Après Hours line of canned espresso martinis, have become brand partners of Alto. An Après Hours Alto “Art Car” is now riding city streets as part of Alto’s local fleet. If it happens to pick you up this month, you’ll be served free espresso martini cocktails during the ride to your destination.
Smith and Craven launched their company in August, and dozens of Dallas-area liquor stores have them in stock. Their product is also available online in three different flavors: classic, vanilla, and salted caramel.
