In case you don’t already know, Austin’s favorite golden boy is the man behind the coolest new cocktail ingredient in town. And no surprise, it’s got style. Matthew McConaughey is now making headlines with his Award-Winning Organic Tequila Pantalones. This latest passion project is a joint project with his wife Camila Alves McConaughey. Spoiler alert? It’s really good.
We got to try it in the dreamy setting of Verdad, paired with the cocktail that’s quickly becoming THE drink in Austin right now. You’re gonna want the details…
Here’s the Tea on Pantalones!
Matthew and Camila’s Pantalones Organic Tequila isn’t just another celebrity flex. It’s actually really good.
From the first sip, it’s clear this isn’t about hype. It’s smooth, clean and has none of that harsh burn you brace for with lesser bottles. This is the kind of tequila you want to sip, not just shoot.
And the bottle? Let’s talk about that for a second. Classic, minimal, no gimmicks—just timeless design with a wink of Texas charm. It’s giving quiet luxury, not party trick.
Now here’s where things get interesting: North Central restaurant Verdad is currently mixing Pantalones into a cocktail called the Brava Guava Mule.
Here’s what it’s got going on:
- Pantalones Organic Tequila
- Guava purée
- Fresh lime juice
- Ginger beer
It’s light, fruity, slightly spicy and somehow manages to feel like a vacation in a glass. The guava gives it this soft sweetness, the lime keeps it fresh and the ginger beer adds the perfect bite. It’s the kind of drink that makes you pause after the first sip and go: wait… what is this magic?
Safe to say, this cocktail and I are going to be seeing a lot more of each other.
Dinner, Drinks & Verdad Vibes
Verdad nailed the whole evening. The space feels elevated without being fussy with a beautiful design, great lighting and an easy energy that makes you want to stay a little longer. The dinner was a dream (but that’s another post). For now, let’s just say the cocktail stole the show.
We came for the curiosity, stayed for the drink and left with a new favorite tequila.
So, if you’re in Austin and looking for something new to sip—go to Verdad, order the Brava Guava Mule, and thank us later. It’s the perfect mix of Texas heat and Hollywood cool.
