When superstar Matthew McConaughey debuted his Pantalones Organic Tequila last year, it was quickly snapped up by both fans and tequila enthusiasts keen to try it. Now, the brand will be expanding across the U.S. thanks to a distribution deal with Southern Glazer’s.

“We are thrilled to be able to bring Pantalones Organic Tequila to tequila drinkers across the country via Southern Glazer’s,” said Andrew T. Chrisomalis, co-founder and Chairman of Pantalones. “We’ve received such positive traction and consumer feedback in the short amount of time since launching late last year. This amazing momentum, alongside our partnership with Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits, means the sky’s the limit for Pantalones.”

While celebrity backed tequilas can be a mixed bag, Pantalones has succeeded in standing out from the crowd by winning a slew of awards and partnering with environmental organizations dedicated to protecting the planet. The brand has three expressions: a blanco, reposado, and an añejo, and all three are reasonably priced at between $45 and $55 per bottle.

McConaughey co-founded the brand along with his wife, Camilla, with the aim to enjoy good tequila while also having fun. “We launched Pantalones to remind everyone that tequila should be high quality juice, and fun,” said the couple.

“We’re grateful that that message has been well-swallowed on both accounts by both tequila drinkers and the industry. Throughout the last year, we’ve seen Pantalones enjoyed in our local markets via fancy pants cocktails, pickle margaritas, shooters, on the rocks, and straight up—you name it, Pantalones performs. And now, we are bringing Pantalones across the country so everyone can get their Pantalones on…and off.”

A new report digs into the most popular cocktails on the planet, and it found that the most popular option in the U.S. is the caffeinated delight, the Espresso Martini. The report from online retailer City Drinks looked at global search queries in 2024 for the 89 cocktails on the official cocktails registry of the International Bartenders Association and found what drinks were on the way up -- and which ones were on the way down.

The popularity of the Espresso Martini will come as no surprise to anyone who has set foot inside a bar in the last five years. The combination of vodka, fresh espresso, and coffee liqueur is both delicious and a great pick-me-up when it's done right, although it can turn into a monstrosity when it's made too sweet or using bad coffee.

We often talk about new and innovative cocktails here, with unusual ingredients or lesser-known spirits. But there is also something to be said for the classics. Drinks which have been popular for decades or even longer tend to have a good balance of flavors, to be relatively easy to prepare, and to use commonly found ingredients -- so it's always useful to know about these popular options to expand your drinks making at home.
