The way to a man's heart is through his stomach, but that of Matthew McConaughey reached his wife Camila through a cocktail. That drink, the dirty margarita, formed the chassis of their love, because twenty years later they are not only still married, but also founders of Pantalones, perhaps the best tequila that exists.

And you can now taste that tequila too. I don't know if I can arrange for Matthew McConaughey to be there, then I might get into trouble with Camila, but a tequila tasting, a Pantalones Paloma, the summer cocktail of 2026 if you ask me, I mean: we do need something different than that eternal orange-red drink, and free tickets for the amazing BITE Festival, I'm going to give all that to you.

BITE Festival in Amsterdam's Amstelpark with visitors, food stands, lights, and lots of greenery.

Why you want to go to BITE Festival

There are festivals where, once you've been, you want to go back the next year immediately. BITE is such a case of recidivism. A summer weekend where everything revolves around taste. Their tagline is the ultimate destination for food lovers and it really is. Think of all kinds of stalls and booths where the best of the best is served, while music plays and the sun hopefully does exactly what we expect of her in mid-June.

BITE Festival takes place from June 19 to 21 in Amsterdam's Amstelpark and that might be an extra bonus, because the park is wonderfully green and easily accessible.

The tequila of Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves

What we offer you besides those tickets for BITE is a tequila tasting and a Pantalones Paloma cocktail. In small glasses by the way, because we want to make sure you get home safely. And believe me: that alone is a reason to want to go to BITE.

Pantalones Tequila is not just a drink that a celebrity couple has attached their name to. It is truly the love project of Matthew McConaughey and his wife Camila Alves. They felt there was a need for a tequila that is of high quality, but at the same time radiates lightness and zest for life. Hence the name: Pantalones.

In almost all campaigns, we see Matthew and Camila appearing without pants. Everything is of course strategically censored, unfortunately for the Matthew fans among us. Pantalones stands for having fun, being bold, and not taking life too seriously.

Why Pantalones tequila is so good

Well, because it is 100% premium tequila, distilled from blue Weber agave. This makes the taste so smooth that you can drink it neat, but it also works perfectly in a margarita or paloma.

Can you see yourself sitting on the porch of Matthew and Camila, the sky orange and pink above a hilly landscape full of cacti, a warm evening breeze smelling of sage? And then, as if the script has decided so, a stray Lenny Kravitz gallops by in the distance on a horse, casually and naturally without a shirt. You blink your eyes. He is still there. You take another sip. Forgive me my fantasy. That's what tequila does to you.
