As someone who has enjoyed a fair share of craft spirits over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of sipping on Pantalones Organic Tequila before—and let me tell you, it’s as smooth and refreshing as tequila gets. So, when I heard that Pantalones Organic Tequila, co-founded by Camila and Matthew McConaughey, is now joining Princess Cruises’ “Love Line Premium Liquors” collection, I was pretty excited. The thought of pairing this clean, award-winning tequila with the ocean breeze on a cruise? That’s a match made in cocktail heaven.

This collaboration feels like the perfect fit for Princess Cruises, known for its Love Boat legacy and romantic, adventure-filled voyages. The fun and lighthearted vibe that Pantalones brings—what they call their “pants-free” attitude—mirrors the cruise line’s focus on relaxation and enjoyment. Plus, if you’ve ever had one of those long, lazy afternoons on a cruise deck with a cocktail in hand, you know there’s nothing quite like it. Now, with Pantalones Organic Tequila onboard, that experience just got even better.

A Tequila with Heart

For those unfamiliar with Pantalones Organic Tequila, it’s not your typical celebrity spirit. It’s genuinely good, high-quality tequila. When I first tried it, I was struck by how clean it tasted—no artificial burn, just pure, smooth flavor. Whether you prefer Blanco, Reposado, or Añejo, Pantalones offers an expression for every palate. And it’s 100% organic, making it a great option for those who appreciate sustainability in their spirits. I’ve served it up neat to friends who were surprised by how drinkable it was on its own, not just in a cocktail.

Now, Princess Cruises guests will have access to all three expressions—Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo—across bars throughout the fleet. Whether you’re a casual cruiser or a seasoned traveler, these tequilas will be available through the Princess Plus and Princess Premier beverage packages, giving everyone a chance to enjoy this non-pretentious yet premium spirit.

Margaritas, Anyone?

But that’s not all. In true Princess fashion, they’re adding a unique twist with the Pantalones Organic Margarita Cart, which will stroll the decks serving signature cocktails with a side of fun. Imagine lounging on the sun deck and ordering a margarita cart straight to your chair. It’s a cocktail experience unlike any other, and with Princess’ OceanNow service, you can have it delivered wherever you are onboard. That kind of personal touch is what makes cruising so special.

Some of the cocktails you can look forward to include playful names like Hot Pants (Blanco Tequila with lime, pineapple, and jalapeño) and the 24K Gold Margarita, made with Pantalones Reposado, Cointreau, Grand Marnier, and a salted rim—perfect for those golden sunsets at sea.

The McConaugheys’ Love Story

The story behind Pantalones makes this collaboration even sweeter. Matthew and Camila McConaughey reportedly first connected over margaritas, and now their shared love for tequila has blossomed into this successful venture. It’s the kind of story that aligns perfectly with the romance-filled ambiance that Princess Cruises is famous for. Their “pants-free” marketing attitude takes the seriousness out of sipping premium spirits, making it all about fun, good company, and relaxation—just what you want while cruising.

A New Chapter in Onboard Spirits

Pantalones Organic Tequila joins an impressive lineup of celebrity-crafted spirits in Princess Cruises’ Love Line Premium Liquors collection, including Liev Schreiber’s Sláinte Irish Whiskey and Jason Aldean’s Melarosa wines. But for tequila lovers like myself, Pantalones is the star of the show. Whether it’s served up in a Fancy Pants Paloma or a Sea Legs cocktail, this tequila adds something special to the cruise experience.

If you’re planning a Princess cruise soon, I highly recommend you give Pantalones a try—whether from the mobile margarita cart or the nearest onboard bar. I know I’ll be grabbing one (or two) of those Hot Pants when I get the chance to sail again. After all, who can resist a cocktail crafted from an award-winning tequila, a sea breeze, and the perfect sunset? It’s the ultimate toast to adventure.
