Tequila is so often associated with summer drinks, Margaritas in the sunshine, a Ranch Water after an arvo at the beach (seriously, a Ranch Water on a warm day… wow). But winter is just as good for a tequila based drink, and even better when it’s made with our absolutely favourite Pantalones Organic Tequila, co-founded by Matthew and Camila McConaughey. So… you ready for some options? Here ya go!
