The Blast received the recipe for this daring latest cocktail via email. Here’s how you may mix it up and revel in it yourself.

  • 2 oz Pantalones Organic Reposado Tequila

  • 1 oz Honey Syrup (½ oz honey + ½ oz warm water)
  • 1-2 Slices of Habanero Pepper (Garnish)
  • Honey and Coarse Salt (Rim)
  1. Rim a coupe glass with honey, then dip it into coarse salt; put aside.
  2. Prepare honey syrup by mixing equal parts honey and warm water, stirring until combined.
  3. In a shaker, mix tequila, lemon juice, and honey syrup. Shake vigorously—or, as McConaughey puts it, “such as you’re attempting to swat a bee away.”
  4. Pour into the prepared coupe glass.
  5. Garnish with habanero slices to bring the King’s Sting heat.
  6. Sip and revel in the sweet burn.

Matthew McConaughey Hangs Out With Woody Harrelson At Austin FC Game

The actor had a really busy weekend. Ahead of the brand new movie premiere, Pantalones co-founder Matthew McConaughey was seen on the Austin FC match, sipping tequila alongside longtime friend Woody Harrelson.

For years, McConaughey and Harrelson’s close friendship has sparked jokes about how much they resemble one another. But what began as playful banter took a more intriguing turn when McConaughey’s mother, Mary, casually dropped a comment that left each actors questioning whether or not they might actually be related.

In accordance with McConaughey, his mother once told Harrelson that she “knew” his father, accompanied by a suggestive wink. That offhand remark led the longtime friends to contemplate the likelihood that they may share the identical biological father. Harrelson has since expressed interest in taking a DNA test to uncover the reality.

If the outcomes confirm their suspicions, the revelation that McConaughey and Harrelson share the identical hitman father could be nothing in need of Hollywood gold and maybe even the proper premise for a Netflix documentary.
