The News
Kay “MaMac” McConaughey, 94 years old, is starring in a new set of videos for Pantalones Organic Tequila, featuring her as the "Most Interesting Mom in the World." The campaign includes her signature cocktail, "MaMac’s Manhattan," made with Pantalones Organic Extra Añejo Tequila, Averna Amaro, and orange bitters. The campaign is part of Pantalones Organic Tequila's "Official Tequila Of" series.
Pantalones Organic Tequila is using Mother’s Day to launch its extra‑añejo as a premium gifting option, pairing the 94‑year‑old Kay “MaMac” McConaughey with USDA‑certified organic agave and Texas‑barrel aging.
The brand’s new campaign places MaMac’s Manhattan—a mix of Pantalones Extra Añejo, Averna Amaro, orange bitters and a twist—into major retail channels. For distributors the move focuses on the premium gifting segment: the cocktail is priced at $99.99, roughly twice the average price of the core line ($39.99–$49.99). The 8 % share that Mother’s Day accounts for in U.S. spirits sales underscores why a high‑margin product is positioned for this period.
The extra‑añejo finishes in Texas bourbon barrels, giving provenance that resonates with craft‑savvy consumers. Organic spirits grew 15 % YoY in U.S. off‑premise channels in 2025, and only 12 % of U.S. tequila brands are USDA‑certified, so Pantalones’ organic claim is a meaningful differentiator.
Pantalones distributes through Walmart, Total Wine & More, Publix, and ReserveBar, giving it wide retail reach. The brand’s presence in these outlets means the product can be stocked alongside other high‑end offerings without requiring special handling or restricted distribution.
Because only 7 of over 40 celebrity‑led tequila brands achieve full national coverage, distributors should not assume a celebrity tie guarantees market penetration. Instead, they can capitalize on the story: highlight MaMac’s authenticity and the organic certification in shelf‑level messaging and point‑of‑sale displays to justify the premium price.
By aligning product positioning with broader trends—Mother’s Day gifting share, organic‑spirits growth, and the scarcity of national celebrity brands—Pantalones’ campaign offers distributors a clear opportunity to drive high‑margin sales during the gifting season while reinforcing the brand’s narrative focus on authenticity and provenance.
Original Press Release
At 94, Kay “MaMac” McConaughey might be the most entertaining person in the Matthew McConaughey family, and this Mother’s Day, she’s officially taking center stage.
Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves McConaughey are debuting a new set of videos for their brand Pantalones Organic Tequila, starring MaMac as the “Most Interesting Mom in the World,” where she delivers her signature brand of sharp, slightly unfiltered wisdom. Think stories about her husband’s “beast,” her unapologetic love of good tequila, and the kind of one-liners you can’t script.
And because MaMac doesn’t do anything halfway, the campaign also includes her go-to cocktail. “MaMac’s Manhattan” is her twist on a classic, made with Pantalones Organic Extra Añejo Tequila, Averna Amaro, and orange bitters, finished with an orange twist.
The spots introduce MaMac into Pantalones Organic Tequila’s ongoing “Official Tequila Of” campaign, leaning into the brand’s irreverent tone and celebrating the idea that personality only gets better with age.
