A Unique Cocktail Experience at Nekajui and Pantalones

In the picturesque setting of Peninsula Papagayo, the luxurious Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, has launched a new cocktail program in partnership with Pantalones Organic Tequila. This collaboration marks the brand's first debut in Costa Rica, bringing together the legacy of Texas with the vibrant cowboy culture of Guanacaste, Costa Rica.

Pantalones Organic Tequila, co-founded by the acclaimed Matthew and Camila McConaughey, is crafted from 100% blue Weber agave sourced from Amatitlán, Jalisco, Mexico. This premium tequila has already won numerous accolades, establishing itself as a leading name in the organic spirits market. The resort's exclusive cocktail menu, dubbed The Cowboy Mermaid, is a creative blend of the McConaughey’s Lone Star roots and the rich agricultural heritage of Costa Rica.

Celebrating Culture Through Craftsmanship

The new cocktail collection aims to merge the imaginative spirit of Cowboy culture with Costa Rican surf traditions. Each drink draws inspiration from the raw beauty and bold flavors inherent in both cultures, showcasing a commitment to craftsmanship. Matthew and Camila McConaughey express their enthusiasm, stating: "We literally met over margaritas, and our connection to tequila is primal and romantic—perfectly capturing the essence of love and adventure."

The cocktail menu features signature serves that are thoughtfully crafted with local ingredients, developing a comforting yet adventurous palate experience. Let’s dive into some highlights:

• - Guacachile: A vibrant blend of Pantalones Organic Blanco Tequila, mezcal, and fresh ingredients like avocado and jalapeño. This cocktail offers a zesty yet rich take on a spicy margarita.
• - Goiaba: Utilizing Pantalones Organic Reposado Tequila, this refined guava margarita harnesses tropical flavors while maintaining a bright acidity, thanks to the pink guava and a sprinkle of guava salt.
• - Tixos Old Fashioned: Combining Pantalones Organic Añejo Tequila with Costa Rican cold brew coffee and cacao distillate, this innovative cocktail adds layers of warmth and richness, celebrating Texas’ boldness with Costa Rica’s coffee culture.
• - Palomitas: Featuring Pantalones Organic Blanco Tequila, this whimsical take on the Paloma incorporates grapefruit, coconut soda, and uniquely garnished with popcorn salt—a fun tribute to tequila's playful nature.
