Wednesday, July 24, is National Tequila Day — and drinking a tequila-based cocktail is among the top ways to celebrate the occasion.

Matthew McConaughey and his wife Camila are partners in Pantalones Organic Tequila, a brand of agave-forward tequila that’s been described as smooth, flavorful and great for sipping.

The brand offers blanco, reposado and anejo tequilas with various flavors, such as honey, citrus, vanilla, butterscotch and maple. 

To celebrate the tequila brand’s first National Tequila Day, the McConaughey couple dropped a spicy photo of themselves in an effort to ask consumers if they are wearing pantalones (pants).

Persia Tatar, the CMO at the company, told Fox News Digital that the new cocktail is a "cheeky tribute" to the "playful brand ethos."
