Camila and Matthew McConaughey Make Thanksgiving ‘Tequila Turkey’

Camila and Matthew McConaughey are adding a little something extra to their Thanksgiving dinner this year.

In one Instagram video posted on Wednesday, Nov. 27, Camila, 41, was joined by her actor husband, 55, as she put a special twist on a traditional turkey with a healthy splash of the couple’s Pantalones organic tequila.

The clip began with Camila pouring Pantalones into a bowl full of brine containing a whole turkey. Matthew then appeared and said to the camera, “More,” to which Camila replied with a smile, “No, I don’t.”

Someone off-camera — presumably Matthew — then cheekily poured more tequila into the mix as Camila laughed and said, “Hey that’s good, but save some for us!”

Next, Camila revealed a bowl of sliced ​​apples and onions, noting that they went into the turkey along with the aromatics, before showing off the tasty end result as she pulled the finished bird out of the oven.

“Oh look how beautiful it is!” Camila commented. “We just made a picture turkey with Pantalones. It’s beautiful. I’ve never made a turkey so beautiful before.”

“Now I’m going to enjoy some tequila turkey with my Pantalones Tequila. Enjoy, Happy Thanksgiving,” Camila added as she kissed the camera before the video switched to her tucking into a piece of the bird.

The McConaugheys, who share three children, announced their joint tequila brand in October 2023.

In a nod to the name of their project, they announced the news with a cheeky, pantsless video, joking that their new spirit was “the best thing we’ve done with our pants on.”

After promising many more pantless ads to come, the pair were shirtless again as they celebrated the brand’s first birthday last month surrounded by balloons, streamers and cakes, including one shaped like a bottle of Pantalones.

Other campaigns have shown the couple riding motorcycles, playing pickleball and mowing the lawn without their pants on.
