Try these fresh green tequila cocktails to celebrate the spring

With the arrival of spring, green is the color of the moment. From the fresh bulbs popping up to the grassy parks we’ll soon be enjoying for the summer, everything is fresh and grassy — including the cocktails of the moment.

These spring recipes from Matthew and Camila McConaughey’s Pantalones Organic Tequila embrace the green through the use of ingredients like matcha and melon, getting those juicy flavors running to mix with the tequila. The Green Jeans Matcha Cocktail is new for this season at Bonefish Grill, but we’ve also got the recipe so you can make it at home.
