From Matthew McConaughey to a world title, the Princess Cruises Margarita Record highlights a massive year with over one million 24K Margaritas sold.
History was made on the high seas this week as Princess Cruises officially broke the GUINNESS WORLD RECORD title for the Most Margaritas Sold in 8 Hours. The record-breaking feat took place on February 17 aboard the Regal Princess while docked in Cozumel, Mexico.
During a sun-drenched 7-day Western Caribbean cruise, guests and crew transformed the ship into a massive floating fiesta. By the end of the eight-hour window, the team had served 3,410 handcrafted 24K Margaritas, easily toppling the previous record of 2,728.

The timing of the record couldn’t be more perfect. Princess Cruises also announced a massive sales milestone: the brand has sold 1,038,197 signature 24K Margaritas between January 1, 2025, and January 7, 2026.
The 24K Margarita, which has become a “must-sip” staple of the Princess experience, features a premium blend of:
- Pantalones Organic Blanco Tequila
- Cointreau and Grand Marnier
- Fresh margarita mix
- A classic salted rim
Princess Cruises Margarita Record: The McConaughey Connection
The drink’s success is rooted in a partnership launched in October 2024 with Pantalones Organic Tequila, co-founded by Camila and Matthew McConaughey. The Hollywood duo, who also serve as godparents to the fleet’s newest ship, Star Princess, sent a congratulatory video message to the guests and crew of Regal Princess to celebrate the world record.
“Pantalones serves our guests a spirit of joy, storytelling, and easygoing adventure that mirrors the Princess onboard experience,” said Sami Kohen, Princess Cruises Vice President of Food and Beverage. “Celebrating one million 24K Margaritas and making history with a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title on National Margarita Day, captures the incredible spirit and enthusiasm our guests brought to create this unforgettable moment at sea.”
More Than Just a Margarita
While the 24K Margarita takes the spotlight, the partnership with Pantalones has expanded to include a full lineup of creative cocktails, designed by Princess Mixologist Rob Floyd, including the spicy Pants on Fire and the refreshing Fancy Pants Paloma. The brand is part of the exclusive “Love Line Premium Liquors Collection,” which features other celebrity-backed spirits from stars like Jon Bon Jovi, Liev Schreiber, and Kylie Minogue. Whether you’re visiting the roaming Pantalones Organic Tequila Custom Cart on deck or enjoying a drink at the bar, it’s clear that Princess Cruises has found the perfect recipe for record-breaking success.
