[Speaking in 2015] It was a dream to have my own business and the idea to create premium tequila came 15 years ago when I spotted a glamorous woman, who looked like she'd just stepped off the pages of Vogue magazine, drinking tequila... I wanted my own brand of 100 per cent tequila made from the blue weber agave plant that was affordable. I spent ages researching and developing this and I launched AquaRiva Tequila in 2012.
