Over the last decade and a half, Cîroc Vodka has become one of the most successful celebrity-owned liquor brands. With that under his belt, rapper Sean Combs has been trying his hand at tequila with DeLeón Tequila, relaunching a sleek new bottle design in December 2020.

“Tequila was the first drink that I ever had when I saved up and took my girlfriend on my first trip to Cancún, Mexico,” Diddy said in an interview with Vogue. “I remember the bottles would have a worm in them, so you had to be really adventurous to try it. But I fell in love with the art of it, and it was always a dream for me to be a young man from Harlem to actually own a tequila brand and make it, to go to Mexico, and do it all the right way.” 

DeLeón Tequila is already a favourite among the top rap and R&B performers, from DJ Khaled to André 3000. Most recently, Diddy partnered up with fellow celebrity liquor brands, Aviation Gin by Ryan Reynolds and Haig Whisky by David Beckham to create a collaborative Super Cocktail on Super Bowl Sunday. After mixing and tasting a blend of all three liquors, the three celebrities called it quits, but not before donating US$1mil to support the bartending community, especially during the pandemic.

Former wrestler, now actor Dwayne Johnson is gunning to be a household name in more ways than one. The launch of Teremana, his line of responsibly sourced and affordable tequila in 2019, was one of the biggest launches in the history of the spirits business:

"In less than one year we’re on track to sell 300,000 cases and ship roughly 400,000 cases of Teremana in our first year of business," the actor wrote on Instagram before adding, "For context, Clooney sold his Casamigos tequila brand at roughly 175,000 cases."

Made with 100 per cent Blue Weber Highlands agave, slow roasted in traditional brick ovens and distilled in handmade copper pot stills, the Blanco tequila in particular has been praised by many for its refreshing citrusy notes and peppery kick, which complement the earthy, herbal agave. And true to Johnson's fitness background, the tequila also comes with a nutrition label.
