Make ours a tequila please - cheers!
Mexico’s signature spirit is enjoying a comeback and celebrity-backed brands are leading the way. P Diddy, Justin Timberlake and George Clooney have all invested in their own labels and George launches his brand (with best mate Rande Gerber) Casamigos, in the UK tonight.
