Our Story

Behind the bottles

Born From A Love For Mexico

Rico Royale Tequila was born from a mother and daughter’s deep love for Mexico.

For founder Joan Kane Clancy and her daughter, Joan Dominique Clancy, Mexico became more than a destination. It became a source of beauty, culture, connection, and inspiration. Through years of admiration for the country, its people, its traditions, and its unmistakable spirit, the vision for Rico Royale began to take shape.

They imagined a tequila that felt elegant, pure, and intentional.

A tequila that honored Mexican craft while introducing a modern expression of luxury.

A tequila made not only to be poured, but to be experienced.


Rico Royale is proudly American founded and Mexican crafted.

Every bottle is created with respect for the land, the agave, and the generations of knowledge behind authentic tequila. Crafted in Jalisco from 100% Blue Weber Agave, Rico Royale reflects the discipline of traditional tequila making while presenting it through a refined and modern lens.

This is where heritage meets elegance.

Where craft meets culture.

Where a love for Mexico becomes something you can taste.

A Mother And Daughter Vision

At the heart of Rico Royale is family.

The bond between a mother and daughter shaped the spirit of the brand. Refined, strong, intentional, and deeply personal.

Together, they created Rico Royale for those who believe what you drink should carry meaning. Every detail, from the tequila itself to the crystal cut decanter, was chosen to reflect beauty, confidence, and care.

Rico Royale was not created to follow trends.

It was created to make a statement.

Crafted With Respect

Tequila is one of Mexico’s most iconic gifts to the world, and Rico Royale approaches that legacy with respect.

Our purpose is not to reinvent tequila.

Our purpose is to honor it, elevate it, and share it through a luxury experience made for today’s drinker.

With every bottle, Rico Royale celebrates the richness of Mexican craftsmanship and the elegance of thoughtful design.

More Than Tequila

Rico Royale is more than a spirit.

It is a tribute to connection.

A celebration of culture.

A reflection of family.

A symbol of modern luxury.

It was created for the moments that deserve more. The toast. The table. The celebration. The quiet pour at the end of a long day.

Because true luxury is not loud.

It is intentional.
