When she's not strutting the runway, Jennifer Hawkins is busy running the property development company J Group she owns with husband Jake Wall.

And now the 31-year-old former Miss Universe and her builder beau are expanding their business ventures further.

Capitalising on their love for sipping cheeky tequilas here and there, the celebrity couple who tied the knot in 2013 have launched their own tequila business called Sesion.

Taking to Instagram with some details about the company, Jake recently wrote: 'Pumped to announce that we have created a new premium tequila brand called SESIÓN.

'Our goal for the last two years was to bring out the smoothest 100% agave tequila possible and #SESIONTEQUILA is just that.

'We've sourced our tequila from Mexico's (UNESCO) World Heritage site and distillery - Tierra de Agaves, owned by 8th generation tequila dynasty the Beckmann family.

'It's been a crazy ride and we can't wait for you to try it!' he added of the brand which is named after the Spanish word for session. 

Special taste: The couple have launched three flavours of 100 per cent agave tequila - Reposado, Blanco and Mocha Liquer

Making their way through the agave fields, Jake even put his handyman skills to good use at the time, helping the local farmers harvest the plant from which the distilled beverage is produced. 

Sesion is Jake and Jennifer's latest commercial project, and while it may seem surprising to see the pair front an alcoholic beverage venture, Jake says it was a no-brainer given the pair's love for the drink.

'Tequila was a natural progression because it is our drink of choice, we love it, so thought why not do our own?' he told The Daily Telegraph. 

'Jen and I have a pretty healthy lifestyle, but we do like a drink and to let our hair down and tequila gives a really good vibe,' he also added. 

Meanwhile, when speaking to Gourmet Traveller recently, beauty queen Jennifer said: 'There's definitely a gap in the market for an Australian tequila'. 

'We find that if we have tequila, the night takes unexpected turns - it's more spontaneous and fun. It kind of elevates you,' she also said.

Releasing in three varieties - Reposado, Blanco and Mocha Liquer - Jennifer's joint venture with her husband is her second, as the pair also own property development company J Group. 

Having won Miss Universe back in 2004, Jennifer is also a prominent face in Australian fashion as a face of retail giant Myer. 

And she's proved she's just as savvy off the runway as opposed to on, with her own tanning and beauty range called JBronze.
