Furloughed workers shoot to success through Aguas Locas pop-up business
Feb. 22, 2021 at 6:00 am
Furloughed, bored, and locked in the house, Pablo Murillo started blending aguas frescas for his three-year-old daughter in March, completely unaware that his quarantine hobby would soon take off as a full time hustle.
Fast forward almost a year and Murillo and close friend Morris Ellis both quit their day jobs to run Aguas Locas a thriving Instagram and pop-up businesses selling homemade aguas frescas alongside fresh and funky margaritas.
“I’ve had a love connection with aguas frescas ever since I was a little kid. They remind me of my family. My dad is from Mexico City and my mom is from a small Mexican state called Colima,” said Murillo. “In trying to create these nostalgic drinks for my daughter, I had to make them without any sugar because she doesn’t have any sugary drinks.”
