Recommend me reasonably priced tequila

[MrSlacker]

I am looking for reasonable priced tequila. Nothing over around $60 for 750ml. I usually drink Jose Cuervo Especial because it is cheap. My dad got me a bottle of Patron Silver and I really enjoy it. What would be your recommendations for tequila in my price range.?

[naamanf]

Do you plan on drinking it straight or with a mixer? If I am mixing drinks I usually get Sauza or Cazadores. Straight I get Patron Anejo, Don Julio Anejo or Herradura. The Sauza Tres Generations isn't bad either.

Sauza is my go to cheap tequila.

I drink it straight with a lime and salt.

Sauza is my go to cheap tequila.

Which Sauza in particular?

Hard to beat these recommendations. Of these, I prefer Don Julio A

[grawk]

herradura is good stuff.

Whichever sauza is convenient.

Funny, I was just thinking about asking a similar question about Tequilas...

Don Julio A

[grawk]

any price for any quantity of cuervo is a bad deal.

[Voltron]

I second what Dan says and Patron is a polished turd. Don't bother if you want to drink real tequila.

Mexicans drink Don Julio if they can afford it. Enuf sed.

It's still your birthday, so I will smile and concur. Some really expensive Cuervo does not equal shit juice.

Thanks. I'll concur with you too. When we were in Mazatl

[MrSlacker]

Alright sounds like I will pick up a bottle of Don Julio A

[grawk]

as with any good liquor, neat. No lime, no salt, no ice. Sip it, don't slam it.

The salt and lime are part of a fun ritual, but really should be avoided if possible. I do like a little lime wedge on occasion, but the salt I leave for the rim of a real juice, real booze margarita (rocks, of course).

[Dusty Chalk]

There's a time and place for everything, and the time and place for lime and salt are frat parties and cheap tequila. A good tequila is drinkable neat, as I found out recently, and should be savored.

I love all shit called tequila, but must be gold...

[catscratch]

Definitely go for Don Julio, and Anejo is the way to go, though other varieties of Don Julio aren't bad either. The Bianco has a nice mild flavor.

My favorite widely-available commercial hard liquor.

Good Tequila is really hard to get down in Australia, but I recently splashed out and bought a mate a bottle of '1800 Anejo' tequila as a gift. Does anybody know if it is any good?

1800 isn't bad, but it's not in the same class as the tequilas Dan first suggested.

It's still Cuervo.
