For sipping I like Lunazul Reposado 100% Agave. I can get a 750ml for $16.95 around here, while Patron is more than twice the price. Mucho bang for the buck.

Two other bang for the buck booze recommendations: Burnett's Vodka ($8.95/750ml or $15.95/1750ml) and Elijah Craig 12 Year Old Bourbon ($16.95/750ml).

I want to smash the people who said Cuervo/1800/Cabo Wabo over the head with the bottle. What the fuck? Learn to drink like a grown up.

Don Julio for what I can get at the liquor store down the road. Cazadores and Patron are good also, but I generally mix with them. Haven't tried a lot of the other ones listed but I will be ordering soon.

You say to drink like a grown-up yet bash them like you're a little kid. If they like it more power to them.

I could never get into Tequila. I'll drink it for fun but anything where you need to lick salt and suck on a lemon to get rid of the taste seems a bit pointless when theres so many other aqua vitas around.

That's only necessary with the cheap stuff like Cuervo

This is one I think many people are going to have a hard time pin pointing. I recently just found mine as it was a gift from my parents for Christmas. Herencia Mexican Anejo Tequila. Holy crap is it good. Smooth without losing the flavor. Beautiful in color. Quite good stuff. What's your favorite?

Patron

smooth. no chaser needed to kill the after taste

I remember that thread. I went ahead and tried like 5 of the recommendations. I agree that Cazadores is the shiz. Very reasonable in comparison, too.

Try a good one. For years I thought I hated tequila. It turns out I only hate cheap tequila :^D If you like scotch and Irish, good tequila is a natural extension. Drink it room temperature, without salt or other gimmicks. Shots are for people who don't like the taste of alcohol.

Speaking of shots... A long time ago, when I was younger, I had some people over my house. Along with those people came someone that was out of place for my normal crowd. Not to be a dick or anything, but he wasn't quite as "refined" as the rest. He saw me drinking scotch, and wanted a shot. Not a glass, but a shot. He said I could pick it out. I chose a cask strength Islay, but I don't remember the brand anymore. The look on his face was priceless. Trying to look like a tough guy, while being in pain :^D

It's supposed to be a lime and that is only for cheap tequila, like tl60 said.

Wrong. They need to learn. I tell lots of people to drink like a grown up. I'm also referred to as an alcoholic frequently. I don't know.

I'll have to try that.

Usually 1800, though Cuervo is fairly cheap and tastes good enough with salt.

I'm not a big tequilla drinker though, ever since a night with Jagermeister, tequilla, and Goldschlager all at various points throughout.

It went something like :twisted: D:

You must be talking about shots. Anything is fine for shots. Sipping is a different story.

Having had everything Patron has to offer, I do agree they make pretty good tequila but far from the best I've had.

Agreed but I've only tried 5-6.

I've tried all the big brands, I've spent more I've spent less, but i still like my patron.

What do mean by "all the big brands". What else have you tried?


I'm a fan of Don Julio Anejo myself. That's what I got in Mexico when I asked for their best tequila. Sipping on that is delightful.

You mean a margarita isn't cuervo and a sour mix?

lol.

i've tried 3 different brands, so sample size lacking.

however, i really like sauza hornitos reposado in my margaritas. tastes good, clean... mixes very well in my margaritas, which are kind of a bastardized margarita.

(1 part tequila, 1 part curacao, 1 part lemon juice... served over ice)

Don Julio is my favorite but I do like Patron also.
