there are a lot of crappy mixers but stirrings makes a good one. i've had another really good one but can't remember the brand..
either way if the tequila would taste good in stuff like juice or pop id probably buy something i could use in the margerita mix and mixed with something like that also
Beyond that, you might try tequila with a citrus soda like Sprite or 7-Up, sort of a hobo margarita.
I think tequila gets a bad rap because people are used that trashbin stuff college kids buy.
what about citrus juices? like lemonade,orange juice,limeade,etc
it seems like the stuff i bought tastes better mixed with the limeade i bought then with the margerita mix i bought.either way if stuff like orange juice,etc would taste good mixed with it id probably mix it with that also so im not just buyin it to mix with a margerita or whatever
Just sold a bottle of this to one of my customers, he thought I was BS'ing on the price being good - compared to other places that carry it. I sell it for $150 less than anyone else I've seen. He said I could stop by and try a shot. Sorry bout the weird angle, it's waaaay on top and my ladders MIA.
I've been wanting to try it, not because I think I'll like it, I only drink Blanco Tequilas. I probably won't like it, but I'll at least try a shot of anything this high end lol.
I want to come to one of your parties someday he he.
J/K.
:biggrin:
Margaritas and Mojitos I still like, just for shots I avoid it.
Any liquor you're mixing, especially with stuff overly sweet or sour, buy the cheapest shit you can find. Nobody on earth can tell the difference between cheap tequila and expensive tequila when using a bottled margarita mix, so buy blanco swill. It will be cheaper and have fewer secondary flavors that come from aging.
And mixto tequila will be fine, you don't need to get 100% agave.
A mojito is made with rum, not tequila.
Even though you said you don't want to hear it, don't buy the mix. A proper margarita is tequila, lime juice, triple sec, and simple syrup. You don't need whatever else comes in the mix. It is stupid to buy it.
All tequila is 100% agave. It is called something else, otherwise. If you're mixing, you're better off using blanco. It is unaged, and clear (no caramel coloring / flavoring added).

Cheap alcohol can lead to more hangover affects the next day.
There's no real evidence to support that.
1) The biggest thing is that there is often little to no correlation between manufacturing and pricing. Liquor prices are completely artificial, especially with high end liquors like Grey Goose and Patron that are just garden variety cheap crap with really great marketing. The ingredients and manufacturing process in that stuff is no better (and often worse) than the ingredients and manufacturing used in brands that cost 1/5th the price. Super-premium liquors, especially super-premium "white" liquors like vokda, gin and tequila, are a scam.
2) With wine, tannins are a known hangover cause and are highest in wines that are formulated to be aged. And wines that are heavily aged are usually on the higher end of the pricing spectrum which means that heavily aged, very expensive reds can cause worse hangover than cheaper wines.
3) To a lesser degree, the same can be said about dark liquors which tend to rise in price the more they're aged and the more time they spend in the barrel the better the chance to pick up impurities which supposedly intensify hangovers.
The real truth is that vodka and gin are better than dark liquors and dark liquors are better than dark wines. Ideally, the lowest hangover would be with really well filtered and well distilled vodka. But there's no way to tie that to the price tag of the vodka, more expensive most assuredly does NOT mean that it's purer, distilled better or made with higher quality ingredients. With some dark liquors and especially with red wines more expensive could be worse than medium priced. And they all cause hangovers. If you want to minimize the pain the next morning, watching price tags is not the way to do it. Drink less, eat a big fatty meal before drinking, alternate booze with water, etc.
