What's a good mid-range tequila?

[slingshot]

Funny.  I went into my local liquor store and asked the very same question.  I ended up with Jose Quervo Traditional; limited edition whatever that means.  A bottle of liquor will often last me years, but generally not tequila.  I have scotch that I have had on the shelf for 20 years and it was already 15 year old scotch.  I have to say though, I enjoy sipping on a margarita and love the flavor.  I am probably a candidate for an upgrade since I use so little.

Sauza makes some very good tequilas.

I like Sauza gold (the cheap one) for mixings. Hornitos is a little more but very good for it's price. They make some really good ones that are more expensive but are great straight up.

what is this "moderation" you speak of?!?

A thing you learn from having too many tequila stories.  And 3 day hangovers.

I'll be giving that a try. I bought some Tangeray a while back for Gin and Tonics and it wasn't so good. I used to really like it, but maybe since I haven't drank at all in about 7 years (one of my medications just didn't mix well with alcohol, now I'm off of it,yay!)  my tastes have changed a bit.

The original margarita is made from tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice. Very different from the drink served in most bars and restaurants and, to my taste, vastly superior.  Give it a try.

For sweet and sour drink like a margarita, I think you're better off upgrading the mixers rather than the liquor.  Get the next-to-the-cheapest tequila they have, and use real limes instead of a jug of m-mix.
