Tequila -

[RhodaGrits]

I'd like to buy a friend a good bottle of Tequila but other than a not very creative Cuervo Gold, I have no idea what brand to get. Any suggestions for a high quality tequila that can be purchased at most liquor stores?

1. Chinaco

It's affordable for 100% blue agave. Cuervo is mixed with cane alcohol.

6. It's the choice of BartCop

Geez, they should be paying him for the ads.

8. Thanks for the link - I now know enough to pick one intelligently.

I've always loved tequila - even the bad stuff... I can't wait to try out a few of the premium ones.

2. Here are a few my husband likes....

He finds Don Patron a little overrated, but still good. Herradurra (sp?) is good. His favorites to date, however, have been Cabo Wabo and Milagro (and both come in beautiful/interesting bottles, which is always nice when gift-giving). They'll probably run you in the $40 range.

4. Herradura - get the Anejo

It's the official tequila of DU gatherings!

5. As a victim of said tequila, I have to agree!

Good stuff! :9

9. Is this a good one for sipping or just shots?

7. Patron Anejo - there is no substitute.

'bout $60 a bottle.
