Monte Alban Tequila Silver

62 SCORE

“Honestly pretty gnarly. Bargain priced for 100% blue agave, but it has a pretty unpleasant taste. Definitely best used as a mixer with flavorful juices or something - it made my ranch waters kinda nasty. Can’t recommend it unless you need something dirt cheap for a tequila sunrise or something”

Espolon Blanco

85 SCORE

“Extremely good tequila for the price - probably the best I’ve tried so far. Super smooth with a nice well rounded flavor that mixes well. Very little bite. My only complaint is that it’s about 20% too expensive for me to drink more often, but it’s absolutely worth the price ”

Teremana Tequila Blanco

72 SCORE

“A little unremarkable flavor wise, but otherwise pretty decent. Very smooth as a shooter, and even my non-tequila drinking girlfriend liked it. Thanks Dwayne! Since using it as a mixer, it took on a strange, almost chocolatey sort of flavor? Not ideal for my usual drinks but a decent shooter overall, probably won’t be buying again ”

Cazadores Tequila Blanco

71 SCORE

“Liked this one a lot more than I thought I would going off the other ratings. Really rough strong alcohol smell but a surprisingly clean (if a little medicinal) taste when mixed. Not the best you can get around $20/bottle, but it’s a strong choice for a mixer in my book”

El Jimador Blanco Tequila

63 SCORE

“Surprisingly mellow smell outside of the strong alcohol, but a very peppery flavor and not much else. Could do worse for a mixing tequila, but you could also do a whole lot better. Not even close to dethroning Lunazul as my go to bottle under $25 though. ”

Hacienda Vieja Reposado

64 SCORE

“Not typically big on reposados but thought I’d try it. Definitely wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. Really prominent alcohol smell and taste that stood out in mixed drinks, although it had a relatively smooth finish (I assume because of the aging). Had way too much pepper for my personal taste and, when used as a mixer, didn’t really complement anything especially well. I found a box set for $23 with 2 engraved shot glasses and decided to try it, so in my specific circumstance it was a good value. Worth trying, but I won’t buy again.”

1800 Silver

70 SCORE

“Fine enough for a middle-shelf and readily available bottle. Tastes better than it smells, and it mixes decently. Probably won’t be buying again, but for grabbing it on sale at $24, it’s decent”

Juarez Tequila Silver

33 SCORE

“Truly gross stuff, but it got me through college. I guess there’s probably worse out there, since it seems to be a staple of (cheap) Mexican restaurant margaritas and tequila sunrises with this are typically semi drinkable. Only recommended if you absolutely need a handle for $20 for whatever reason.”

Astral Tequila Blanco

66 SCORE

“Bought as my first 100% agave, basically because I just wanted some tequila for the first time in a while and decided to ball out for a birthday (it was $23, lol). I remember it being somewhat harsh, with more pepper than I prefer. Not terrible, but there are much better options in the price range. Probably won’t buy it again, but it was the first one to make me realize that I actually like this stuff. Cool bottle though!”

Sauza Hacienda Gold Tequila

51 SCORE

“Not good - mistakenly bought it to mix with pineapple juice not realizing it was a mixto. Gave me the gnarliest hangover and weirdly made the juice taste like bananas? Not the worst I’ve ever had, but I definitely won’t be buying it again and would strongly advocate for spending a little more on something tastier.”

Solana Tequila Silver

69 SCORE

“A surprisingly solid mixing tequila from Walmart - on par price-wise with the other cheapest 100% agave options at my local store. Overall unremarkable flavor but very little wrong with it, definitely a good option on the cheap. My gateway to better tequila after I got burned on some cheap sauza!”

Milagro Silver

76 SCORE

“A pretty nice mixing tequila for the price - very smooth without much bite and definitely a good value for $25. A little unremarkable but overall pretty solid. Gotta give it some points for the cool bottle too, really classes up the home bar!”

Lunazul Blanco

80 SCORE

“My favorite mixing tequila - it’s affordable, fairly smooth, and blends really well in most cocktails. Especially in a margarita or ranch water, this is a great one for the price”
