With Summer on its way in it is once again time for refreshingly delicious Mexican fare… including MARGARITAS!!!
Now my sole use for tequila is blended Margaritas (fresh lime - sometimes orange, triple sec, and lots of ice), so spending a lot on a Blanco tequila has never seemed all that necessary.
So what’s your vote for the best cheap Blanco?
Thanks, unfortunately I don’t have access to Costco, plus their silver did not rate high on Tasting Table.
Last year I tried el Jimador and Hornitos which are rated higher, but neither impressed me.
Based on that TT list, I am considering Espolòn as I can usually find a 1.75L bottle for under 40 bucks. Anybody tried it?
Hmmmm. I’m not a tequila aficionado by any means and only mix it in margaritas and bloody marias, so I go for price I guess. Now that I’ve seen that review I DO recall tasting lots of alcohol with it. Have to check out some others. Just hate spending much more to mix it.
Me too. I am almost embarrassed to admit I have used Cuervo Silver to do margaritas. While it is not even real tequila, they have some tricks (sugar cane, etc.) that works pretty well in a blended margarita. Just looking for something better, and what I’ve tried so far has been disappointing.
My brother luvs tequila, does it straight, and I have spent hundreds sending him fine Anejos and Cristalinos for birthdays/holidays… but they’re way over the top for a margarita, maria, or sunrise… hence this post. (c;
Milagro Silver is my go-to for margaritas. Total Wine has it for $20.

My favorite was Olmeca Altos but they raised the price so much my liquor store quite stocking it. I switched to Camarena, California price should be around $36 for a 1.75L.
Wild Common Blanco Still Strength
$70 for 750ml is “cheap”??
I mix cocktails with Lunazul.
We bought up many of these the last time we were in CA. A real investment, but so worth it and oh, so smooth!
