Best Tequila for Margarita - from
$100 and Up to Under $50
Let’s go! Here’s our list. We hope you’re inspired to pick up a bottle and get crafty with what some would argue is the best cocktail on planet Earth. We’re not putting up a fight on that one. Especially today as we honor the Tequila Queen herself. We love ya, Margarita! Your salty rim makes the world go ‘round.
Pro tip:
Store-bought Margarita mixes are pretty basic. They’ll work in a pinch if you really need them. But for top-notch craft cocktails, do it right, y’all. Fresh juice, real liqueur, and fine tequila. Don’t be basic. Be magical.
1) Grand Mayan Ultra Aged - $100 and Above

We’re not gonna
lie. Grand Mayan Ultra Aged Tequila is everything and then some. We’d put it in
the sipping tequila category any day. It’s dark and rich, and it’ll make one
hell of a margarita, too. If you’re looking to craft an unforgettable cocktail,
here’s your chance.

We bet you’ve
heard of this one. It’s pleasant, versatile, and perfect for National Margarita
Day cocktails. It’s super approachable, and you can pick it up at your local
liquor store pretty easily. Note that those who enjoy old-world margaritas
might insist on something with some age and oak. But if you’re serving a
thirsty, rowdy crowd, they’re gonna dig it. Trust us.
