There are so many tequila brands out there, and its hard to know which ones are actually worth your time and money. A lot of people think that for a brand of tequila to be good, it needs to be expensive or "ultra premium" but that's simply not the case. In this Video I will show you the 3 best budget tequila brands that you should be drinking. These are great tequila brands for under $30!
Tequila is rapidly becoming one of the most popular spirits on the markey and there are tons of brands popping up left right and center.
The Three brands I cover in this video are all incredible brands that are all well worth your money and are all additive free. Olmeca Altos tequila is an amazing budget tequila and has a clean delicious agave flavor that is incredible. El Tequileño is an awesome brand making some amazing tequila and their entry level Blanco Tequila is of incredible quality and value. Arette tequila is my current favorite budget or affordable tequila and it's the one i use at my bar and restaurant for all tequila cocktails!
These are the three best tequila brands 2022 for under $30.

Believe it or not I learned about the Arette brand from watching Moonshiners. One of the guys went to Mexico to learn about Tequila and Mezcal. And the first stop was the El Llano distillery in the town of Tequila. I still have yet to try the one mentioned in this video but it’s definitely worth trying.

@jehminjung89 Год назад

Hello gentlemen, is it just me or.... does cimarron taste wierd ? Upon my first sip i was hit with this earthy flavor i couldnt describe. It was different from any tequila iv ever tasted. It has a higher score on tequila match maker than arette. However i didnt like the flavor. I put it down for a few weeks but ran out of other things and came back to it. Upon trying it again the flavor was strange but the more i drank it, the earthy notes started tasting like floral notes almost like this tequila called LALO but more pungent with the cimmaron. I have mixed feelings about this one. Drank this room temp sipping or in shots.

I get Altos Reposado for $19.95 in a small liquor store in San Diego and it is amazing for the price. I prefer it to casa amigoes and clase Azul. Another great sippin tequila is Centenario Anejo. $26.00 in Costo (on special).

@lrvogt1257 8 месяцев назад

Arette has been my go to for awhile now. I like it better than more expensive quality brands. Question for you... What's your personal preference for and orange liqueur with Arette for margaritas? I've tried Clément Créole Shrubb, Cointreau, and Grand Marnier. I found that the first two create a bit of a sharp edge with Arette and prefer Grand Marnier with it. I think it's darker tone smooths out the mix better... I also have a blend of Grand Marnier and Clément that works pretty well. What do you prefer?

@MrRob8349 3 дня назад

I stumbled onto Olmeca at Meijer years ago and can comfirm its VERY good. Unfortunately I can't find it there anymore, just like my local Kroger stopped carrying cane-sugar-based grenadine syrup (I'll have to make my own since I have too much self respect to use Rose's with HFCS and fake flavors). As soon as Kroger finds out you like something, they immediately stop carrying it and replace it with a really cheap substitute

@jehminjung89 Год назад

I tried all the tequilas you recomended. After awhile all of them start tasting the same and your splitting hairs unless its the first drink of the day. Arrette was smoothest but i had a different lot which was a bit more earthy.Meaning the flavors change between lots? $25 1L. Olmeca altos was 26.99 750ml i like this after arette. This tequila also has the nicest cap. The arrete bottle cap is so bad it doesnt stay tight and free spins, leading me to drink more of it faster. The el tequileno was ok but had a bit more alcohol notes and not as smooth at the other two. $20 750ml. Not bad tho. The cimmaron 1L $26. This one is interesting it had the earthiest taste. You will either gag or learn to embrace that earthy flavor. It tastes like a floral note after awhile. This tequila was the most memorable for me, its flavor profile was the most distinguishable. These were all rated 80+ on tequila match maker. Another one i drank before was lunazul $34 1.75L . Its rated high 70s on tmm its not as nice as the others above but if your drinking alot on the cheap it works. Plus you only appreciate the first few shots and after while one might stop caring what things taste like. I didnt particularly like the cimarron so i blended it with some other tequila in small amounts and it created some interesting blends. I think one could mimic a nicer tequila if you blend the right amount of cimarron to arette. Hint would be just a splash of cimmaron bc its very over powering

@stefantopuzov6140 Год назад

Funny, I was watching the video and thinking of dropping a comment how Cimmaron is another one that is worth checking out. It's a bit more expensive but it's 1 liter bottles, not 700 ml, so per volume it's a pretty good deal. And it's great, 100% agave and all. Cheers!

@Lui_Fern Год назад

Cheers friend! Haha that is wicked funny. Happy you thought of Cimmaron as well! 😁🙏

@Hotlog69 Год назад

Altos is fine for a more "premium" mixer. Though, in general I recommend to people are, Cazadores, Pueblo Viejo, Jimador or Lunazul. I try to steer people away from JC Especial, JC Trad, Sauza and 1800. If someone wants something really cheap that's actually tequila, Mount Alban.

You’re not wrong, but truthfully you can most likely tell if a tequila is additive free by just tasting it. This guy has a lot of experience with tequila so it’s up to you wether you trust his palate or not… also if you pour some tequila on your hand and rub it in like when you’re washing your hands, if your hands become dry afterwards and the tequila maintains it’s consistency it’s most likely additive free, however if your hands become sticky and the tequila starts to feel like syrup, there is most likely additves
