Looking for cheapish tequila etc for cocktails, which does best?
Jose Cuervo is my go to and is usually £17 - £20 a bottle. Sierra can be had cheaper at around £15 per bottle. Never seen it in Aldi or Lidl.
cheap tequila is like most cheap spirits, rank.
Best high street selection I have seen is Waitrose. Something like a Herradura.
If it's just for people to do shots of at a party then Jose Cuervo.

+1. Herradura good, El Jimador Reposado very nice too.
Last night we were drinking Lidl gin and it is very good (£10). Not tried their tequila but would not dismiss their booze out of hand.
Hmmmm.. yes! Typically snooty responses! Woo!
It's for cocktails? It really, surely doesn't matter what 'class' of tequila you put in there, unless you happen to be a pretentiously moustache-waxed 'mixologist' in a waist-coat.. Perhaps these STWers are? Hmmm.. 😕
Aldi's quite excellent for quality booze a cheep prices.
You can have my 1/4 drunk bottle for free though. Was given it at a house warming party - and has sat untouched in a cupboard for the last 3 years.. Rank stuff. Collect from Oxford area.. 😉

Gets my vote. I err towards the cheapest for cocktails so long as I'm still getting good %alcohol/pound. I've only had one bad enough to regret and can't remember what it was. Aldi or Lidl, just try em and see.

I'd be careful about dissing "mixologists" on here.
It did not go well the the last time.... 😉

it depends on the cocktail.
Some drinks you will notice a good spirit. Some you won't.
Let's put it another way, if its drink were you will really taste he tequila and it's just for you then spend the extra. If it's something where the tequila is just a small part of it and there is plenty else going on and it's for general use then give Aldi or Lidl a shot. Chances are they will be a lot better than some lower prices brands from other supermarkets.
