Best Tequilas for Margaritas 2025

Total Wine/Reservebar

We love the combination of both in drinks.

For tequila we haveCodigo 1530 Blanco, and the mezcal isLos Siete Misterios Doba-Yej Mezcal.

Codigo has that rich, vegetal tequila flavor you want with no additives.

The Siete Misterios is punchy with a real earthy touch of smokey and fruity goodness.

Having both tequila and mezcal in a margarita is a personal preference.

I like using it because its an all-rounder bang out of tequila.

I love the iconic peppery finish it has.

The agave pros will appreciate it, and it wont alienate the less adventurous palates either.
