Looks like i am in charge of getting drinks for daughters wedding. They have a magarita machine rented. Anyond have any suggestions for mid priced tequila? I don't think makes sense to spend too much. Maybe it really does not matter.

dont buy super cheap mixtos that are around $10. dont buy the popular jose cuervo especial (it tastes like acetone). buy espolon, olmeca altos, el jimador, agavales, and hornitos. they are all $18-25 range and 100% agave. they are perfectly fine for margaritas. dont waste money on top shelf stuff for margaritas unless you have an endless budget. I have some nice anejos that I save and drink neat sometimes.

Don't mess around with cheap tequila or mixers
Don Julio and fresh ingredients for mixers.

I’ve always preferred Cuervo gold over any of that high dollar stuff.

Lunazul silver makes a really good margarita. I'd skip their reposado. The silver is fruitier than most tequila, even by unaged tequila standards, but that's what makes it pop in a margerita.
It's like $30 a handle. I'd save the Don Julio for sipping if it were me.
Do a test run and try it. Pick you up a bottle of something expensive - Julio, Herredura, whatever - and try the two margaritas side by side. I bet that you'll agree that the Lunazul makes a slammin' margerita.

Never, ever buy cheap tequila. It’s like buying cheap toilet paper. Will it get the job done? Yeah, but it’s not worth it.

Sauza 100% Agave Blue Silver Tequila is great for margaritas. It was recommended by Goody Goody and it is now my go to for the rare occasion when we have a margarita. To me makes zero sense to use top shelf booze unless you are going to drink in straight or on the rocks. Just a complete waste of money to use top shelf for any mixers.

Some people are sensitive to cheap tequila (not 100% agave) and might get a really bad headache 24hrs later.
