As the late, great comedian George Carlin once said, "One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor."
It's an apt summary for a liquor that has claimed a number of victims by way of ruthless hangovers. And while the folks at UnderTheLabel don't recommend drinking to excess, it's sometimes acceptable to let your hair down once in a while for a holiday or special occasion.
Using data from historical and recent San Francisco World Spirits competitions, ratings and reviews from Wine Enthusiast Magazine and reviews from Tequila.net, UnderTheLabel found the best tequilas under $25.
We'll rank the list by Smart Rating — an average of rankings from the San Francisco World Spirits competitions, Wine Enthusiast Magazine and Tequila.net.
In the event of a tie, the lower priced tequila is ranked higher (if still tied after that, tequilas will be listed alphabetically).
Information accurate as of May 2017.
