10 best cheap tequilas under $30 for mixing into drinks or enjoying straight

Sarah Ceniceros

To know tequila is to love it, but sometimes you’re looking for a budget-friendly bottle that tastes pretty similar to the really good stuff. There’s nothing wrong with a cheaper bottle of the liquor if you need it for mixing drinks or want to take shots of it (after it’s been chilled, of course). And knowing that you are balling on a budget, it’s best to invest in a bottle of tequila that will work the best for however you are consuming it. Sipping it over the rocks? Mixing it into a paloma or margarita? Taking shots? Doing all of the above? We have got a tequila bottle that fit all those requirements and more.

Knowing what is worth your dollars can be a challenge, but these bottles are all under $30 and don’t lack in the flavor department. Trust. The only other thing you need is salt and limes.
