Which tequila is best for a Tequila Sunrise?

If you are mixing it with orange juice I wouldn't worry about buying a quality tequila. I would only buy a quality tequila if I was drinking it straight or only cutting it with minimal mixers.

Too good, a reposado or anejo would be a waste. A tequila sunrise is a sweet drink for people who don't drink, the cheapest blanco requila you can find is more than good enough.

You at least want 100% agave. And 1800 Reposado is not top shelf...

Doesn’t go much cheaper without major pain and suffering from bad distillation. - Read the full review ...

Why? In a tequila sunrise nobody is going to be able to tell the difference between 100% agave and a cheap mixto. It is the height of clueless pretense to order top shelf liquors when you're making kiddie drinks with them.

Wish I could find a video from Three's Company. Mr Furley ordered a scotch with root beer, maraschino cherries and whipped cream and insisted that the scotch had to be 12-years old because a real scotch man wouldn't settle for anything less.

Don Patron in a tequila sunrise = the drinker is an idiot.
Woodford Reserve and coke = the drinker is an idiot.
Dom Perignon in a mimosa = the drinker is an idiot.
200 year old Napoleon brandy in a brandy Alexander = the drinker is an idiot.

You might as well order dry-aged Waygu ribeye and a bottle of A1 to go with it.

Hangover is a real thing. 1800 Reposado is not top shelf...
 
Avoid the mixto crap with food coloring in it! 100% Agave only adds on about $5/bottle.
It can be called tequila if its 51% Agave and 49% grain alcohol - Cuervo Gold fits this.

Cuervo Tradicional, Hornitos, Milagro, 1800, Gran Centanrio are all great and under $20/bottle.

Blanco or Silver - clear tequila that is unaged goes best in blended drinks.

Don't forget the Grand Marnier or other Orange liquer for the floater.
