“Fortaleza, hands down. I always like a nice balance of creamy and grass notes of a lowlands tequila with the crisp tart of lemon and sweet. The combination makes for a wonderfully diverse and keeps you ordering more.” – Spencer Elliott, head bartender at The Boogie Room in New York City

“I love a younger Patrón Reposado because it’s picked up those beautiful vanillins from the barrel but hasn’t aged so much that it can’t be used in a cocktail.” – Mariel Burns, head bartender at Trademark Taste + Grind in New York City

“My favorite budget rum is a one-way JetBlue flight to Puerto Rico and a shot of Three Star (Ron De Barrilito Tres Estrellas). You can find this rum stateside, but, for a few bucks a shot, it’s well worth the flight and the inevitable sunburn.”

Infuse Your Tequila
“One easy way to upgrade your average margarita is to infuse your tequila!” says Will Benedetto, director of bars at In Good Company Hospitality, a restaurant group based in New York City. “This adds an extra depth of flavor and richness to the already delicious cocktail. At The Wilson for our Garden Margarita, we infuse our tequila with avocado. We use discarded pits and skins from the kitchen and soak them in tequila for 24 hours so the trademark avocado flavor melds with the liquor.”
