According to the Distilled Spirits Council, Americans purchased 17.2 million 9-liter cases of tequila in 2017, and exports from Mexico to the U.S. increased nearly 200 percent in the last 10 years. Ultra-high-end brands like Patrón and Casa Noble are leading this growth — some offering bottles priced in the thousands — but there are plenty of affordable alternatives that rival even the most luxury brands.

VinePair tasted more than 60 tequila brands to sort out the good, the great, the great-for-the-price, and beyond. Here are the best tequilas for less than $25. To see the full list for the best tequilas under $50 or $100, click here.

JOSE CUERVO TRADICIONAL

A solid option, Jose Cuervo’s Tradicional Plata (silver) has an herbal nose with notes of sage and pine. Its flavors are earthy and sweet, with a savory, peppery finish. This light and easy tequila shows great potential as an affordable mixer. Average price: $19.

CAMARENA REPOSADO

Rarely will you find a reposado under $25, especially one this delicious. It pours a pale wheat color with sweet aromas of cooked agave, vanilla, brown sugar, honey, and shortbread. It’s medium-bodied and silky on the palate, with a richness that smooths out the tequila’s heat, gently leading to a spicy finish. Its impressive packaging — an etched glass bottle with a wooden cap – doesn’t hurt, either. Average price: $19.

BRIBON BLANCO

Created by Palm Bay in partnership with Casa Don Roberto, this bottle has unusual aromas of fresh water and wet rock, a silky body, and a tingly spiciness on the palate. There is also a touch of sweetness hinting at tropical fruit. Average price: $21.

MI CAMPO BLANCO

This blanco gets its straw-colored hue from resting briefly in wine barrels, which also imparts fruity, funky notes on the nose — akin to sweet ricotta cheese in a canoli — followed by strawberry jam flavors on the palate. It’s smooth and creamy, finishing with tropical notes of pineapple and coconut. Average price: $22.

CAZADORES TEQUILA BLANCO

Light and herbal on the nose, with notes of basil and mint, this tequila has caramel sweetness on the palate. Round, sweet, and smooth, this is a great blanco for mixing or sipping, with a warm, spicy finish. Average price: $23.

MILAGRO SILVER

Fresh, floral flavors and a soft mouthfeel make this silver tequila easy to love. Its sweet agave notes are balanced by a spicy finish that burns the upper palate and lips with peppery heat. We could especially see this working in brunch cocktails like a Bloody Maria or Spicy Watermelon Margarita. Average price: $23.
