Is there a difference in taste between Jose Cuervo and Sauza tequila as far as using it in mixed drinks?

Question

And if so, which is your personal preference?

Answer 1

between those two there isn't much of a difference they are both okTequilas (not the best) but I would prefer Sauza. It mixes very well with Margaritas =)

Answer 2

No... most tequila mixxed drinks you can't really taste it anyway... unless you get a gut-buster bottom-shelf in the cheep plastic container, you won't likely tell much difference in the end-drink.  Its not worth spending the big $$$ on the really fancy ones, and just stay away from the cheep stuff, and you should be good with whatever you get.

Answer 3

far margaritas, either is fine, the good stuff will run about $45 a bottle minimum. i don't drink either of those.

Answer 4

Jose Cuervo is a great tequila - esp for mixing drinks and margaritas! =)

Answer 5

If used with a mix the tequila flavor will be limited.  Both are decent tequilas for margaritas.  If your sipping I wouldn't choose either.  Go with Gran Centurion, Patron, Cabo Wabo or something good.

Answer 6

cuervo is much better. Sauza is what bars use as their house tequila.

sauze makes a good drink, but jose is much much better.

Answer 7

Not really.

In a Margarita there is no noticable taste difference. The mix you choose will affect the flavor more.

I have visited both distilleries and see no noticable difference in thier production methods. They are both colored with caramel (no oak influence on flavor), both made with 51% purchased flatland agave - the minimum to be called Tequila.

I guess I give my vote to Cuervo but only because I love thier "Tradicional" and Platina labels, although the sauza Tres Generaciones is d**n good too.

Answer 8

I personally dont like Sauza....Jose Cuervo is MUCH better! I used Sauza ONCE and got sick...Jose Cuervo is THE WAY TO GO!

Good Luck.

Answer 9

Both are pretty much junk, but for margaritas or tequila sunrise, either will taste the same.  If I only had the choice of the two, I'd go Sauza blanco.
