TEQUILA FACTS
If you ask for a Cuervo Gold Margarita, the bartender will know that you don't know anything about Tequila. The four Tequila types are: Blanco. Joven, Reposado, and Añejo. Blanco comes straight out of the still and into the bottle. It's also called silver or white. Joven is just a blanco that has had fake coloring added to it to make it look gold (like Cuervo Gold). Reposados and Añejo's have been aged. If you want a great tasting Margarita then I suggest that you use a silver/blanco or reposado Tequila that is made 100% from the blue agave plant. It will say so on front label.
The smooth and aged Tequilas like an Añejo or the ultra aged and filtered do not make a great Margarita. You need that "bite" of the blanco/silver/white or reposado.
