As far as good tequila is concerned You can always go with "Jose Cuervo" its a decent mid priced tequila. If your broke like i am most of the time go with "Montezuma Aztec Gold" but be careful its rough stuff. In a little more pricier range there is "Patron" endorsed by all the rappers. Theres "1800" which is excillent and super smooth and finally my favoutrit "Herradura". Heres a little tip ....if you plan on making mixed drinks most of the time go with cuervo...but if you plan on shooting it go with the more expencive types. Also in each of the above brands i mentiond there are two types..."Blanco" which is white and "gold" which is, you guessed it. gold in color. Enjoy...have a shot on me tonight!
cant go wrong with a margarita
1 1/2 oz tequila ( stick with a reposado or anejo)
3 oz. marg mix
3/4 oz cointreau
Milagro, Patron, and Don Diego are three great tequila brands. One way you can drink tequila is just a shot with lime and salt. But, if you're looking for some cocktail recipes using tequila, i'd suggest these drinks...

These are drinks you can make with only tequila and they are really tasty. I hope this helps you out!
Fill your blender half way with crushed ice. Add 1/2 c lime juice, either fresh or bottled, 1/3 c. splenda, 1/4 c. triple sec, and 1/2 c. Jose Cuervo Especial. Blend until smooth. Makes a couple of large margaritas. Run some lime juice around the glass rim and dip in some coarse salt.
All of these answers have been great. The only thing I would add is my favorite margarita which is an Italian Margarita. Basically, take the first person's recipe for a Margarita and add 1/2 to full shot of Amaretto, splash of OJ, and shake. Very sweet, tasty and refreshing on a hot day! And like everyone is saying, use a good tequila. Now I'm thirsty. :-)
My favorite drink is pretty simple: patron, pomegranate juice , squeeze a lime wedge in and stir. use your discretion on juice/tequila ratio depending on how strong you like it, i like mine very strong and i find the pomegranate doesn't mask the tequila like in many other drinks
Corazon silver or Patron silver
Top Shelf Margarita, Rox, Salt:
1 1/2 oz. "top shelf" Tequila
1/2 oz. Cointreau
1/2 oz. Grand Marnier
1/2 oz. Rose's Lime Juice
3 oz. Sour Mix
Rim glass with salt and add a Lime Wheel. Sometimes I just go with an ounce of Cointreau or an ounce of Grand Marnier depending on the customers preference. Or if just making a regular margarita go with regular Triple Sec in replace or the Cointreau/Marnier.
