It is up to you, of course. Most daiquiris will require rum and most people choose to buy Bacardi because it is the most popular brand. This will meet most anyone's needs when rum is required. When it comes to tequila (for margaritas), we recommend using a 100% agave tequila. It just tastes better than other "blended" tequilas. There are many brands and some are quite expensive. If you are a member of Costco or Sam's Club, we recommend buying the store brand at either of these. Their tequila is very affordable and surprisingly good. If you do not shop at Costco or Sam's, Camarena is another very good 100% agave tequila which isn't too expensive. Call us for more details.
