I'm in a pinch. Tomorrow I'm supposed to fix up some cocktails but the preferred Tequila Cabeza is no where to be found in my local area. I really don't want to cop out and get Cuervo. I need a widely available (we have a decent liquor store here, no Cabeza though) Tequila Blanco that is comparable to Tequila Cabeza that I can use as a replacement, and I am hoping some of you can enlighten me.

I don't know a ton about Tequila, and I am not familiar with the brand you mention. I'd say though, the most important thing is that you get a 100% agave Tequila and make sure it has a Nom#. Standard Cuervo sliver is not 100% agave but rather a mixto(added sugar).

I enjoy Don Julio, Herradura and Corralejos.

 

Btw, what cocktail(s) are you making with it?

 

*I jsut noticed a few threads below is an "All about Tequila" topic.

That distillery (NOM 1414) seems to make a number of products but don't know how available they are or if they would be exactly the same.

 

Pura Vida, Siembra Azul, Gran Dovejo, Don Weber (a budget line I think but 100% Agave) are all from NOM 1414.
