Most expressions clock in at zero or near-zero carbs and around 95\u2013100 calories per 1.5oz shot, which means the differentiator is rarely macros \u2014 it&#8217;s quality, distillation, and what the bottle adds to the glass beyond ABV.<\/p>\n<p>We track <strong>94 tequilas<\/strong> in the <a href=\"https:\/\/drinkleader.com\/drink-type\/tequila\">DrinkLeader catalog<\/a>. The list below is the top-10 score-ranked picks with brand diversity enforced (max two bottles per producer) so it reads as a buyable shortlist. For the full live ranking, see <a href=\"https:\/\/drinkleader.com\/best-tequila-drinks\">Best Tequila Drinks<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-drinkleader-scores-tequila\">How DrinkLeader scores tequila<\/h2>\n<p>Spirit scores reward usable ABV in a sensible serving size and penalize carb load. Since most tequila comes in at zero carbs, the spread between the picks below is driven by efficiency \u2014 the same factor that ranks a 40% sipping reposado higher than a watered-down 30% liqueur. Highest scores tend to cluster around clean, well-distilled blanco and reposado expressions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"dl-pick\" style=\"display:flex;gap:1.25rem;align-items:flex-start;margin:2rem 0;padding:1rem;border:1px solid #e5e7eb;border-radius:10px;background:#fafafa;\">\n<div style=\"flex:0 0 140px;text-align:center;\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/drinkleader.com\/static\/uploads\/auto_Bing_Casa_Amigos_Blanco_3144.jpg\" alt=\"Casa Amigos Blanco\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:140px;max-height:180px;object-fit:contain;\">\n  <\/div>\n<div style=\"flex:1;\">\n<h3 style=\"margin:0 0 .35rem 0;\">1.
