Top 5 tequilas for National Tequila Day tomorrow

So many tequilas, so little time...

​Tomorrow is National Tequila Day! There is so much to celebrate, from the Eagle's "Tequila Sunrise" to belly shots to lost weekends. To help you celebrate, we asked a bartender at the tequila bar Barrio about the Top 5 bottles the restaurant serves most, along with a few other agave-juice facts. We're also passing along the Top 5 tequilas from Tequila.net, home to super tequila geeks.

Eduardo, the bartender at Barrio Tequila Bar in Minneapolis , serves more than 100 kinds of tequila. He answered a few of our tequila-related questions:

What is the most popular tequila at Barrio?
That would be between Maestro Dobel, Milagro, Cazadores, Hussong's, and 1942 Don Julio.

What should a person look for in a tequila?
It depends on your taste--some taste peppery, like chocolate, or cocoa. It is all about what you like.

What is the most popular mixed drink you serve with tequila?
Enter the Dragon, made with passion fruit, muddled pepper, and cava.

For true connoisseurs, we thought we'd also pass along the Top 5 tequilas from the editors of Tequila.net, with their comments:
