In her ranking of the best tequila mixers, Chowhound's Sarah Vallie credits the mild sweetness and tart, citrusy undercurrents of orange juice for its number one spot on the list.

She adds that OJ’s bright but nuanced notes go well with the floral-tinted kick of tequila. Semi-sour and semi-sweet, OJ does make for a refreshing and uplifting tequila cocktail.

For the best OJ-kissed tequila drink, opt for fresh-squeezed varieties. Those with added sugar can taste cloying and distract from the naturally vivid taste of whole oranges.

A two-part blend of OJ and tequila poured over ice makes for a great cocktail, but you can also enjoy them in drinks like a margarita, tequila sunrise, tequila sunset, and mimosa.
