A ranch water is a very refreshing cocktail, perfect for the warmer months! If you like tequila and Topo Chico then this drink will be perfect for you. This is a classic cocktail that is easy to make to your liking! With that, this is my ranch water recipe!
A ranch water is a strong, and delicious cocktail. It is more of a bitter drink, however, it is easy to add other flavors to it that sweeten the flavor. The tequila is the base of the cocktail and it’s important to use a white (blanco) tequila. Topo Chico adds a level of bubbles that help the drink feel more like a refreshing soda. Lime juice (or whatever juice you want) adds a crisp, refreshing flavor! Add Tajin for more spice or salt for more of a tangy taste!
