Ranch Water Cocktail

Share on social media

Ranch Water is a cocktail from Texas, which I hadn’t heard of until more recently, even though it was believed to be created in the 1960s by a rancher. There are lots of seltzer versions on the market, but we prefer to make our own Ranch Water Cocktail with all of the fresh ingredients. Just 3 ingredients are needed- tequila, limes/lime juice, and Topo Chico! Let’s talk about how to make this cocktail.

Ranch Water Ingredients

To make this cocktail you just need the 3 ingredients- 1 1/2 oz. of tequila, 1 1/2 oz. fresh squeezed lime juice, and Topo Chico, or other soda water or seltzer, to finish.

For garnish, you can use margarita salt, or whatever coarse salt you have on hand, and fresh lime wedges.

You’ll also need ice!

This drink is so easy to put together, here’s how-

Ranch Water Cocktail Recipe

• Start by rimming the glass. To do this, just run a lime wedge along the edge of your glass and dip it into your margarita or other coarse salt. If needed, you can add a shallow layer to a saucer for dipping.

• Next, fill your glass with a good sized handful of ice.

• Add the tequila and lime juice to your glass.

• Fill the rest of the way with Topo Chico.

Garnish with fresh lime wedges, and enjoy!
