Ranch Water Drink Recipe

 Southern Living  came out with an article on May 19th, 2025 stating "Meet your new favorite cocktail".

I hate to tell them, but it's been mine for a year and a half now.  Glad they've caught up. 

Here's my version of Ranch Water.

Ingredients:

1 ounce your favorite tequila

3/4 ounce lime juice (fresh squeezed lime is best)

4 ounces of seltzer water

ice

Directions:

Fill tall glass with ice.

Add tequila, lime juice and seltzer water, in that order.

Stir lightly.

I usually use the Polar brand of seltzer water.  However, I was only a few cents shy of getting free shipping on Amazon, so I added this 1L bottle of Happy Belly Seltzer Sparkling water.  It is so bubbly, it's great!

Back to Southern Living, and their "Best Texas Ranch Water" recipe.

Ingredients

• 3 oz. blanco tequila, such as Espolon or Casamigos (about 2 shots)

• 1 1/2 oz. fresh lime juice (about 1 shot)

• Topo Chico, chilled

• Fresh lime wedge for garnish

Directions

1. Add ice to glass:

   Fill a rocks glass with ice—really, whatever glass you have on hand is fine.

2. Add tequila and juice:

   Add tequila and fresh lime juice to glass with ice.

3. Add sparkling water:

   Top with Topo Chico. Add fresh lime wedge to the rim of the glass. Enjoy!

4. As you notice, it's pretty close to the way I've made it with a little more tequila. 

5. Enjoy and please remember to drink responsibly!
