Texas Ranch Water for a summertime refreshment!

Texas Ranch Water

If you’re looking for a light and fresh cocktail, then this is your drink! Texas Ranch Water brings together our favorite spirit, Tequila, with Topo Chico Sparkling Water and fresh lime for an easy, breezy cocktail tailor-made for summer (or really any time of year)!

It’s thought that this cocktail originated in West Texas as a summer “Porch Pounder” for men working cattle in the hot summer sun.

Think of it as a zestier vodka and soda or a less sweet Margarita. Whatever your taste, this cocktail is perfect any time.

Just fill a glass with ice, add a good tequila, and top off with Topo Chico and a squeeze or two of fresh lime – it goes down oh so easy!

If you want to try some variations, consider one of these ideas:

  • If you prefer a little sweeter drink, add a tablespoon of agave. Your drink will taste more like a Margarita.
  • For some spice, add a couple of slices of fresh jalapeno. And to make it really spicy, muddle the jalapeno in your glass before making the cocktail.
  • Add some fresh mint or basil to pump up the herbaceousness.
  • Try a Cadillac Ranch Water by adding a splash of Grand Marnier.
  • Try it with Lime Flavored Topo Chico Sparkling Water for more flavor.
  • Use fresh grapefruit or melon instead of lime to mix up the flavor – or try all three together.

Here are a couple of tips for the best Texas Ranch Water:

  • Make sure the Topo Chico is ice cold before adding it to your cocktail.
  • Be sure to use fresh lime juice.
  • Remember, this refreshing drink goes down easy – be sure to drink responsibly.
