COCKTAIL RECIPE
Ranch Water
Ranch Water is a simple and refreshing cocktail made with tequila, fresh lime juice and mineral water. Its light, clean and refreshing character has made it a modern classic especially for hot weather.
Ranch Water is a simple yet characterful cocktail that originated in the American state of Texas. It became especially popular among people working on ranches in West Texas. Cowboys and ranchers working in the hot and arid climate needed a drink that was refreshing but not heavy. The combination of tequila, lime and mineral water answered this need perfectly.
For many years, the cocktail remained more of a local drink. But when bars and restaurants in Texas began adding Ranch Water to their menus in the 2000s, the drink became more widely recognized. Especially the popularization of cocktails with natural and simple ingredients has increased Ranch Water's reputation.
