Ingredients

  • ice as needed
  • 2 ounces 100% blue agave blanco (silver) tequila like Casamigos, Patron, or Don Julio
  • ½ to 1 whole lime juiced
  • Topo Chico Sparkling Mineral Water as needed to fill your glass

Optional (For Variations)

  • cranberry juice, lemons

Instructions

Classic Texas Ranch Water

  • Fill your glass about halfway with ice (I like to use a tall skinny high ball glass) and add up to 2 ounces of tequila. Squeeze in the lime juice and then top it off with Topo Chico. Stir with a long spoon and garnish with fresh lime slices.

Cranberry Ranch Water

  • Make as directed and after stirring, add a dash of cranberry juice - just enough to add a little color.

Lemon Ranch Water

  • Substitute lemon juice for the lime and garnish with lemon slices.

Lemon Lime Ranch Water

  • Make as directed but add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Garnish with a slice of lemon and lime.
