What is a Ranch Water Cocktail?
This Ranch Water Cocktail was born in the 1960s and people say that it was invented by a Texas rancher the story is that after a long day of work, he refreshed himself with mineral water and lime or lemon but one day it occurred to him to put something stronger and he chose Tequila, he realized that it was an excellent drink and shared it with more ranchers and that is how it became popular in West Texas.

What Tequila to Use
Having experience working in the hospitality industry, I learned that the most expensive brands do not necessarily taste better or are the best! I have always said that the best brand is the one you like the most, however, I recommend a Silver or Reposado Tequila for this cocktail, these are better to be combined in drinks, if you love tequila you should try Classic Margarita it also refreshing and has a different twist on the original recipe like this Spicy Margarita.
Variation of a Ranch Water Cocktail
You can make these magnificent variations that you will love!
Spicy – add a few slices of jalapeño pepper to the cocktail and frost the glass with chili powder (tajin) to enhance the spicy flavor, make sure to remove the seeds so that it is not so spicy!
Pineapple – Add about 1 oz of pineapple juice in it, which will provide a tropical flavor to the cocktail!
