Notes

  1. Tequila: The best teqila for Ranch Water is blanco tequila (aka silver tequila). Everyone has thier favorite brand, I've listed mine in the post. Whichever kind you choose, make sure it says 100% agave on the lable.
  2. Mineral Water: This cocktail is classically made with Topo Chico mineral water but feel free to use your favorite sparkling or mineral water.
  3. Rimming the glass: This is optional but I like the spicy kick rimming the glass with Tajín gives.
