Make this

Ranch Water

Cold, tart and deliberately uncomplicated. This is the drink for a hot afternoon when sweetness would only get in the way.

3 minutes 1 servingEasy
A tall lime drink with sparkling water and plenty of ice

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces blanco tequila
  • 1 ounce fresh lime juice
  • 4 to 6 ounces chilled sparkling mineral water
  • Lime wheel or wedge

Instructions

  1. Fill a tall glass completely with ice.
  2. Add tequila and lime juice, then top with mineral water.
  3. Stir briefly and garnish with lime.

Make it yours

For a polished zero-proof version, omit the tequila and add 1 ounce fresh orange juice plus a small pinch of salt before topping with mineral water.

Suggested occasion

Tailgates, patios, cookouts and any afternoon that calls for something tall and cold.
