So for all those people who are looking for that quintessential summer tipple, it might be worth giving this a go. Ranch Water is where it’s at! This cocktail involves using the blanco tequila, a glass of freshly squeezed lime juice and carbonated mineral water. But that’s not the best thing about it, the best thing is that it could not be easier to make and you can adjust it to your own preference. Tame the sweetness with a dash of simple syrup or orange liquor and boost the taste via the rim of chile-lime salt. Again, Topo Chico is the go-to brand, but by no means limit yourself to it; the best option is out there somewhere. Just put the ice in the highball glass and then the tequila of 2 ounces and lime juice of 1 ounce and then mineral water to the brim. Stir gently , garnish with a lime wedge , and you’ll be having a great time with this drink all through summer .
