Ranch Water If you've never been to Texas then bear with me here. This local favorite is less hidden valley and more hidden gem. Ranch water is a simple mix of Blanco tequila, lime juice, and soda water. The refreshing highball should be your new go-to for patio drinking this summer, especially if you've ever said the words "skinny marg" and been serious.
I suggest using a respectable 100% agave tequila like Olmeca Altos or Espolon as they're both affordable and authentic. Most Texans will also tell you that you've got to use Topo Chico for your soda water. Finally, I like to add just a bit of sweetness to mine with a bar spoon of lime oleo sacchrum, but purists would protest that. This one is 60ml @olmecatequila Altos Blanco 15 ml fresh lime juice 1 scant barspoon lime oleo top with @topochicousa garnish with a lime wheel or wedge. Salted rim optional.
