When it comes to refreshment, few drinks can compete with the Ranch Water cocktail.
Ranch Water’s origins can be traced back to West Texas, where it was reportedly first enjoyed by ranchers and cowboys as a way to beat the relentless Texan heat.
The name itself, “Ranch Water,” pays homage to its humble beginnings, as ranchers would often mix this drink using the water from natural springs found on their ranches. Over time, it evolved into a simple, yet incredibly refreshing cocktail that’s now known and loved worldwide.
