What is a Ranch Water Drink?

Ranch water is a mix of equal parts tequila and water, served as a shot or as a cocktail. It’s a popular drink at parties and bars, where it’s often enjoyed by breaking the ice between strangers who are looking to have fun and get a little tipsy.

This cocktail is a delicious and refreshing drink made with all-natural ingredients. The Ranch Water Recipe is the perfect pick-me-up when you’re feeling like you need a little boost.

It’s pretty simple to make, too—you just need to mix up a few ingredients and you’re good to go! We’ve included our favourite recipe below, as well as some tips on how to make it your own.

There are many variations on this drink, but ours is one of our favourites because it uses fresh ingredients and doesn’t contain any artificial flavouring or colouring. We think it makes for an excellent summer cocktail!

Other Variations of the Ranch Water Recipe

It’s also a brilliant base for adding other flavours, like fruit or a splash of booze. Here are some ways to change up your favourite drink!

Add A Fruit Infusion: If you want to sweeten up your drink, try adding a few slices of fresh citrus or berries to your glass before pouring in the water and ice cubes.

Ranch Water + Fruit Juice: Add 1 cup of your favourite fruit juice to the ingredients list above. You could try orange juice, grapefruit juice, pineapple juice, cranberry juice—whatever you love!

Ranch Water with a kick: Add 1/2 oz. of hot sauce (we recommend Sriracha or Tabasco).

Ranch Water Recipe with Cucumber: This version is similar to the original ranch water recipe but adds a few slices of cucumber to the mix. The cucumber adds extra flavour and makes it more refreshing!

Ranch Water Recipe with Turmeric: Turmeric has been shown to help reduce inflammation and improve digestion, making it a great addition to any health-conscious person’s diet. This variation also replaces half the amount of lemon juice with turmeric juice for an added boost of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties.

Ranch Water Recipe with a twist: If you like your ranch water recipe with a twist, try adding some jalapeños. This will give your ranch water recipe a spicy kick!

If you’re looking for something a little different, we’d like to recommend Tommy’s margaritas cocktail.

How to Prepare a Frozen Ranch Water Recipe

Frozen ranch water is a delicious, refreshing drink that’s perfect for hot summer’s days. It’s also one of the easiest drinks you can make—it takes just a few minutes and requires only three ingredients.

Step 1: Freeze some water in an ice tray and put it in your freezer. If you have some frozen fruit, pop that in the freezer too.

Step 2: When the water is mostly frozen and there are still a few small chunks left, take out your blender and add your remaining ingredients. You can also use a juicer if you prefer!

Step 3: Blend or juice until smooth and enjoy!

The Best Tequila to Prepare the Ranch Water

There are loads of different types of tequila out there, but the most popular is a blanco (white) or reposado (rested). The blanco is made from agave that has been roasted quickly, whilst Reposado is rested in barrels for up to two months.

But the perfect tequila in this case is a blanco. The reason for this is simple: Blanco or white tequilas like Olmeca Altos Plata have less wood ageing than other types, so they retain more of their natural flavours like citrus. If you use an aged tequila, it’ll be harder to taste the cucumber or other ingredients in your drink—and that’s no fun!

If you’re looking for a drink that’s both refreshing and flavourful, then look no further than ranch water. This delicious drink is made with tequila and lime juice, and it tastes just as good as it sounds. The best part of this recipe? It uses Olmeca Altos as its base! If you want to try making your own ranch water at home then be sure to give this recipe a go today!

Your Questions Answered Ranch Water Recipe: The Unique One

Can I use Altos in cocktails other than Margaritas?

Oh, definitely. Altos levels up everything from Palomas to Tequila Sunrises — even an Old Fashioned if you’re feeling creative. If it’s got a glass, Altos belongs in it.

What’s the difference between Plata, Reposado, and Añejo?

Plata’s fresh and vibrant, Reposado’s smooth with a touch of oak, and Añejo’s rich, deep, and full of character. Three tequilas, three moods — all pure Altos.

Is Altos Tequila made sustainably?

Yep — we’re big on doing things the right way. From recycling agave fibres to reusing water at the distillery, Altos keeps it clean and green. Great tequila, made with a conscience.

What’s the best way to drink Altos Tequila?

However you like it. It’s a knockout in a Margarita or Paloma, but just as good neat if you want to taste that craftsmanship. Whatever the occasion, Altos always brings the good vibes.

What makes Altos Tequila different from other tequilas?

Altos isn’t just another tequila — it’s the real deal. Made from 100% Blue Agave grown high in Jalisco, slow-cooked, copper-distilled, and crafted by bartenders who know their stuff. The result? A tequila that’s smooth, bold, and built for mixing.
