Ranch Water

West Texas minimalism: blanco, lime, and Topo Chico. Nothing to hide behind, which is exactly why bottle choice matters.

2 oz verified pure blanco tequila
0.75 oz fresh lime juice
Topo Chico or sparkling mineral water

Panel note

A Verified Pure blanco changes this drink completely. Sweetened tequila reads as syrup here; a clean spirit reads as agave.
