What is Ranch Water?

I heard about this drink called “ranch water” from a friend a few weeks ago. She mentioned it was tequila-based so I initially was skeptical and wouldn’t like it since I don’t do tequila drinks, shots, etc. The taste reminds me of a skinny margarita and ended up really liking it.

I wanted to recreate this drink at home, but change it up to add a little kick of spice with jalapeños and chili salt. I’ll show you guys which ingredients I used below. Here is the jigger and shaker I used to make the drink as well. I hope you guys like it!

NOTE: For a spicier kick: shake the jalapenos with the tequila, pour into your glass, then top with the Topo Chico and stir.
