What is Texas Ranch Water

The origin of the Texas ranch water cocktail is a bit of a mystery, but there are two theories.

One theory suggests that the drink was created by ranch workers in the 1800s who used tequila and seltzer water to stay hydrated in the hot Texas sun.

The other theory suggests that the drink was created by bartenders in the 1970s as a way to make tequila more palatable to American drinkers.

Either way, the Texas ranch water cocktail is a delicious and refreshing summertime drink that is perfect for those who are looking for a low carb option.
