Ranch Water

Name: Ranch Water (Non-Alcoholic)
Yield: 1
Ingredients: 2 oz Almave Blanco; 1 oz lime juice; 7 dashes ATB Orange Cardamom Bitters; Small pinch of salt (optional); 4 oz sparkling water

Simple, crisp, and perfectly refreshing, this non-alcoholic cocktail proves that less is more. Made with Almave Blanco, fresh lime juice, and a healthy dose of our Orange Cardamom bitters, it delivers all the bright, earthy flavor of the classic West Texas drink—no alcohol required. A pinch of salt sharpens the citrus and accentuates the agave, while sparkling water (Topo Chico if you’re feeling traditional) brings the bubbles. It’s the perfect mocktail for hot days and easy sipping.

This recipe was perfected using Almave Blanco, but feel free to use your favorite alcoholic or non-alcoholic blanco tequila instead.

Recipe Note

ABOUT RANCH WATER
A Texas classic that’s all about simplicity—tequila, lime, and mineral water. In this zero proof version, Almave Blanco delivers the same grassy, vegetal agave character without the buzz, making for a light and authentic non-alcoholic Ranch Water mocktail.

WHY ADD SALT?
A small pinch of salt enhances the bright citrus notes and balances any bitterness, making the lime pop and the drink even more refreshing.

SPARKLING WATER MATTERS
Topo Chico’s minerality and fine bubbles are legendary for a reason. It’s the traditional choice for Ranch Water, but any crisp, well-carbonated sparkling water works beautifully. For the purists—make it right in the bottle by taking a swig and adding your ingredients directly in.

BITTERS IN NON-ALCOHOLIC COCKTAILS
Cocktail bitters provide depth and balance, rounding out sweet and sour flavors while adding bite. Since All The Bitter is completely 0% ABV (unlike traditional bitters, which are around 45% alcohol), you can use as much as you like to dial in flavor and complexity without affecting the ABV of your drink.
