Ranch Rider Spirits Co
Ranch Rider Spirits Co. has a whole line of canned ranch waters in a whole host of flavors. They have their original lime flavor in addition to jalapeno, passion fruit, and pineapple flavors.
Their ready-to-drink ranch waters are made with reposado tequila, sparkling water, and real lime juice. Their other flavors then add fresh juices from jalapeno, pineapple, or passion fruit, depending on the flavor.
All of them are around 110 calories, 6% alcohol by volume, and low sugar, which is nice, too.
RANCH2O Ranch Water
The RANCH20 has been named the best-canned ranch water by Texas Monthly. It also has over two ounces of real tequila in each can.
This one comes in at a bit higher calorie count, but it also has 7% alcohol by volume. We love the touch of salt this one has, too, as it perfectly compliments the tequila and lime flavors.
Epic Western Ranch Water
Epic Western Ranch Water really is epic. Its 10% alcohol by volume comes from 100% Blue Agave Premium Blanco Tequila, which is sourced from a family of tequileros in Jalisco.
Then, instead of soda water or sparkling water, Epic Western uses mineral water for added depth. Finally, they finish it off with some lime and a dash of salt for good measure.
Take it easy with this one cause it really sneaks up on you!
Cutwater Lime Ranch Water
Cutwate is one of the most popular canned ranch waters. They have really made a name for themselves. And they’re popular for a reason. Cutwater canned ranch water is crisp and delicious.
It’s made with an award-winning tequila, a hint of lime, and soda water. At a mellow 5.9% alcohol by volume, this is easy to sip on all summer.
Hornitos Ranch Water Cocktail
Hornitos, a well-known tequila brand, has its own canned ranch water. It’s made with Real Plata tequila and has a great fresh lime bite.
It is also one of the best-canned ranch waters for those who are watching their sugar intake because it is zero sugar and still 6.5% alcohol by volume.
Texas Ranch Water
Texas Ranch Water, produced by Rancho La Gloria, has two flavors for you to enjoy. The first is the original version, which is flavored with a bit of lime, while the other adds more tartness with an addition of grapefruit. This is another one that uses 100% blue agave tequila.
Shotgun Seltzer “El Jefe”
Shotgun Seltzer is the first brewed ranch water in the Lone Star State. It is brewed with malt liquor created from organic agave nectar and lime juice. It is then mixed with carbonated water and other natural flavors. “El Jefe” also has no added artificial flavors, sugars, or sweeteners.
All of this comes together to create ranch water that is refreshing and gluten-free, with 6.9% alcohol by volume.
Modelo Ranch Water Spiked Sparkling Water
Modelo may be known for its beer, but the Modelo Ranch Water is spiked sparkling water. Unlike some of the other canned ranch waters, Modelo has clung to its roots, and the Modelo Ranch Waters do not have any actual spirits.
Instead, it is made by fermenting blue agave and lime juice from Mexico. The end result is a low-ABV, 100-calorie drink that can be a go-to when the heat gets you down.
Lone River
Like so many brands, Lone River has taken its Lone River Original Ranch Water and has added a bit of flair to create other flavors. The Lone River Spicy Ranch Water and the Lone River Rio Red Grapefruit Ranch Water add a fun twist to the original, but all of them have a splash of key lime juice that gives just the right balance of tart and sweetness.
Lone River has roots in West Texas and is all about Texas hospitality. It shines through in their canned cocktails as they are low-ABV, only 80 calories, and made with organic and natural ingredients.
Dos Equis Ranch Water Hard Seltzer
Dos Equis is another beer brand that has branched into the seltzer market with its Ranch Water Hard Seltzers. They are naturally flavored with a classic lime taste, only 4.5% alcohol by volume, and just 90 calories per can. These are simple yet delicious.
Topo Chico Ranch Water
Topo Chico Ranch Water uses its popular mineral water to jazz up its Ranch Water cans. They also use 100% agave and real lime juice. Topo Chico is also only 100 calories, with no sugar and 4.7% alcohol by volume.
These drinks are best served ice cold and make for the perfect addition to a backyard BBQ or happy hour on the porch.
Painted Donkey
Painted Donkey offers five flavors of canned ranch waters, but we’re focusing on our three favorites – lime, spicy, and watermelon.
All of them are gluten-free, low-carb, and low-calorie. They are all also made with 100% agave tequila, and the flavors come from their natural sources.
Karbach Brewing Company
Karbach Brewing Company has a whole variety pack of their ranch waters. The flavors included in the pack are the original, which is a lime flavor, watermelon, Meyer lemon, and prickly pear. All of them are gluten-free, 90 calories per can, and 4.5% alcohol by volume.
