Tasting Notes

This Peach Ranch Water is light, crisp, and just sweet enough. Peach nectar brings mellow fruit flavor, while tequila gives it a smooth base. A splash of lime juice keeps things balanced and bright, and the sparkling water stretches it into something super refreshing. The Tajín rim adds a salty-spicy kick that works well with the sweetness of the peach. You’ll taste juicy peach first, followed by a clean finish with a little citrus and a touch of heat. It’s easy to drink and not too strong perfect when you want something simple with a little flavor twist.

Equipment and Glassware

You won’t need much here. A jigger for measuring, a citrus squeezer for fresh lime, and a spoon to stir. For rimming the glass, a small plate and some lime juice or water will help stick the Tajín. Use a tall glass like a highball or Collins to leave room for ice and bubbles. If you want to level up the garnish, grab a cocktail pick for peach slices. No shaker, no blender just stir and serve. This is a fuss-free drink that comes together quickly.

Ingredients

• Tajín, for rimming
• 2 oz blanco tequila
• 2 oz peach nectar
• ¼ oz lime juice
• 3 oz sparkling water

Instructions

• Run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass, then dip it into Tajín to coat the edge.

Pro Tips

• Use chilled sparkling water to keep the drink crisp.
• Fresh peach nectar works best store-bought is fine if not overly sweet.
• For a spicy version, add a jalapeño slice.
• No Tajín? Try chili-lime salt or plain salt.
• Adjust lime juice to taste more for brightness, less for mellow.
• Keep your glass cold to slow down dilution.
• Try swapping sparkling water with Topo Chico for extra fizz.

When to Serve

This Peach Ranch Water is a good pick for hot afternoons, casual happy hours, or outdoor meals. It works well with tacos, grilled chicken, or anything light and salty.
