Home - Ranch 616

The legendary Ranch Water was created by our late founder, Kevin Williamson, after sneaking ice-cold tequila in his water jug on hunting trips with his father.

Ranch 616’s signature drink combines Sauza Tequila Reposado, Jalisco 1562 Orange Liqueur, Lime, and Topo Chico. In the early days, Topo Chico was a hidden gem — Ranch Water didn’t just catch on, it helped put Topo Chico on the map and forever changed how we enjoy tequila.

Come celebrate #NationalRanchWaterDay with us this Friday, April 11th, where it all began!
