Make it.

  1. Rim a chilled highball glass with lime and worm salt.
  2. Fill the glass with ice.
  3. Add mezcal, coconut water, and lime juice.
  4. Top with sparkling mineral water and stir gently.

To Serve

Garnish with a lime wheel or a thin strip of toasted coconut.

Ritual

Let the bubbles lift the salt from the rim. This drink is at its best when it stays cold, bright, and almost weightless.

Adapted from the existing Don Catrín recipe.

Story

Ranch water is already a summer classic because it is simple: agave spirit, lime, mineral water, and ice. This version leans tropical without getting heavy by adding coconut water instead of syrup.

Mezcal makes the drink smoky and dry, while coconut water gives it a soft roundness. Worm salt belongs on the rim because it pulls the lime forward and makes the mineral bubbles feel sharper.

The result is light, salty, and refreshing, more like a long afternoon than a sugary beach drink.

Notes & Variations

  • Use blanco tequila for a more classic ranch water profile.
  • Add 1/4 oz agave nectar if you prefer a slightly sweeter drink.
