Dude is our play on Ranch Water. Ranch Water is a popular and refreshing cocktail that has gained popularity in recent years, particularly in the southwestern United States.

To make a Dude Ranch Water, combine tequila and fresh lime juice in a glass filled with ice. Then, top it off with sparkling mineral water and a squeeze of lime. The result is a thirst-quenching, low-calorie drink with a delightful combination of flavors and perfect for sipping on a hot day or as a lighter alternative to more complex cocktails.
