I tried the classic Ranch Water. It’s tasty, the kick of the tequila is perfect and comes through well. The carbonation is just right and it’s a solid cocktail with some ice.
Feedback
I did feel it was missing something though - for me I personally prefer tequila cocktails to have a slightly stronger kick of lime to balance the tequila. As it is, I think the ranch water has a slightly watery taste. Maybe that’s the intention though given it’s called ranch water?

It didn't think it tasted bad, but it also didn't taste great. It's just a bit mediocre. A little more lime or tequila flavour would go a long way.

As a tequila lover, I loved testing this seltzer! It's a good mix of the tequila flavor not being overpowering and balanced out but still a good taste. The Jalapeno flavor has a delicious kick to it - so good!

I absolutely love that tequila is starting to make it's way into canned drinks! I prefer tequila over everything, so I love this! The Ranch Water is my favorite and the Paloma... I just wish they were a bit higher in alc %!

The canned cocktail is not something that has historically been on my radar, but I tried these at an event and was impressed. The tequila paloma is my favorite. The little kick of salt in it is fantastic. I like that the sugar content is low and the ingredients are simple. For me, this is a local product, so I'm able to purchase at my local liquor store.

I first had the Ranch Rider Ranch Water at a picnic in the park and was smitten. With just tequila, sparkling water, and lime juice, I found the simple combination refreshing and balanced. After trying that, I bought the combo pack and really enjoyed the Paloma. Again, these are balanced and the fruit flavor is subtle and natural so there's no biting aftertaste or sugary hangover. I'm not a huge vodka drinker but did really enjoy the vodka drink, again, at a picnic. In the RTD canned cocktail world, these are definitely one of the higher quality products I've tried.
Feedback
I'd love to see these available with consistency at my local Whole Foods. I feel like it's a crapshoot whether or not they'll be there. Also- I know from experience that when cans are wrapped they aren't recyclable, so it would be helpful if there was a perforated line on the wrap to take it off.

In a sea of fake ranch water seltzers, Ranch Rider is the only maker that ACTUALLY makes a ranch water: tequila, sparkling water, lime - nada mas, nada missing. It pains me that so many other ranch waters on the market are hard seltzers (fermented sugar base) without tequila. They shouldn't be allowed to bear the name. But seriously, love the refreshing taste and that it's simple ingredients with fresh lime. Big fan of the brand and how they don't seem to take themselves too seriously.

I love the branding and all the flavors. It honestly doesn't taste like there is any alcohol in it, which I suppose is good for some. Love supporting local Austin brands as well!
Feedback
It tastes like a lot of others in the category, but is more expensive. I hope that means it's more premium ingredients?
Works really well

I got this at a music venue and it was more expensive than I would have liked. I like the packaging design but the flavor is nothing to write home about.
