There is almost no type of boozy refreshment that can't be made lighter, brighter, and bubblier with the addition of the Texas-loved glass-bottle beverage. The sparkling mineral water happens to taste way more fizzy and bubbly than any other club soda or seltzer water we've ever tried, which is what makes it an above-average ingredient to add to any cocktail recipe that requires a boost of carbonation—and even some that don't, if you're looking to dilute in the name of being able to enjoy your cocktail longer without sacrificing any flavor. No watered-down drink vibes here. While our hands-down favorite way to use Topo Chico in a cocktail is for topping off a Texas Ranch Water, there are tons of recipes that could benefit from a super bubbly finish, no matter if you're into tequila, bourbon, vodka, or gin. (Or mocktails!) It's hot down South a majority of the year, so you'll be able to enjoy these way beyond summertime. Here are 10 ways to make a tasty Topo Chico cocktail at home. 01 of 10 Texas Ranch Water Getty Images/Lauren King / EyeEm Recipe: Texas Ranch Water Master this ultimate summer cool-down cocktail, and you're set for life. All you need is three ingredients, one of which is—you guessed it—Topo Chico. Tweak the classic recipe by muddling jalapeños as the bottom and adding a chile-lime rim, or by adding a splash of grapefruit juice to makeshift an easy, sparkling Paloma. 02 of 10 Mojitarita Katie Jacobs Recipe: Mojitarita A cross between two epic cocktails, this recipe gets a super fresh kick from mint. We'd recommend topping with Topo Chico's Twist of Lime flavor. 03 of 10 Spicy Watermelon Refresher Victor Protasio; Prop Styling: Audrey Davis; Food Styling: Emily Nabors Hall Recipe: Spicy Watermelon Refresher Could you create a more perfect fizzy porch cocktail for summer? Fresh watermelon you can find at your local farmers' market mellows out the heat of serrano pepper, and finish the delicious respite with reposado tequila and Topo Chico. 04 of 10 Lemon-Mint Sparklers Hector Sanchez Recipe: Lemon-Mint Sparklers Lemon and mint are a match made in heaven—er, the produce section. This drink is simple and calls for no booze at all, if you prefer. However, vodka or a crisp white wine make awesome additions for a spritz. 05 of 10 4th of July Punch Jennifer Causey Recipe: 4th of July Punch Whether you're flying your flag lakeside, beachside, or next to the grill in your own backyard, this punch deserves a spot on your festive lineup. It's got fresh watermelon, ginger, pineapple juice, and the liquor of your choice. Plus, Topo Chico, of course! 06 of 10 Aperol Bourbon Fizz Becky Luigart Stayner Recipe: Aperol Bourbon Fizz A little bit of aperol spritz, a little bit of Old-Fashioned, this recipe brings together two very different cocktails in a tasty new way. For bourbon lovers, it's a no-brainer for when you're feeling like a light sipper. Topo Chico's new Twist of Tangerine flavor would pair well with the citrusy ingredients. 07 of 10 Blackberry-Mint Sparkler Victor Protasio; Prop Styling: Audrey Davis; Food Styling: Emily Nabors Hall Recipe: Blackberry-Mint Sparkler Make the most of in-season blackberries with this easy-sipping, big-batch drink recipe that make porch hangs even less stressful—and way more scrumptious. 08 of 10 Pitcher Mojitos Caitlin Bensel Recipe: Pitcher Mojitos Everyone's favorite rum sparkler just got a big-batch makeover that'll have you entertained all spring and summer long. Top with a jolt of signature Topo bubbles. 09 of 10 Salty Dog Cocktail Caitlin Bensel Recipe: Salty Dog Cocktail This classic gin cocktail presents a fabulous opportunity to dilute a little bit with Twist of Grapefruit Topo Chico in order to be able to drink more, enjoy longer, and drag out the good times. 10 of 10 Pineapple-Coconut Fizz Victor Protasio; Prop Styling: Audrey Davis; Food Styling: Emily Nabors Hall Recipe: Pineapple-Coconut Fizz The combination of pineapple, coconut, and rum is enough to give you visions of Jimmy Buffett dancing in your head. However, if you're unable to find coconut-flavored seltzer water, we recommend adding any flavor of Topo Chico and a splash of coconut water or cream of coconut. Was this page helpful?
