After introducing its Original Ranch Water hard seltzer, Lone River Ranch Water is introducing two all-new flavors: Rio Red Grapefruit Ranch Water and Spicy Ranch Water. These new hard seltzers feature local ingredients from Texas and take inspiration from classic cocktails.
The Spicy Ranch Water shares a taste of 100% organic agave and natural lime juice, plus jalapeño, the official pepper of Texas. Although people have been sipping on hard seltzer all summer, Lone River Ranch Water says that this is a new flavor that's "sure to keep you warm in the chilly fall months to come."
The new Red Grapefruit Ranch Water also features a similar ingredient list with a Texas twist with Rio Red Grapefruit, which was named the official fruit of Texas in the 90s.
