Bubbles
Add the water last so it stays sharp.
Lime
Fresh. Bottled lime tastes like candy.
Tequila
Blanco. A sweet reposado fights the lime.
Ice
Fill the glass. A short pour of ice makes a warm drink.

FAQ
Soda with sweetener?
Then it is not ranch water. Keep it unsweetened.
Grapefruit?
That turns it toward a Paloma. This one is lime only.
Batch?
Tequila and lime in a pitcher. Sparkling water in the glass.
Salt?
A tiny pinch is optional. A salted rim is a margarita habit.
