Excellent cocktail here in Texas. The Ranch Water recipe I remember (a bit more basic ) was 45 ml Blanco Tequila, 30 ml of lime juice, ice, Topo Chico and a lime wedge in a Higball glass. Might be a good one to add to the cocktail recipes. Take care.

Strongbow is a fabulous cider that balances sweetness with the acidic, tart character of apple. Perfectly balanced and pairs well with venison, bison, and wildfowl.

Mimicking the Dr. Pepper flavor, of course, depends on the IPA. I started with the above specs, using local Yards IPA, but went through a few ratio tweaks before settling on: 90 ml cola, 45 ml IPA, 30 ml amaretto. But even that isn't quite dead on... What IPA brands would you all recommend?

Hope you are doing well. Give Harpoon IPA a try. Has a bit more of malty character and less hop forward.

Fabulous bourbon in both taste and value. Superbly done by the folks at the Williams distillery.

Fabulous balance of flavors without being cloyingly sweet.

Very easy to make and quenches the thirst. Perfect on a balmy summer’s day.

I substituted a 3 finger pinch of brown sugar for the sugar syrup. Imparted a maple type taste to the cocktail. Delicious

The lemon/lime flavors paired quite well with Thanksgiving turkey dinner. Simple but quite refreshing.

Order is in! Thanks as always for y’all’s hard work putting this fine book together. Stay safe.

Thank you for highlighting the importance of bees as pollinators with regard to the food supply. More people need to be made aware of their vital importance to the our ecosystems.

A fabulous go-to lager with body and a fabulous hop/malt balance.

The proportions with this recipe are perfect. Refreshing but not overly sweet.

Gem of a cocktail. Simple and tasty.
