Episode 52: Travis Tober from Nickel City, Austin
Manage episode 333488593 series 2774085
In our July/August 2022 issue, Kate Bernot explores the backstory of Ranch Water, the tequila-based Texas cocktail that’s enjoying a moment in the spotlight. For this episode, we talk about the appeal of Ranch Water with Travis Tober, owner of Nickle City in Austin and Fort Worth (and an upcoming location in Houston), and of Old Pal Texas Tavern in Lockhart.
Nickle City’s Ranch Water
1¼ oz. blanco tequila
¼ oz. fresh lime juice
¼ oz. orange liqueur (Nickel City uses Cointreau)
Chilled Topo Chico
Glass: chilled mug or highball glass
Garnish: coarse salt, Tajin
Moisten the rim of the serving glass with the cut edge of a fresh lime, and dip the rim in a small dish containing a mixture of coarse salt and Tajin. Shake to remove the excess, and chill the glass for serving. To make the drink, add the first 3 ingredients to the prepared glass and top with chilled Topo Chico.
