RENATA — The Rebirth of Ranch Water.
RENATA is BRB Bartender Jan Ynigo ‘s interpretation of the classic Ranch Water, inspired by the idea that tradition does not have to remain unchanged, it can evolve, adapt, and be reborn.
At the heart of the cocktail is Patrón Reposado, a tequila that represents the craftsmanship and character of traditionally made tequila while bringing a richer, more rounded expression of agave to the Ranch Water format. Rather than simply using tequila as a spirit base, I wanted Patrón to remain the soul of the drink—the starting point from which everything else evolves.
Cilantro agave highlights the fresh, aromatic character of the agave plant. Shish*to pepper shrub introduces a subtle savory heat, while green mango acid brings brightness and tropical acidity. Corn tonic finishes the drink with a delicate connection to maíz, one of the defining ingredients of Mexican culinary heritage.
Ingredients:
45ml PATRÓN Reposado Tequila
15ml Green Mango Acid
10ml Shish*to Pepper Shrub
1bs Cilantro - Agave
Top up - Corn Tonic
Garnish: Elote Bites
Glass: Highball w/ Block ice
The result is a Ranch Water that moves beyond its original simplicity while respecting what made it iconic: tequila, refreshment, and balance.
RENATA represents what I believe Patrón stands for—taking something rooted in tradition and perfecting it for the future.
The Ranch Water was born from simplicity. RENATA gives it a perfect new life.
