In 2017, The Coca-Cola Company purchased Topo Chico for $220 million.[2][3] The brand was originally popular in northern Mexico and Texas, with the Coca-Cola Company later helping popularize it across the United States.[2] The drink has a cult following.[2][3][4][5]

Ranch Water is a cocktail made with tequila, lime juice and Topo Chico, over ice. Its roots can be traced back to West Texas, and is especially popular in Austin and San Antonio. [6]
