Co-founded by The University of Texas at Austin alumni Brian Murphy and Quentin Cantu, Ranch Rider was inspired by long shifts and late nights on the Ranch Hand food truck. On a search for shift drinks that weren’t loaded with sugar or artificial sweeteners, they began mixing and taste-testing cocktails with their health-conscious customers. Eventually, the duo landed on three recipes that featured sparkling water and real, not-from-concentrate juice rather than artificial sweeteners, preservatives, or coloring.
