Lone River was founded by Katie Beal Brown. She wanted to introduce America to the taste and tradition of Far West Texas, where her family has been ranching for over 100 years. Katie has always been inspired by the beautiful landscape and delicious drinks of the region. One of the most storied is Ranch Water, a simple yet beloved cocktail, made with tequila, lime and soda water, that symbolizes the spirit of Texas hospitality and community.
When Lone River launched its first product Ranch Water Hard Seltzer in 2020, Katie pioneered the tequila inspired flavor space in hard seltzer and disrupted the category. Shortly after, Lone River introduced an extension to the portfolio with Ranch Rita Margarita Style, inspired by America’s #1 cocktail, the Margarita (which is also rumored to have been created in West, Texas).
Today, Lone River’s awarding-winning drinks are available nationwide. Lone River is a brand that embodies the essence of the West — with its authenticity, grit and unpretentious charm.
