Topo-Chico is a brand of sparkling mineral water from Mexico. Topo-Chico is both naturally carbonated at the source and artificially carbonated.[1]

History[]

Topo-Chico has been sourced from and bottled in Monterrey, Mexico since 1895. The drink takes its name from the mountain Cerro del Topo Chico, near Monterrey.[2][3]

In 2017, The Coca-Cola Company purchased Topo-Chico for $220 million.[3][4] The brand was originally popular in northern Mexico and Texas, with the Coca-Cola Company later helping popularize it across the United States.[3] The drink has a cult following.[3][4][5][6]

Ranch Water is a cocktail made with tequila, lime juice and Topo-Chico, over ice, a popular drink in Texas. [7]
