What Is Topo Chico?

To put it simply, Topo Chico is a bubbly mineral water. It’s only sourced from northern Mexico in Cerro Del Topo and has been going strong since 1895 (more on that next).

Here are the flavors it comes in:

Lime
Grapefruit
Tangerine

Pro tip: you can make a great Paloma cocktail with the grapefruit Topo Chico!

History of Topo Chico

Topo Chico is said to have mythical origins coming from the Aztecs.

In the 1440s, the Aztec princess was suffering from an illness with no known cure. A priest told her father to visit a spring to the north, which was known for its healing capabilities. She journeyed to this place, drank and bathed in the water, and became cured.

And ever since 1895, it has been bottled from this same spring.

Hard Seltzer

If you’re into alcoholic beverages, Topo Chico also has hard seltzers! These spiked seltzers only have 100 calories and 2g of sugar per can. They also have 4.7% alcohol volume per 12 oz.

Here are the hard seltzer flavors:

Tropical Mango
Strawberry Guava
Tangy Lemon Lime
Exotic Pineapple

They also have a new flavor called Ranch water. In Texas, there’s a popular cocktail called Ranch water made with lime juice, tequila, and mineral water. This cocktail’s popularity inspired the new seltzer flavor.
