Carbide hole saw, a small drill press and a squirt bottle of water (like
a ketchup squeeze bottle) would be the simple way.

That works, but it's the expensive route, either renting or buying. The
carbide hole saws should do the job as a one-time deal at less cost.

Possibly, I wouldn't know. I'm speaking from the perspective of someone
who if I had to do that job, would walk over to the other side of the
office, talk to one of the sprinkler guys, and ask them if I could
borrow one of the small hole saws they use for core drilling

Yes, renting a Hilti core drill rig will certainly get the job done. For
a single dispenser hole in a countertop, I lean towards cheap and
treating a cheap carbide hole saw as a disposable item.

This is one of those jobs that I would not fool around with. I'd call
a granite supplier and get some quotes on having it done.

Easy done, Check Harbor Freight for low cost carbide and diamond hole
saws. A cordless drill on low speed has about the right RPM for the
job.
