What is a mixer?

In the context of cocktails, a mixer is a non-alcoholic ingredient added to the drink to enhance its flavor, texture, and volume. Mixers can include a wide variety of liquids and other substances.

 

Common types of mixers include:

  • Sodas and Soft Drinks: Examples include tonic water, club soda, cola, and lemon-lime soda.
  • Juices: Such as orange juice, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and tomato juice.
  • Syrups: Simple syrup, grenadine, and flavored syrups like mint or raspberry.
  • Bitters: Although used in small amounts, bitters like Angostura bitters are common mixers.
  • Other Liquids: Ingredients like coffee, tea, and coconut water can also be used as mixers.
  • Dairy Products: Milk, cream, and coconut milk.

 

Mixers are used to balance the strong flavors of the alcohol, add complexity to the drink, and provide a pleasant drinking experience.

All Southern Spirit infusion jars contain infused natural sugars, eliminating the need for syrups. When needed, some infusion jars may already contain bitters - check the ingredients section of our cocktail infusion jars for more information.

 

How do I know which flavor goes best with a certain alcohol type such as vodka, gin, bourbon, rum, etc?

How many cocktails does each infusion make?

The Southern Spirit Cocktail Infusions make up to 10 cocktails per infusion. You can infuse the same infuse jar up to three times – totaling up to 30 cocktails!

 

How long after infusing do I have to enjoy The Southern Spirit?

We recommend enjoying your infusion within 30 days of infusion.

 

How long do I have to infuse?

The shelf life of each unopened Cocktail Infusion is one year.

 

Once I infuse and start making cocktails, how long is the infusion good for?

Once you infuse with other ingredients or mixers, it is good for as long as the other ingredients remain fresh. For example, if you add mint and Sprite to the Cucumber Breeze to make a pitcher of mojitos, it will last until the mint and Sprite are no longer fresh.

 

Do I need to refrigerate my Cocktail Infusion?

Unopened jars do not need to be refrigerated. We recommend keeping it in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight/heat.

Once a spirit is added you must refrigerate your infusion jar in order to preserve the quality.

 

Can I infuse the same ingredients a second time?

YES!  In fact, you can infuse up to three times making up to 30…yes, up to 30 cocktails per jar.

 

Where do your ingredients come from?

Most of our produce is sourced from our local grocer, H-E-B, which prioritizes supporting local communities by choosing products from Texans and their businesses before looking out of state. Additionally, because these products travel fewer miles to our stores, local sourcing helps us all shop more sustainably.

When we are not hand-slicing and dehydrating fresh produce ourselves, we source dehydrated ingredients from US-based farmers and companies.

 

Do your Cocktail Infusions contain gluten?

Our Cocktail Infusion jars do not contain wheat, barley, or rye. However, we are not gluten-free certified at this time. We strongly encourage you to review the ingredients of each Cocktail Infusion and enjoy according to your dietary requirements.
