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.

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.

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