Mixer
(MIK-sur)
A mixer refers to a non-alcoholic ingredient that is added to a drink to enhance its flavor, add volume, or change its character. Mixers can be carbonated or non-carbonated and are used in a variety of cocktails to complement and balance the flavors of the alcoholic components.
Common types of mixers include:
Sodas: Such as club soda, tonic water, ginger ale, and cola. These are often used in highball drinks and to add carbonation.
Juices: Orange juice, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, tomato juice, and lemon or lime juice are popular for adding natural sweetness and acidity.
Syrups and Sweeteners: Simple syrup, grenadine, or agave syrup provide sweetness to balance the strength of the alcohol.
