Cocktails, Mixers & Tonics

Q: What common mixers are good for most cocktails?

There are a lot of different mixers you can use for cocktails, but some of the most popular ones include ginger ale, club soda, tonic water, cranberry juice, and orange juice. Each mixer will give your cocktails a slightly different flavour profile, so it's worth trying out a variety of them to see which ones you like best.

Q: Do cocktail mixers expire?

Yes, they can expire. Most mixers are okay for about a year once they've been opened, but it's always best to check the expiration date on the bottle. Cocktail mixers that contain high levels of sugar or salt can go bad more quickly, so it's important to pay attention to those dates. If you have any leftover mixers after a party, just store them in the fridge and they should be good for another few weeks. But if you notice that your mixer has started to spoil (it smells sour or off, or there are mould spores forming), then it's time to toss it out and buy a new one.
