Cocktail artists have really upped their game recently, making way for a whole new world of potent but delicious libations. But sometimes you don’t want to spend 5 minutes shaking, blending, and stirring just to enjoy a nice drink. If you just want to keep it simple with ice, liquor, and something to pour over, try some of these mixers.
Flavored Seltzer Waters
No calorie and low calorie flavored bubbly waters have taken the world by storm, and they are great for mixing. Sweet, fruity flavors work great with vodka, while citrusy sodas pair perfectly with a good gin.
Bitters
Okay, so bitters technically aren’t mixers, but if you’re the type that likes just a little bit of flavor to cut down the booze, adding a dash of mixers on top of your bourbon can do wonders.
Juice
Juice is a classic cocktail mixer and there’s a good reason for it. If you don’t love the taste of vodka, gin, or whiskey, juice can help cover it up while still letting you relax.
Tea
There is a wide range of teas, and most are low in calories, so you can enjoy mixing them with your favorite spirits while maintaining your slender figure.
