The Best Cocktail Mixers

The use of a mixer in mixology is a supposedly simple story. It serves to enlarge the drink, to break back the alcohol, to add another layer of flavour and to make the cocktail complete. And herein lies the dilemma, especially with long drinks, because the mixer often makes up the majority of the drink and so should be chosen carefully. Recently there has been substantial investment and innovation in the mixer selection; gone are the days when the choice was small and the cloying, saccherine taste dominated the back palate of your cocktail.
