mixed drinks
Shaken or stirred
Mixed drinks are beverages combining alcohol with other ingredients—juices, sodas, syrups, or additional spirits.
The term encompasses cocktails, highballs, and simpler combinations like rum and cola.
The bar menu listed twenty mixed drinks.
A mixed drink implies preparation, distinguishing it from straight pours of beer, wine, or neat spirits.
