Do you have an inner mixologist, just yearning to whip up some festive concoctions? It’s true that only a poor craftsman blames his tools, but shaking quality cocktails requires tools that are truly up to the task, so be sure to reach for quality mixers.
Mixers that Make a Splash
One of the hallmarks of a seasoned host is a well-stocked bar. Of course, that means you’ll need a fine selection of top-shelf spirits, but most of your guests will want something to take the edge of their favorite libation. For a high-quality highball, you need a mixer that heightens the flavor of the drink without detracting from it with artificial sweeteners or additives. Think of Thrive as your dedicated barback on this front.
Top Cocktail Mixer Brands
Here’s where we turn for crisp, refreshing mixers that will bring out the flavor of satisfying spirits:
Q Drinks
Company founder Jordan Silbert and his longtime friend Ben Karlin started Q Drinks because of a simple belief: Top-quality liquor deserves a better mixer than bottom-of-the-barrel hooch. So what exactly does “better” mean? Well, attractive packaging is important, but the kind of standards we’re talking about are more substantial than cosmetic camouflage. For Q Drinks, that doesn't mean masking the favor of fine spirits with loads of high fructose corn syrup, but rather using a minimal amount of agave or sugar to extenuate the liquor’s existing qualities. Q Drinks uses only carefully sourced natural ingredients.

Q Mixers Tonic Water
If you’re a gin-and-tonic fan who hasn’t yet indulged in the Q Tonic twist on this classic cocktail, get ready for a whole new level of satisfaction. Tonic water from Q Drinks has that classic bite of quinine without the high-calorie impact of high fructose corn syrup that you find in mixers from many competitors. Instead, a light brush with agave provides a gentle touch of sweetness that won’t overwhelm the real star of the hour: your favorite gin.
