Best Cocktail Mixers of 2025

"I recently tried Craftmix drink packets and was pleasantly surprised by their variety and flavor profiles. The Blood Orange Mai Tai stood out with its vibrant and citrusy flavor, a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. The Passionfruit Paloma was refreshing, especially with vodka, and the Mango Margarita felt like a beach vacation. The Strawberry Mule was a delightful twist on the classic, making it a versatile option for any occasion. I was really impressed with how easy it was to create delicious drinks, and I highly recommend Craftmix for anyone looking to elevate their drink game!"

"As someone who enjoys convenient cocktail options, Craftmix has genuinely impressed me with their variety pack. The Blood Orange Mai Tai became my favorite, especially with coconut rum. The Margarita Mix delivered that fresh lime kick, while the Paloma Mix was perfect for summer with its light grapefruit undertone. I love the individual pouches for flexibility and the chance to experiment with different liquors. Just a heads up, I found that mixing well is essential to ensure the powder dissolves properly!"

"I got this Craftmix set as a gift for my sister, and I was initially concerned about the taste or if they'd be chalky. Thankfully, these packs were a hit! She loved every mix, and I even tried her Strawberry Mule, which was delicious. She made a Mango Margarita with chamoy and tajin that was great too! My dad noted a slight stevia taste, but it didn’t bother me. Overall, these mixers are convenient and fun to have on hand for cocktails!"

"I decided to try this mix instead of buying individual ingredients, which would have cost more. The taste is incredible! I just rimmed my glass with orange zest and added a maraschino cherry, and it was delicious!"

"I purchased this along with a cocktail smoking kit and a butane torch for my boyfriend to create smoked old fashioneds. It turned out perfectly! This mix is a fantastic alternative to bitters when you want something unique."

"Having never tried an Old-Fashioned before, I gave this mix a 4 out of 5 stars because I know there are other brands available."

"I tried the CAIPIRINHA, and it was super gostoso! I highly recommend it! I've sampled around six flavors, and they're all delicious! It's a fun way to enjoy a drink occasionally, and the flavor and amount are just right!"

"I purchased this as a gift, and while I can't comment on the flavors myself, I found the packaging appealing. The company included cocktail mix recommendations, which was a nice touch. I just wish they offered larger bottles for the flavors I end up loving!"

"I bought this for Christmas, and although it arrived damaged, I reached out to the manufacturer. Their customer service was wonderful! They quickly sent a replacement, so I could still give it as a gift."

"I was pleasantly surprised by how good the mixers are. My wife and I enjoyed them, and even our friends who love old fashioneds liked it too. I’ll definitely buy again!"

"I think these mixers make a perfect gift for my dad, who enjoys mixed drinks. The glass bottles are well-packaged, and he loved them!"

"I had high hopes for this mixer set, but I ended up with three bottles of the same flavor. The taste was underwhelming, and it lacked the expected orangish flavor. I wouldn’t recommend it."

"I bought this for my grandson. He's 22 and new to cocktails, and he was very surprised and excited! He can’t wait to experiment at home with the small samples."

"This set is beautiful for gift giving, but I found that not many flavors were tasty. We tried it as an Advent calendar, and while it was fun to explore new flavors, only a few were really good."

"This set would make a terrific gift for someone who loves cocktails but struggles to mix them. They make the process super easy with all-natural flavoring, and the presentation is impressive too!"

"I don't mind it but wouldn't buy it again. I didn't taste cranberries at all; the lime flavor is really overpowering. I tried it alone before mixing drinks with vodka. If you don’t mind the lack of cranberry taste, then this is for you. It's also on the bitter side. I'm going to finish the bottle since I don't want to waste it."

"You really don’t need to use a lot; it’s very strong. I recommend mixing it with some juice for a better balance."

"I received my order today and noticed it was discolored and out of date, expired in September."

"I can always count on Ocean Spray. Made from all-natural ingredients, it tastes great and is offered at a good price."

"This mix is delicious! It makes the perfect Cosmopolitan when mixed with quality vodka. Just add ice, shake, and enjoy! I hope they continue making this; it's the ideal juice mix for light and cheerful drinks."

"As a fan of Old Fashioneds, I was thrilled to find Bittermilk No.1. It offers a shortcut to cocktail perfection with its rich flavor that perfectly complements my bourbon. After a long day, this mix allows me to create a drink that rivals craft cocktail bars with minimal effort. It's truly the best Old Fashioned mix I've encountered!"

"I typically make my cocktails from scratch, but I decided to try Bittermilk because I couldn't find it locally. The smoked whiskey sour is absolutely delicious, with a perfect balance of sweet and sour. It's a quality product that saves me time when I want to impress my guests with a nice drink."

"I love how Bittermilk has changed my home cocktail game. The depth of flavor and the balance between bitter, sweet, and acidic components are impressive. My friends and I were all amazed at how it surpassed our expectations. If you're a cocktail enthusiast, I can't recommend it enough—it's a true game-changer!"

"I recently indulged in the Thoughtfully Cocktails Margarita Mixer Gift Set, and it transformed my ordinary evenings into extraordinary fiestas! This set is essential for any margarita lover. The guilt-free ingredients cater to everyone, and the quality is apparent throughout the gift set. The variety of flavors is simply delightful, and the presentation makes it a perfect gift. Plus, it's incredibly easy to use—just add tequila for a restaurant-quality margarita at home!"

"I gifted this to my brother and sister-in-law because they adore margaritas. It paired perfectly with a frozen drink maker for a lovely Christmas present!"

"I bought this set as a take-home gift for a baby shower at a Mexican restaurant. They were adorable and matched the picture exactly!"

“This is my favorite pina colada mix. It's rich and flavorful.”

“I had been buying expensive premade cosmos, but I decided to give this a try since it's the same price for a larger bottle. I'm really pleased! It tastes just like a cosmo from a bar. I usually add a splash of lime. I plan to order again once I run out!”

“I usually grab the $5 kind from Walmart, but they were out. I paid $13 here, and it had zero flavor. I went back to Walmart and got two good ones for $10. I won't be ordering this again.”

"My daughter's martini party was a hit thanks to these fun flavor options that allowed friends to create their own unique cocktails."

"I found the small bottles make about 1.5 martinis each, but I was a bit let down by the flavor, which felt overpriced for what it offered."

"These mini bottles are perfect for gift boxes! They stand about 6 to 8 inches tall and add a colorful touch to any occasion."
