Mixed drinks are beverages made by combining two or more different types of alcoholic or non-alcoholic ingredients. These drinks can range from simple combinations like a gin and tonic to more complex cocktails with multiple ingredients. Mixing drinks allows for endless possibilities in terms of flavor combinations and creativity.
