I come here every night for see what weird product is being sold. The past few weeks have been boring. Thanks for at least trying tonight… just add alcohol.
@brainmist these are normally $20/bottle. WithCo is having a rare warehouse clearance sale for the $6/bottle on two of the flavors we have here (sweaterweather out of stock). Apparently they will be in 1700 Target stores on March 15th
Don’t buy cocktail mixers. We aren’t living in the 1980s. You can afford to make your cocktails the right way. You don’t need a denim apron and a fancy shaker. You need booze, bitters, sugar (simple syrup), and quality ice. Good ice is key. Camper’s directional freezing method is a game changer for the home enthusiast (alcoholic). If your preferred cocktail requires fruit juice or oleo saccharum make it yourself.
Commercial cocktail mixers are bad and if you use them you should feel bad. Insert Zoidberg meme.
@j37hr0 cocktail snobbery is ridiculous. You should be ashamed. Sometimes it’s easier to use a mix like these instead of harvesting your own cucumbers and mint leaves in the winter. Where do you draw the line at making your own ingredients?
From the quality tap water from around here
(that was tap water from our city 8 day water “issue” over Christmas - found the container Feb 20th - must have been unfiltered river water flowing through our taps once it came back on)
@j37hr0@warpedrotors In the past, I drank margaritas and blood Mary’s and whatnot from a can. Was pretty good. Cutwater. Better to buy a 4 pack than a 1/5 or a gallon at Costco. I don’t drink them anymore but they weren’t shitty. Need a couple of minor tweaks (squeeze of like, ice etc) and tastes great [enough].
That said this isn’t even canned so I’m with you, it’s atrocious. Canned drinks or go fly a kite. I won’t associate with a website that settles for this crap. Bottles are for urine, cans are forever. Long live canned cocktails.
@j37hr0 I haven’t tried these flavors but the ones I bought from the old site were way more expensive and not even very good. Some homemade simple syrup and some bitters makes a much better old fashioned than the old fashioned mixer.
@j37hr0 I’m sorry your feelings are so easily hurt. Maybe you can carve a perfectly clear and round ice sphere to calm yourself. I assume you make your own bitters as well?
@j37hr0 your immediate jump to “enjoy your shitty drinks,” along with this post doubling down on an idiotic assumption that I must drink cocktails made from a bar rag wrung-out into a dirty pint glass, clearly show that your feelings are hurt. Being a pretentious douche isn’t the best personality trait, but you certainly seem proud of it. I’ve made my own bitters, but Angostura makes it much quicker and easier. Strange that you can’t apply that thought here. I never said these made amazing drinks, that they were finely crafted with top notch ingredients, or that they were even potentially slightly better than any cocktail made from fresh ingredients. I simply stated that they could be a good shortcut when you don’t have the access to or the patience for using fresh ingredients. I’ve used a few “cocktail syrups” that have made delicious cocktails. Shortcuts don’t automatically mean the end result is trash. Just because you put on an apron, wax your mustache, straighten your bowtie, and change gloves after fingering your asshole, doesn’t mean you’re making a good cocktail. It just means you’re a pretentious douche chiseling blocks of ice before you drink alone. Enjoy your amazing cocktails, jethro.
@j37hr0 Side note: my last liquor purchase was a bottle of bourbon with a free mini bottle of old fashioned syrup attached to the bourbon. I was very excited.
@warpedrotors that’s great! I poured broker’s gin (it has a cute plastic bowler cap), ango orange bitters, and M&R dry vermouth into a glass with a lemon twist. Cheers!

Marketing to women, because it is women’s history mont or because they can’t tell booze from shampoo?
As a stereotypical TV sitcom woman, you could stay in your role, if you take a nice warm bath, sip a glass of cold Moscato and pour this stuff into the bath water.
@formfeed@rpstrong@Willijs3
Well, I’m a woman and I think these are obnoxious. It’s like the adult version of making a toy truck but painting it pink and putting rhinestones on it for girls.
I might have tried the Old Fashioned mix but it’s AWOL so…pass on these.
But… if I’m too lazy to make them from scratch I’m going to use something with the bourbon already in it… since I pre-made a lot of clear ice balls it’s just a pour and fill process. I might zest an orange if I have enough energy
Handy and Schiller uses Buffalo Trace if you can find it.
Jarvis!!! My bath is getting cold. What am I even paying you for. Quick man, put some hot water in here and scrub my back. Oh, can you grab a bottle of that lavender rose water stuff?
Can someone explain the pictures of the ingredients? Do you add 1.5 oz of everything listed along with 1.5 oz of the mixer? That’s about 6 oz of hard liquor with 1.5 oz of champagne to 1.5 oz of mixer!
@troy Thank you for clarifying. I’m not much of a liquor snob, but when a mixer says, “vodka, tequila, gin…what’s the difference?” It’s probably not a good sign of a quality drink.
The ingredients are decent and it is much easier to buy this than mix your own. I was gifted some mixers over Christmas that had tons of food coloring and other junk added to it.
For full price, probably not worth it. For only a couple $ per bottle, great deal!
@customers Heads up, if you liked the Sweaterweather Cocktail Mixers, we’re down to our last batch over at SideDeal at 6 for $18. (They’re the last batch because we just passed our Best By dating.)
There’s a whole food event over there if you’re interested in that kind of thing.

Margarita flavour?
Yes, the longer the ingredient list, the easier the hosting and gathering.
I thought we are supposed to reduce our carbon footprint, but these come “With Carbon Monoxide” ??
I guess you could check the insurance policy, then pour some for your spouse.
(Yeah, I know…)
What? No old fashion?

That pooch in the last picture for the product, His name wouldn’t be Bernie, would it?
Soooo… the blend that got them praise (the Old Fashioned mixer) isn’t on the list?
Reading the reviews makes them more interesting… but now I’m wondering where the $90 price comes from?
@brainmist these are normally $20/bottle. WithCo is having a rare warehouse clearance sale for the $6/bottle on two of the flavors we have here (sweaterweather out of stock). Apparently they will be in 1700 Target stores on March 15th
ok, I read ‘sweaty weather’ flavor and just skipped the rest.
You’re supposed to dilute alcohol?
Sounds good!

@warpedrotors not sure why you think my feelings are hurt, but I’ll accept your apology.
I don’t make my own bitters, there’s a good reason ango is standard.
Please, enjoy your bad drinks. Drinking to get drunk on cheap booze and mixers is a valid choice.

@warpedrotors thanks, i will!
@j37hr0 Update: currently drinking an old fashioned made with above ingredients… and cloudy ice.
@warpedrotors that’s great! I poured broker’s gin (it has a cute plastic bowler cap), ango orange bitters, and M&R dry vermouth into a glass with a lemon twist. Cheers!
@j37hr0 what about the ice?
@warpedrotors the ice was discarded after i strained the drink into a glass with a bent julep strainer.

This company has a marketing problem. These look like shampoo bottles. I don’t want a cocktail that makes me think of shampoo while I drink it.
@Willijs3 “shampoo” is exactly what I thought MEH was selling when I opened the page.
Then I read it was drink mixers and realized my error.
Then I read one is flavored with lavender, lemon, and rose water.
And I realized my first thought was correct.
Don’t abuse the alcohol with lavender, lemon, and rose water.
@Willijs3 It’s not a marketing problem if you’re marketing to women.
[I’ll stick to Bourbon and branch.]
@Willijs3 “This is strong shampoo.”
@rpstrong @Willijs3
Marketing to women, because it is women’s history mont or because they can’t tell booze from shampoo?

I am 100% serious I thought this was shampoo and conditioner until I read the daily deal email where they were making fun of it.
A perfect gift for the discriminating winos in your life…
They all sound, and look like something for bath water. I’ll go with ice as my mixer.
Jarvis!!! My bath is getting cold. What am I even paying you for. Quick man, put some hot water in here and scrub my back. Oh, can you grab a bottle of that lavender rose water stuff?
@detailer this guy knows how to take baths apparently. I’m poor so I use water. But drink mixer bath? Yolo.
Yes. These are shampoo. No question.
These sound terrible!!!
Looks like shampoo bottles.
Can someone explain the pictures of the ingredients? Do you add 1.5 oz of everything listed along with 1.5 oz of the mixer? That’s about 6 oz of hard liquor with 1.5 oz of champagne to 1.5 oz of mixer!
@wickhameh Sounds good to me . . . especially if you leave out the last ingredient.
@wickhameh Those are just the recommended mixers – it’s a 1:1 ratio of your choice
@troy Thank you for clarifying. I’m not much of a liquor snob, but when a mixer says, “vodka, tequila, gin…what’s the difference?” It’s probably not a good sign of a quality drink.
@wickhameh Vodka is made to be mostly tasteless, a neutral mixer. Tequila and gin have much more flavor
eh I have been curious to try
/giphy unanswered-useless-hammer
I’m gonna try them. I’m always looking for different stuff to mix into drinks.
The ingredients are decent and it is much easier to buy this than mix your own. I was gifted some mixers over Christmas that had tons of food coloring and other junk added to it.
For full price, probably not worth it. For only a couple $ per bottle, great deal!
That’s shampoo and conditioner.
And I guess I should read before I post.
Just received my order. Box was a sticky mess and was missing 25% of the product. Just me?
