Buy mixers and cocktail essentials online in Australia at Whisky Wine Sake. The unglamorous truth of a great drink: the mixer is most of the glass. A premium gin drowned in flat, sugary tonic is a waste of premium gin — so we stock mixers that deserve the spirits they meet.
Match the mixer to the spirit
A quality tonic with real quinine and fine bubbles transforms a G&T — try a Mediterranean-style tonic with floral gins, classic Indian tonic with juniper-forward London Dry. Ginger beer (fiery, not sweet) makes the Moscow Mule and Dark 'n' Stormy; soda water is the whisky highball's best friend; and proper bitters — the bartender's seasoning — turn good Old Fashioneds into great ones. Add quality cocktail syrups and juices and the home bar is complete.
The one-third rule
If your drink is one-third mixer or more — and a G&T is closer to three-quarters — the mixer deserves a third of the thought. Grab the spirits to match from our gin, vodka, rum and whisky collections, and see liqueurs for the cocktail cabinet's flavour shelf.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does premium tonic really make a difference?
Dramatically — better carbonation, natural quinine and less sugar let the gin actually taste like gin. It's the cheapest upgrade in drinks.
What's the difference between ginger ale and ginger beer?
Ginger beer is brewed, spicier and more intense; ginger ale is lighter and sweeter. Mules and Dark 'n' Stormys specifically want ginger beer.
What mixers should every home bar stock?
Tonic, soda water, ginger beer and Angostura bitters cover the vast majority of classic drinks.
Do you deliver mixers across Australia?
