With the rise of mixology and craft cocktail trends, consumer interest in cocktail mixers has gained momentum. Mixers are the non-alcoholic ingredients added to alcohol to create a cocktail. Cocktail recipes vary widely and range from a simple list of ingredients to an exotic menu with intricate preparation instructions. As the cocktail culture grows, new flavor profiles and product innovations continue to drive the cocktail mixer category.

The original Zing Zang Bloody Mary mix was spread through word-of-mouth before it became a commercial mixer.

The earliest cocktails were a mix of spirits, sugar, water, and bitters.
History
During the Prohibition era in the United States, liquor-based concoctions gained popularity due to their easier accessibility compared to wine or beer. The earliest recipes for what would eventually be called a "cocktail" included sugar, water, and bitters—ingredients meant to dilute and sweeten the spirit.
After Prohibition was repealed and the commercialization of alcoholic beverages took off, cocktails became a central feature of bar and restaurant experiences. To simplify bartenders' tasks and reduce the costs associated with various bar-top ingredients, liqueurs and ready-to-pour cocktail mixers were introduced. Products such as Zing Zang mixers, Triple Sec, and flavored tonic water flew off the shelves for both business owners and home bars. These convenient, delicious, and versatile creations revolutionized the industry and have since become staples in bars and restaurants worldwide.
