Probably not. Amazon just bought the rights to their music.

seriously. there are some dogs trained at getting a beer out of the fridge and bringing it to you that would be more useful than this robot table mashup thing.

If its not straight whiskey then its mixed

Edit: I know its an unpopular opinion but I want to challenge and be proven wrong with evidence.

The evidence is basic reading comprehension. Yes ice cubes are often a component of mixed drinks, but their presence alone doesn’t make whiskey one.

His link doesn’t even make that assertion. Where’s he getting this from? My bar would love to charge whiskey on the rocks as a “mixed drink”.

I’ve never drank mixed drinks, but as a super annoying literal person, I could make an argument that ice is an ingredient and therefore combining with a liquor constitutes a mixed drink by definition. I also don’t care much about it, but google searched the definition because I feel the same way about grilled cheese sandwiches.I could also see folks argue that ice isn’t an ingredient. Anyway, have a great day!!

noun. : an alcoholic drink made with two or more ingredients

It’s not a mix. The exact same molecules in ice exist in whiskey, If you want to be technical. If you want to be practical, no bar would call that a mixed drink.

so technically, you could add a single grain of salt and have a mixed drink

Theseus’s Reserve is what I’d call it. Technically, yes. Practically, you’ll have an upset bartender. He’ll still let you do it. I promise.

What? A mixed drink as per standard definitions is a drink containing two or more ingredients- that’s it. So whiskey and ice is a mixed drink albeit a boring one.

I know that goes against our intuition and of course no bar would call it that but strictly by definition it’s true and you cannot contest that without throwing out every dictionary.

What do you mean the exact same molecules exist in whiskey? Do you mean water? You can say that about fruit mixers, tomato juice, everything. Not sure what you’re getting at there

Is ginger beer a mixed drink or is your definition shit? This literally my job lmao! Never seen a dictionary make a drink.
