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
