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
