How To Luxe Up Your House Party with Premium Soda Mixers
On those days when you plan a party adhering to a budget, you would try to source liquors, garnishes and mixers that are pocket-friendly but are of good quality. Choosing from mid-range spirits, you could come up with gins and vodkas that fit into your budget nicely and with which it will be possible to mix a number of different cocktails. If you tend to a small herb garden or kitchen garden, you would be equipped with fresh garnishes in the form of mint, basil and rosemary. These can also be integrated into many cocktail recipes as flavour accents that level-up your mixology.
And despite following this budget, your homemade cocktails would still acquire that premium and luxe touch when they are finished off with fuzzy, frothy premium soda waters. The textural finish of this mixer, coupled with its aerated quality that better opens up the flavours of the spirits and other infusions added to the recipe, can lead to the creation of drinks that spell sheer elegance.
Read on below to know more about some of the ways in which premium soda mixers can still luxe up the house party that you host on a budget:
Transform Base Spirits
Introducing about 60 ml of Gordon’s Tonic Water or any other tonic water of choice to a cocktail containing 20 ml of gin and 10 ml of elderflower liqueur can transform a simple recipe into a drink featuring different textural nuances. In such a drink, adding a good amount of the mixer turns it into the protagonist, where the spirit and other flavour accents are part of a flavourful supporting act. What shines through is the fizzy sparkle of the tonic water, which, coupled with a simple rosemary garnish, imbues a lovely elegance into the cocktail.
Easier For Batch Prep
Another reason soda mixers work well in cocktails at a house party is that they can be easily incorporated in batch cocktail recipes. Stock up on Black Dog Soda or any other premium soda of choice and then use this for topping off different cocktail mixtures, including rum and pineapple juice or vodka and litchi syrup. Finished off with soda water, the drinks will get a fizzy textural nuance and a bubbly consistency. Added to dispensers, guests can then self-serve at a house party, where each moderate serve contains about 30 ml of spirit.

Garnish And Glassware Galore
Another reason why adding about 45 ml Black Dog Soda or any other premium soda of choice adds to the luxe effect of drinks is that these mixers have enough edge to complement the different garnishes used to adorn cocktails. Crafting a simple whisky ginger with the addition of 45 ml Black And White Ginger Ale or any other premium ginger ale of choice, finished off with an orange peel garnish, served in a clear highball glass, means showcasing the frothy effect of the drink coupled with a bright fruity pop that amounts to a recipe for sleek, sophisticated presentation.
Affordable Elegance
Instead of investing in premium bottles of liquors or spirits while hosting on a budget, soda mixers afford a host the luxury to craft elegant mixes without burning a hole through the wallet. With their smooth quality, mixers such as 45 ml of Godawan Water or any other premium water of choice added to drinks can quickly level-up their luxe quality all the while enabling you to infuse them with different herbal and fruity flavours, all under budget.
Mocktail Potential
And one of the best things about these mixers, such as a 60 ml addition of Johnnie Walker Luxe Blended Water or any other premium blended water of choice to recipes like a kokum sherbet, a lemon-lime spritzer or a herb-infused drink, is that they can just as easily be used to prepare non-alcoholic blends. This means, premium sodas can be added over ice to citruses, herbs, fruits, syrups and infusions to craft mocktails that are elegant and nuanced. Think budgeted drinks like hibiscus soda with lime wheels or spiced cola with rosemary to infuse an elegant touch into your house party.
