Great cocktails are about balance, not complexity. The best drinks feel intentional, layered, and effortless—something you’d expect from a well-crafted bar menu, not a crowded home setup. With Mix Me Co., that experience becomes simple and repeatable.
This citrus-forward cocktail highlights how a single stick pack can deliver brightness, depth, and structure without syrups, muddling, or guesswork. It’s fresh, clean, and perfectly suited for everything from relaxed evenings to casual hosting.

Why This Cocktail Works
Citrus-based cocktails are timeless for a reason. They’re refreshing, versatile, and easy to enjoy—but they often fall flat when overloaded with sugar or artificial flavoring. Mix Me Co’s So Citrus, So Bean stick pack brings a more refined approach.
The citrus notes deliver freshness and lift, while smooth vanilla undertones add dimension. Instead of sharp acidity or one-note sweetness, the flavor stays smooth and balanced from first sip to finish.
Because Mix Me Co. is designed as a concentrated, single-serve liquid mixer, it replaces multiple ingredients with one clean addition—resulting in a cocktail that feels lighter, more modern, and easier to make.

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Start with the Spirit
Pour 1.5 - 2 oz of your chosen spirit into a rocks glass. This ratio ensures the citrus flavors stay bright without overpowering the base spirit.
2. Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice. Chilling the drink properly helps brings balance to the final sip.
3. Add Mix Me Co.
Open one So Citrus, So Bean stick pack and pour it directly over the ice and spirit. The liquid integrates instantly—no shaking required.
4. Stir Gently
Stir for about 10 seconds to fully combine and chill the drink. This step ensures a smooth, evenly balanced cocktail.
5. Garnish (Optional)
Express a strip of citrus peel over the glass to release aromatic oils, then drop it in or rest it on the rim for a simple, elevated finish.

Flavor Notes & Pairings
This cocktail opens with bright citrus, followed by subtle depth and warmth that keeps it from feeling sharp or overly sweet. It’s crisp, refreshing, and easy to enjoy.
• With Bourbon: A take on the Old Fashioned, bold and smooth
• With Rum: Fresh, lightly sweet, tropical feel
For a non-alcoholic option, swap the spirit for sparkling water to create a refreshing citrus mocktail that still feels intentional and well-balanced.
