Intro: When Mixed Drinks Are the Ultimate Emotional Support Beverage
Let’s get one thing straight: your ex’s text saying “we should talk” is not a mixed drink. But the Manhattan you’re sipping? That’s a full-service bartender of emotional validation. Welcome to the sacred union of cocktails and chaos, where every shaker holds a punchline and every garnish is a passive-aggressive message to your therapist. If you’re here for mixed drinks that slap harder than a bad breakup, you’ve come to the right party. Let’s dive into the 7 cocktails that’ll make you forget your ex’s name (and their ugly mug).
1. The “I’m Fine, Actually” Martini
Kenneth and Margaret would be proud. This drink is for when you’re pretending you don’t need help but really, you just want a dry gin cocktail that smells like your ex’s cologne. Pro tip: Add a twist of lime and a side of eye-rolls at your reflection. Internal Link: Make Your Own Beer if you’re feeling crafty (and slightly unhinged).
2. The “We’re Not On A Break” Whiskey Margarita
A spicy, sweet, and confusing blend that mirrors your dating life. Tequila + whiskey? Yes. Lime juice + regret? Always. External Link: Sell your homemade chaos online via Dropt.beer—because your neighbors will definitely pay for your emotional mess in a can.
3. The “Netflix and Chill” Pina Colada

4. The “I’m Not Crying, You’re Crying” Old Fashioned
