¿Cómo se dice 'mixer' en español?

Question

Does anyone know a Spanish word for "mixer", as in "What kind of mixer do you want with your gin, cranberry juice or soda" ? This website's dictionary says that the Spanish word for mixer (in drink) is refresco, but this doesn't make sense to me. Additionally, when I look up refresco on this website's dictionary, as well as the RAE, I get nothing to confirm this. Thank you for any help you might be able to give.

Answer 1

"mezcla" is what it is called in CR when referring to "mezcla para Margarita".

I also found this

¿Qué mezclar con vodka para que esté rico?

Talking with friends "ligue" is also used for mixer.

Answer 2

Refresco doesn't really seem convey the same meaning as "mixer" in English. Refresco is more of a soft drink, soda, beverage etc. Mixers can be juices, soda water, margarita mix, etc.

I'm sorry that I don't have a better answer than Goyo gave from the RAE, which is the official source.

Answer 3

The Collins Dictionary also says Refresco

So also does the Chicago.
