A '''mixed drink''' is a [[soft drink]] to which [[alcohol]] (usually [[liquor]]) has been added, to give it an alcoholic content and change the flavouring. Many people make mixed drinks because they dislike the taste of straight liquor. There were very few mixed drinks in the [[modern]] style in [[period]], as anyone who could afford liquor would drink it straight up.

Certain mixed drinks are more or less [[SCA]]-specific, including ''Tranya'', ''Caidan Blue'' and ''Swamp Frog''. All three involve a commerical powdered [[soft drink]], such as ''Kool-Aid'' or ''Freshie'', to which large amounts of [[liquor]] (typically
[[vodka]]) have been added. In all three cases, the beverage is typically served in a clear glass or plastic [[pitcher]] with a [[glowstick]] floating inside, producing an eerie diffuse glow.
