Mainly because if you ever just want to mix up a made-up drink on the fly, a dash of mix can really add life to a drink. For instance, I always keep a little Strawberry Daquiri mix, because just a bit adds great flavor from time to time. And I usually keep some Pina Colada mix too, because it can better hold up to really acidic drinks than can coconut milk. Like I often say, if you're a TikiCentral purist, then I'm speaking sacriledge. But if you're strapped for ingredients for feel like being whimsy, give it a try.
