Or things like Cointreau and Orgeat?

Basic mixers like sodas and tonics and such will last three to six months unopened. Cans last longer than bottles.

Basic drink add-ins like sugar syrup or grenadine, things that have no alcoholic content should be refrigerated after opening, period, no discussion.

Ooo, oo, I have question now. :)

Is it correct that a mixer is anything that is not the main ingredient? I can't believe that Cointreau and orgeat would be compared mixers. When I make my margaritas I use 2 1/2oz of Noble and 1oz of Cointreau or Grand Marnier, maybe a light squeeze of lime if I have it and a couple cubes. Would Cointreau or GM be considered the mixer?
And is Drambuie the mixer to scotch?

And what is that nasty grey spooge that is around the bottle cap and opening of the grenadine? YUCK!!
