Soft drinks and ice round out an alcohol order, Coke for the brandy or whisky, lemonade for the vodka, ice to keep everything cold. We stock the soft drinks Namibian bars and households actually use as mixers, plus ice for parties and braais. Our regular range includes Coca-Cola in practical sizes (2 litre is the standard mixer format), other soft drink brands rotated through, and ice for parties and braais.

For mixers, the 2-litre Coke is the practical mainstay, enough volume to mix two bottles of spirits without running out. For larger gatherings, count 1 litre of mixer per 750ml of spirit as a baseline. Ice, buy more than you think. A bag of ice goes down faster than expected at a Namibian party, especially in summer. Two bags is rarely too many. If you have non-drinkers in the group, factor in dedicated soft drinks on top of the mixers, kids, designated drivers, and pregnant guests still want a drink and forgetting the soft drinks is a classic party error.
