Don't hold your breath on return of mini's. Not anytime soon.
For those asking whats the difference between handing out minis with mixers vs. pre-mixed cans - It is COST.
In a mini you can see what brand it is and know what quality liquor you are getting. In a pre-mixed can you don't know whatever 2nd or 3rd grade alcohol went in there.

Its same principle as in fruit growing where top class portion is sold as fresh produce and bruised/damaged portion is sold as frozen.

I have seen process where vile smelling ethyl alcohol is made by fermentation of molasses and after a dose of chemicals to enhance the color and flavor.. voila.. even experienced tasters will rate it as low aged scotch. Not joking!
