Batching cocktails<\/span> can seem a little tricky at first blush, but it\u2019s fun and easy to do once you know the basics. The joy of batched drinks really comes into play when you\u2019re in charge of <\/span>cocktails for a party<\/span> and don\u2019t want to spend the whole night shaking up <\/span>single-serving<\/span> sippers. If you’re looking to make <\/span>cocktails for a crowd<\/span>, do the prep work beforehand so you can join in the revelry. Here’s how to do it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why are batch cocktails a thing?<\/h2>\n

\"Side<\/p>\n

In short \u2013 <\/span>convenience<\/span><\/i>. <\/span>Pitcher drinks<\/span> allow you to make large quantities of tasty beverages for parties or large gatherings. Another benefit is that it\u2019s cheaper to make cocktails in bulk. Buying ingredients in bulk saves money in the long run, and if you\u2019re new to making mixed drinks, having things ready to go when your guests arrive also takes some pressure off.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

7 Essential tools for making & serving big batch cocktails<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Here are a few required tools you\u2019ll need if you\u2019re planning on making large quantities of mixed drinks ahead of time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Cocktail batch calculator<\/h3>\n

By now you may have noticed that all our recipes come with a handy built-in <\/span>cocktail batch calculator<\/span> that allows you to upscale cocktail ingredient volumes at the click of a button. To find out how much of each ingredient you need, you simply click on the recipe that tickles your fancy, count how many guests you\u2019ll be serving, and go to town.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Measuring cups (and a steady hand!)<\/h3>\n

Measure your ingredients carefully to ensure that you make the most of every drop, and that everything comes together in a tasty way. Insider tip? When making <\/span>batched cocktails<\/span>, we recommend that you measure your liquids directly over your mixing container. Spillage can be a real downer.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Mixing containers<\/h3>\n

The ideal container in which to mix your <\/span>batch drink<\/span> will differ from one cocktail to the next. In the case of drinks like the Negroni, which consists of spirits and liqueurs, it\u2019s easy and convenient to pre-batch in a big mason jar, empty liquor bottle<\/span>,<\/span> or clean growler (using a funnel) that can be stashed in the fridge until it\u2019s time to serve. On the other hand, sparkly drinks like a French 75 are best batched in a big pitcher or punch bowl just before guests arrive.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Serving containers<\/h3>\n

Decide how you want to serve your batch cocktails and select a suitable container. For example, a cut-glass spirit decanter is a nice option for spirit-forward drinks that only need to be poured over the rocks. On the other hand, frosted cocktails like a Pi\u00f1a Colada are best poured from a pitcher with a wider spout that won\u2019t cause the icy drink to \u2018gloop\u2019 over and spill.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Serving glasses<\/h3>\n

Prep your serving glasses ahead of time as well. Frosted cocktail glasses are always a treat, so if you have space in your freezer, get them in there at least 30 minutes before your guests arrive. Similarly, if a drink calls for a sugar or salt rim, you can get those done beforehand, so all you need to do is pour and serve.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Cocktail shaker<\/h3>\n

Certain drinks, like an ice-shaken Strawberry Daiquiri, can be mixed up just before serving. In cases like these, a good cocktail shaker comes in handy. Otherwise, you can always use a mason jar, or any jar with a tight-fitting lid.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Cocktail jigger + bar spoon<\/h3>\n

When serving from a pitcher, it\u2019s still wise to use a cocktail jigger to ensure that your guests get a well-balanced cocktail that\u2019s not too heavy in ABV. It also helps to have a bars poon (or any spoon, really) handy to give spirit-based drinks a nice stir before handing it over.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to convert a single cocktail recipe to a batch<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Batch <\/span>cocktail recipes<\/span> can be developed for just about every cocktail imaginable. All you need to do is prep everything before getting started.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Do the math<\/h3>\n

If you can\u2019t find a ready-to-go pitcher recipe for a drink you\u2019d like to make in bulk, use the calculator function on The Mixer UK, to help you do the math. Use these calculations to figure out how much of each ingredient you\u2019ll need to serve a crowd.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember water (or plenty of ice)!<\/h3>\n

Many cocktails have water as an ingredient. <\/span>Don\u2019t forget<\/span> to calculate how much water you want in each drink serving, multiply it by the number of servings, just as you did for all the other ingredients in the original recipe.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A good rule of thumb is to add 10 to 15% water as calculated according to the pre-dilution volume of the rest of the ingredients. I.e., approximately 10 to 15ml of water added to each 90ml drink. If you\u2019re making a drink that will be served with ice in the pitcher or glass, start with a slightly lower dilution \u2013 the ice will melt and dilute the drink over time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Feel free to adapt your recipe as you go<\/h3>\n

Figuring out your ideal batched version of a cocktail recipe takes some trial and error. Once you\u2019ve combined all the ingredients, see how the <\/span>cocktail tastes<\/span>. You may need to add a little more <\/span>citrus juice<\/span> like <\/span>lemon juice<\/span> to get the acidity right. Or you might find that it lacks a little sweetness, in which case you could add some <\/span>sugar syrup<\/span>. Too sweet? Adjust the amount of water or <\/span>club soda<\/span>. Let your tastebuds dictate the final tweaks.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Store your prepped drinks properly<\/h3>\n

The shelf life of batched cocktails can vary depending on several factors, including the ingredients used, the method of storage, and the specific cocktail recipe. <\/span>Batched cocktails<\/span> can last anywhere from a few days to several weeks if stored properly.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To maximise the shelf life of your <\/span>big-batch<\/span> cocktails, it’s important to store them in clean, airtight containers in the refrigerator. Adding a small amount of citric acid or tartaric acid can also help to extend the shelf life by preventing bacterial growth.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you intend to keep cocktail mixes frozen in the freezer for future use, it\u2019s a good idea to label it clearly, and note the ingredients you\u2019ve used.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the best kind of cocktails to batch?<\/h2>\n

Once you\u2019ve got the hang of making <\/span>large-batch cocktails,<\/span> it only takes a bit of practice and experimentation to find the best batch cocktail recipes to suit your hosting style and budget. If you are completely new to the game, we recommend you first try your hand at a few <\/span>easy large-batch cocktails<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are a few of our favorite newbie-friendly batch cocktail recipes, and some insider tips to pull it off with ease:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Paloma<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Pink<\/p>\n

The pretty <\/span>Paloma<\/span><\/a> is a zesty classic that always goes down a treat. To make a batch, combine the <\/span>Espol\u00f3n Tequila Blanco<\/span><\/a>, fresh grapefruit juice, lime juice and agave nectar in a small pitcher and mix. When you serve it to your guests, add 90ml of the pre-made Paloma to a glass over ice, and top it off with club soda. A salted rim is a nice touch and fresh grapefruit round it off perfectly as a garnish.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pi\u00f1a Colada<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Frozen<\/p>\n

The creamy, island-style <\/span>Pi\u00f1a Colada<\/span><\/a> can be served blended or on the rocks. We prefer to make a blended batch because the ingredients combine well when blitzed. Simply add all the ingredients to a blender and pulverise until smooth. It\u2019s best practice to start with less ice and keep adding until you reach the preferred texture and consistency.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Strawberry Daiquiri<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Group<\/p>\n

The flirty <\/span>Strawberry Daiquiri<\/span><\/a> is traditionally made with rum and offers a full berry sweetness and zingy lime finish, making it the ideal drinks-pairing for a variety of snacks. This drink can be served blended but serving it on the rocks is a little simpler when you\u2019re going big batch.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Add all your ingredients to a large container, then funnel it into fridge-friendly bottles. This keeps for up to two days in the fridge. Once you are ready to pour, add 90ml of the pre-made Daiquiri to a shaker with ice. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds, then pour into a frosted coupe glass. If you are serving more than one guest at a time, you can shake two to three drinks at once. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

French 75<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Sparkling<\/p>\n

A high-octane twist on the classic <\/span>Mimosa<\/span>, the <\/span>French 75<\/span><\/a> combines <\/span>Bulldog Gin<\/span><\/a>, lemon juice, and <\/span>sparkling wine<\/span> like Champagne or Prosecco. To make a big batch, combine all ingredients in a punch bowl and serve over ice in a glass of your choosing. Garnish with a lemon twist. It is best to add your sparkling wine just before your guests arrive, so the drink is nice and bubbly when served.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Negroni<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Negroni<\/p>\n

For autumn<\/span> batch cocktails,<\/span> we love a <\/span>Negroni<\/span><\/a>. Simply add all the ingredients to a container of your choice and store in the fridge until you are ready to use it. Since the drink contains very stable ingredients with a long shelf-life, it will stay good for up to a week or more. When you are ready to serve, pour 90ml of the mixture over ice in a rocks glass, and garnish with an orange twist.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
