Cocktail batch calculator<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">By now you may have noticed that all our recipes come with a handy built-in <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">cocktail batch calculator<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> 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><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>2. Measuring cups (and a steady hand!)<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">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><span data-contrast=\"auto\">batched cocktails<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, we recommend that you measure your liquids directly over your mixing container. Spillage can be a real downer.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>3. Mixing containers<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The ideal container in which to mix your <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">batch drink<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> 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 data-contrast=\"auto\">,<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> 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><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>4. Serving containers<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">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><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>5.\u00a0 Serving glasses<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">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><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Learn more:<\/span><\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/plan\/cocktail-party-menu-ideas\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">25 Creative Cocktail Party Menu Ideas for Your Next Event<\/span><\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>6. Cocktail shaker<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">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><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>7. Cocktail jigger + bar spoon<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">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><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Learn more:<\/span><\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/learn\/what-is-abv\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What is ABV, anyway?<\/span><\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How to convert a single cocktail recipe to a batch<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-5360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/485.-Batching-Cocktails_Converting-Recipes_Canva_MAFK8mOZxgw-woman-making-kombucha-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"A front view of a woman in a white shirt and black apron measuring liquid from a smaller container into a large container\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/485.-Batching-Cocktails_Converting-Recipes_Canva_MAFK8mOZxgw-woman-making-kombucha-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/485.-Batching-Cocktails_Converting-Recipes_Canva_MAFK8mOZxgw-woman-making-kombucha-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/485.-Batching-Cocktails_Converting-Recipes_Canva_MAFK8mOZxgw-woman-making-kombucha-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/485.-Batching-Cocktails_Converting-Recipes_Canva_MAFK8mOZxgw-woman-making-kombucha-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/485.-Batching-Cocktails_Converting-Recipes_Canva_MAFK8mOZxgw-woman-making-kombucha-1480x740.jpg 1480w, https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/485.-Batching-Cocktails_Converting-Recipes_Canva_MAFK8mOZxgw-woman-making-kombucha-760x380.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/485.-Batching-Cocktails_Converting-Recipes_Canva_MAFK8mOZxgw-woman-making-kombucha.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 532px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Batch <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">cocktail recipes<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> can be developed for just about every cocktail imaginable. All you need to do is prep everything before getting started.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Do the math<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">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><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Remember water (or plenty of ice)!<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Many cocktails have water as an ingredient. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Don\u2019t forget<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> 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><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">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><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Feel free to adapt your recipe as you go<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">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><span data-contrast=\"auto\">cocktail tastes<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. You may need to add a little more <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">citrus juice<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> like <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">lemon juice<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> to get the acidity right. Or you might find that it lacks a little sweetness, in which case you could add some <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">sugar syrup<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. Too sweet? Adjust the amount of water or <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">club soda<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. Let your tastebuds dictate the final tweaks.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Store your prepped drinks properly<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">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><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Batched cocktails<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> can last anywhere from a few days to several weeks if stored properly.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To maximise the shelf life of your <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">big-batch<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> cocktails, it&#8217;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><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">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><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">More inspiration<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/plan\/byob-party\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">How to Host a BYOB Party &amp; How to Attend One<\/span><\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What is the best kind of cocktails to batch?<\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Once you\u2019ve got the hang of making <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">large-batch cocktails,<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> it only takes a bit of practice and experimentation to find the best batch cocktail recipes to suit your hosting style and budget.
