Batch cocktails allow for easy drink preparation at parties or after work, eliminating the need for constant mixing. However, they often lack proper dilution, which is crucial for flavor. Expert Katie Stryjewski suggests adding 25% water to the mix and storing it cold to achieve the right balance. The ratio of ingredients for individual cocktails remains the same when batching, provided dilution is accounted for. Spirit-forward cocktails yield the best results, while those with fresh ingredients should be made closer to serving time for optimal taste.
"A good rule of thumb is to add 25% water. Just be sure to store it in the refrigerator so that it gets cold as well as diluted."
"What works for an individual cocktail will also work for a batched cocktail. Keep your proportions the same, and it should taste great."
