Cocktail Batch Calculator
Enter your single-serving recipe's ingredient amounts (in ounces) and how many servings you need.
How this works
Batching a cocktail means multiplying every ingredient by the number of servings you want, keeping their ratio to each other identical to the original single-serving recipe. This preserves the drink's balance regardless of batch size.
Source: Standard proportional recipe scaling, the same method used for professional batch cocktail and bar service preparation.
Frequently asked questions
Should I add ice to the batch, or per glass?
Add ice per glass at serving time rather than batching it in — melted ice water dilutes a pre-mixed batch unpredictably, especially if it sits for a while before serving.
Can I batch a cocktail that includes soda water or champagne?
Batch the non-carbonated ingredients (spirits, juices, syrups, bitters) ahead of time, then top off each glass with the carbonated ingredient individually just before serving so it doesn't go flat.
How far ahead can I make a batched cocktail?
Spirit-forward batches with no dairy or fresh citrus can often be made a day or more ahead and refrigerated; batches with fresh citrus juice are best made within a few hours for the brightest flavor.
