Ten Big Batch Cocktails that will shorten your party prep time by hours
Fructose Speeds up Alcohol Metabolism by 80%
Although whatever you may try, the body can only eliminate a certain amount of alcohol every hour, and there is no quick cure for hangover.
However, recent studies show that fructose can boost alcohol metabolism by an impressive 80%, but the amount of fructose required to get that effect is huge. 100 grams of fructose would mean an average of 7 or 8 apples for you to eat to get rid of hangover.
Big Batch Cocktails and Fruit Punches, all easy to make in bulk
Delicate cocktails, masterly created by the skilled barman, layered, lit up and what not, are good, but when you are on your own and have to arrange for a party, nothing beats the Big Batch cocktails.
Fruit Punch as it is known, was intended to be drunk from a common jug or vessel, each one is poured out the drink in a glass and no one is occupied mixing each drink individually. Big Batch cocktails are those that don't require any special order of mixing, pouring or layering and can be mixed in big tumblers or pitchers in advance and poured over ice and if required garnished as necessary.
For a party where you are yourself responsible for the drinks, handling shakers, mixers and tossing bitters and lime wedges for every drink a guest requests is literally impossible and impractical. Either hire a professional or go for big batchn drinks.
The simple method to convert any recipe into a batch is, convert every ounce ( oz ) to a cup or every 30 ml to a cup, so say your drink has one liquor of 1 oz, you pour 1 cup of it and since 1 US Cup has 8 fl oz, you have the measure for a batch of 8 drinks straight away.
Similarly if a drink has a liquor measured 30 ml or 3 cl, you pour one cup of it too, and since 1 US Cup is about 240 ml, you have the measure for 8 drink again.
The Big Batch cocktails listed here can be measured and mixed just that way and those that require that little extra step, you'll notice, that, those are simple garnishes that can be handled without breaking a sweat.

Swedish Mojito Recipe
In a shaker muddle mint leaves, limes, and sugar. Add ice to shaker then pour in Vodka and triple sec. Shake and strain into a chilled, sugar-rimmed cocktail glass. Garnish with a mint leaf floating on top! Adjust amount of sugar you use by asking your customers their preference. Also great with splenda in substitution of sugar for people who are watching calories (made with splenda this drink is about 90 calories) or people who are diabetic. To make a quick version of this drink, use a lime squeezer and just tear up mint leaves, add sugar, Vodka and triple sec and shake away. Comes out just as good and no need to muddle! This drink uses Swedish Vodka like Absolut but any Vodka will do. It's really called a Swedish Mojito because the girl who developed it is Swedish.

A Cocktail Glass is a stemmed glass with an inverted cone bowl used to serve straight up cocktails. Altough the term Cocktail Glass is used interchangeably with Martini Glass, they differ slightly. a Martini Glass is purely conical while a Cocktail Glass is more rounded in shape and the Martini Glass is wider at the mouth and has a taller stem.
The martini glass has somewhat fallen out of favour in modern times due to its tendency to spill drinks, and the champagne coupe is sometimes used instead.Simple Guide to Cocktail Glassware
When there is no specific glass suggested for a cocktail, it's up to you to chose a glass.
Either you just go ahead and serve using any glass available to you following these simple rules
A. Go for Tall or Collins Glasses, Highball Glasses or even Hurricane Glasses for cocktails with loads of non-alcoholic mixes, and those that require crushed or cubed ices,
B. But if your cocktail is aromatic and liqueur based, and has a complex character that must reach the nose use a wide mouthed Cocktail Glass.
C. Red Wine Glasses for cocktails that have a Red Wine as the base spirit. Red Wine Glasses have a wider mouth and a long stem, so that the wine can be swirled an aerated to release the aroma while the long stem keeps the fingers away and avoid quick warming of the wine.
D. White Wine Glasses for cocktails with a White Wine base, since White Wines must not be aerated as much as a Red Wines, since they oxidise fast when in contact with air, White Wine glassware, in contrast to the wide mouthed bowl of a Red Wine Glassware, is narrow with a narrow mouth. A White Wine has much lighter and delicate notes and the narrow mouth and less surface area in contact with air helps retain the aroma.
E. If your cocktail is based on a Sparkling Wine like Champagne then a Flute Glass is more suitable since a Sparkling Wine is a White Wine with a secondary fermentation that produces the bubbles, and the narrow mouth flute prevents the bubbles from escaping.
F. If it's winter and you are in the mood for some hot cocktails like the Irish Coffee or Hot Toddy, go for the Irish Coffee Glass, it has a heat resistant glass and a handle.
G. Martini Glasses for Martinis or "Tinis" in general, but since these glasses have fallen off of favour these days, a Cocktail Glass will be good too.
H. IF you are serving Margaritas, don't look for Margarita Glass if you don't have one at home, Double Old Fashioned Glass or other glasses are more common these days, for serving Margaritas.
I. If you are the adventurous one, and are serving shots or shooters, of course the Shot Glass is your choice of glass,
J. Finally, if you are going all out and serving depth charges and car bomb shots, all you need is a Double Old Fashioned Glass or a Beer Mug for the beer and a shot glass to drop the bomb in.
