MOREHow-To Guide: Batching Cocktails
Ingredients:
- Spirits (whiskey, rum, gin, etc.)
- Liqueurs
- Non-perishable mixers (bitters, syrups)
- Fresh ingredients (if applicable, for last-minute addition)
- Mixing utensils
- Sealable containers (jars, bottles)
Instructions:
1. Choose Your Cocktail:
- Select a cocktail that suits batching, considering the ingredients' stability and the drink's overall flavor profile.
2. Calculate and Mix Ingredients:
- Scale up the individual cocktail recipe to fit your desired batch
size. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing container.
3. Stir or Shake:
- Stir or shake the batch thoroughly to ensure uniform mixing. Use a long spoon for stirring large batches.
4. Taste and Adjust:
- Taste the batch and adjust flavors if necessary. Remember that the flavors will meld and evolve over time.
5. Transfer to Containers:
- Pour the batch into sealable containers, leaving some space at the top to account for expansion if freezing.
6. Label and Date:
- Label the containers with the cocktail name and the date of preparation. This helps track aging times.
7. Store or Age:
- Refrigerate or freeze the batch if it contains perishable
ingredients. Otherwise, store it in a cool, dark place to maintain
freshness.
8. Serve:
- When ready to serve, pour the batch
into a mixing vessel, add any fresh ingredients, and stir or shake.
Serve as you would an individual cocktail.

Gold Tequila
Tequila is a distilled beverage, made only from a specific cultivar of Agave Tequilana called 'Weber Azul' or Blue Agave, native to the states of Jalisco, Colima, Nayarit and Aguascalientes in Mexico. The Blue Agave grows above an altitude of 1500 m and are juicy succulents with spiky fleshy leaves.
Tequila is made around the city of Tequila 40 miles northwest of Guadaljara, and in the Jaliscan Highlands of Central Western Mexico. Mexican laws state that Tequila can only be produces in the state of Jalisco and a few limited municipalities in the other Blue Agave growing regions.
Tequila is 35% to 55% Alcohol by Volume (70 and 110 U.S. proof), it must be at least 40% ABV to be sold as Tequila in the USA.
Tequila is a distilled derivative of the pre-Columbian fermented beverage called pulque, made from the Agave plant. When the Spanish conquistadors ran out of their brandy, they started distilling Agave to produce a distilled spirit. This by 1600s was what Don Pedro Sánchez de Tagle, the Marquis of Altamira, began mass-producing in his distillery near modern day Jalisco and came to be known as Tequila.Spiced Rum
Spiced Rum is either Dark or White Rum that has been steeped with herbs and spices to render additional flavour to it. Spices can range from Cinnamon and Black Pepper to Rosemary and Anise seeds.
Amaretto Almond Liqueur
Amaretto is a liqueur, a sweet Italian liqueur that originated in Saronno. There are different brands and each have their slight variations and ingredients vary from apricot kernel, bitter almonds, peach stones or almonds, all these are natural sources of the benzaldehyde that brings the almond flavour to the liqueur. Amaretto usually contains a 21% to 48% Alcohol by Volume.
Amaretto liqueur can be drunk straight or used as an ingredient in mixed drinks, or with coffee.
The name Amaretto originated from the Italian word amaro, meaning bitter. Amaretto's bitterness is derived from the drupe kernel and although the bitterness of Amaretto tends to be mild, sweeteners and at time sweet almonds are added to enhance the flavour of the final product.Coconut Milk
Coconut Milk is the opaque, milky-white juice of the coconut pulp, the opacity and rich taste of coconut milk is from the high oil content. Coconut milk is incredibly versatile and can be used in both sweet and savory applications in both desserts and cooking in Asian cuisine, and when used in cocktails it adds the milky thickness along with the tropical flavour.
Note: For ease of use and flexibility, buy Coconut Milk Powder and mix with desired amount of water and beat it to get either a cream or milk.Raspberry Juice
Ice is so obvious in most drinks, be it a straight drink or a mixed drink, that we often forget it's importance or even reason behind using a crystal clear good quality ice in a glass of whisky, or crushed ice in a tall glass to enjoy a cocktail.
Ice tempers a hard liquor, and as is in the case of whisky for example, if you prefer the flavours of whisky reach your nose without the hard note of spirit lingering around, or want to avoid the mild sting of a neat whisky, a cube of ice mellows the strength down a little and as it melts slowly, the aroma and flavour is released from the whisky slowly and makes whisky progressively weak, lingering and palatable.
Ice in Vodka helps release the little flavour a Vodka has, slowly, instead of letting the Vodka hit your nose all at once,
In mixed drinks, ice plays an important role in creating the perfect temperature a certain drink requires and bartenders use ice in several different ways, crushed ice for long drinks that will allow the cocktail to slowly water down like a Mint Julep, Moscow Mule, Rum Swizzle, Sherry Cobbler and other Tiki drinks, a large block or cubes of ice for drinks that are spirit heavy, such as the Old Fashioned, Negroni, and Manhattan

However, we have embarked on a journey of manually updating the relative strength of cocktails, their flavour profile and in the future aim at providing approximate calories per drink too.
Blue Tick Project:We aim at manually validating and verifying each cocktail in their current context and mark them as valid, where, a blue tick would mean that the recipe has been verified and is 100% accurate while an orange tick would mean the recipe has low confidence.
Where as a grey tick would mean that the recipe has not yet been manually validated or verified recently.
