Frequently Asked Questions
Why add water to a batched cocktail?
Shaking or stirring with ice normally dilutes a drink by about 20 to 25%. Pre-batched drinks poured straight from the fridge skip that step, so the water is added up front.
How are the totals worked out?
Spirit and mixer ounces are multiplied by the number of servings, then water equal to your dilution percent of that total is added. Twelve drinks at 2 oz spirit and 1 oz mixer with 20% dilution make 43.2 oz.
Can I batch drinks with more than two ingredients?
Combine similar ingredients into the two fields (for example, all spirits into "spirit" and all modifiers into "mixer"), or run the calculator once per ingredient group.
