Frequently asked questions
Should I batch ice into the recipe?
No, add ice fresh per serving or dilute the batch slightly with water instead to avoid over-dilution when melting.
How far ahead can I batch cocktails?
Spirit-forward batches (no juice or dairy) can be made a day ahead; those with fresh citrus are best made within a few hours.
