Cocktail Batching Calculator cover

Scale any cocktail for a crowd, with the water already in it.

A stirred Negroni is about a fifth water by the time it hits the glass. Pre-batch without that water and every drink is a punch in the mouth; guess it and they are thin. This puts the right amount in, by method.

WHAT IT DOES

  • Twelve classics built in (Negroni, Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Martini, Daiquiri, Margarita, Whiskey Sour, Espresso Martini, Aperol Spritz, Gin and Tonic, Paloma, Mojito) or type any recipe
  • Dilution by method: stirred 22%, shaken 25%, built 12%, blended 40%; or serve over ice without it
  • Final ABV, pure alcohol per drink, and whether the batch can go in the freezer without freezing
  • Bottles to buy, rounded up per bottle size, cost in whole bottles and exact cost per drink
  • Warnings: citrus juice goes in on the day, fizz goes in the glass
  • Party planner: guests, hours, drinks per guest per hour, menu split, one merged shopping list, ice and garnish estimates
  • Millilitres or fluid ounces, any currency

Cocktail Batching Calculator

scale any recipe for a crowd with the dilution built in, ABV, bottles to buy and a party shopping list

Pick or type the recipe and how many drinks. Out comes every ingredient scaled, the water that replaces the ice dilution so a pre-batched Negroni tastes like a stirred one, the final ABV and whether it can live in the freezer, whole bottles to buy and the cost per drink. Then plan the party: guests, hours, a menu split across cocktails, and one merged shopping list.
