BATCHABLE COCKTAILS

23 Sep 2015 By

There are plenty of make-ahead options if you’re looking for a big-batch mixed drink recipes to serve at a gathering. We give you 11 recipes.

Now that you’re done figuring, er, freaking out over your Labor Day menu, there’s one more little (but very important) detail to iron out: What’s everyone going to drink? Before you start crying over muddled mint, we’ve got the solution: batchable cocktails.

And to make Labor Day more laborless, we have a slew of recipes that make all of your holiday guests happy, from sangria snobs to ice cream float fans.

① Basque Bellini
The boozy brunch titans—Bellini and sangria, respectively—clash in this crowd-pleasing white sangria from TT Drinks Editor Jim Meehan. Victory will be yours.

② Dark and Stormy Floats
This twist on the classic tiki drink doubles as dessert. Bonus: There’s rum in the ice cream, too.

 

 

③ Spiked Sun Tea
Sure, a little time in sunshine is what makes sun tea, well, sun tea, but the thing that makes this version of the Southern staple special is a slosh of gin and lemongrass-scented simple syrup.

④ Agua Fuerte
This floral, fizzy cocktail is for the watermelon margarita lovers out there, but here Meehan fancies up the drink with hibiscus flowers and melon balls.

 

 

⑤ Peach Jalapeño Sangria
Beat the heat with this spicy number: one big pitcher of sweet peach nectar and white wine spiked with searing jalapeños.

⑥ Green Tea Punch
Get your caffeine levels up for all-night partying—or lounging—with this green tea-infused punch swirled with white rum and fresh lime juice. Four Loko, who?

 

 

⑦ The Rib Tickler
Channel breezy French vibes with this bright orange thirst quencher, fortified with bittersweet Suze and flowery St-Germain.

⑧ Fish House Punch
For friends who never stray outside their old-fashioned orders, go classic with a rum- and peach brandy-spiked punch that’s nearly 300 years old.

 

 

⑨ Bourbon Slush
Indulge your inner kid with this lemon-orange slushy drink, but give it a very adult spin with a hefty pour of bourbon.

⑩ Isola del Sole
Maybe you didn’t make it to Sicily this summer, but you can drink as if you did with this Prosecco- and amaro-laced punch.

 

 

⑪ Beer Cassis
Beer nerds will get a kick out of this cassis- and French aperitif: a Byrrh-sloshed cocktail that’s made mostly with Belgian-style pale ale.
