Cocktail Batch Scaler

To batch a cocktail for a party, multiply every ingredient by your guest count — a 2 oz spirit for one drink becomes 12 oz for six, with a little extra water added to replace the dilution that shaking or stirring each glass would normally add.

Batch quantities

21 oz total for 6 servings (3.5 oz per serving).

  • Gin: 12 oz
  • Lemon juice: 4.5 oz
  • Simple syrup: 4.5 oz

This total doesn't include ice dilution — stir or shake each serving over ice as usual, or add about 5.25 oz of water if you're serving straight from a pre-chilled batch.
