Scaling Cocktails for a Party
Party Planning by the Numbers

Umrechnung

Einzelrezept × Portionen. Aperol Spritz (fuer 1): 90ml Prosecco + 60ml Aperol + Soda + Eis. Fuer 10: 900ml Prosecco + 600ml Aperol. Eine 0,7L-Flasche Spirituosen = 10-12 Standarddrinks.

Planung

Eis: 500g-1kg pro Person/Stunde. 20 Gaeste, 4h: 40-80 kg. Eis ist IMMER der Engpass — lieber zu viel. Maximal 2-3 Cocktail-Optionen — mehr verkompliziert und verschwendet Zutaten.

⚡ CalcWolf Insight

The #1 batch cocktail mistake: not pre-diluting. Professional bartenders add ice water to all batch cocktails. For citrus-based drinks (margaritas, daiquiris, whiskey sours), add the citrus juice no more than 2-3 hours before serving — it oxidizes and loses brightness. Keep batches refrigerated until service.
