The Essential Guide to Batching and Freezing Cocktails
Briefly

"The brilliance of the pre-batched cocktail lies in both its efficiency and consistency. Prepared and frozen ahead of time, the next day's ready-to-pour cocktail yields a richer mouthfeel than one stirred à la minute, all while effortlessly achieving that coveted ice-cold temperature-without any ice."
"Bypassing any stirring, shaking or straining, this plan-ahead approach can be applied to just about any spirit-forward recipe. Once nestled in the freezer overnight, the cocktails are on standby and ready to be poured at a moment's notice."
"Bottling your cocktail allows another, less-expected outcome as well-making room for subtle infusions that are otherwise impossible in single-serving drinks. Even a few dashes of rose water or spicy bitters can add floral notes or a hint of heat."
"Generally, cocktails that are spirit-forward and stirred are most conducive to pre-batching and freezing since their higher alcohol content prevents the drink from simply turning into an icy, slushy mixture."
