Essential Big-Batch Cocktail Equipment
One thing these big batch cocktails have in common is they all use a large vessel in which to build them—either a pitcher or a punch bowl, a blender, or if the stovetop is necessary, a sauce pan. So put your fancy bar tools away for this class; we’re going big-batch, and that means stir, chill (or heat), and serve.
Pitcher or Punch Bowl
This is where you build the cocktail, adding ingredients to the vessel of choice before heating or chilling it.
Wooden Spoon
We use a long handled wooden spoon for reaching into the bottom of the pitcher to thoroughly mix a batch of cocktails. It can double as a muddler to release essential oils from herbs.
Measuring Cups
When a jigger just can’t handle the job, we turn to our liquid measuring cups to ensure we are measuring properly and creating balanced cocktails.
Fine Mesh Strainers
Mesh strainers are perfect for straining a pitcher of beverages in a flash.
