4 Batch Cocktails That Will Make Your Summer
Here’s a conundrum: you’re having friends over for a summer get-together, and while you don’t just want to serve beer, you also don’t want to spend the whole evening making other people cocktails. Here’s a solution: we hooked up with Wild Turkey American Honey on four seasonal batch cocktail recipes. On each of ‘em, we’ve laid out ingredient specs to serve 8. Make a pitcher or two before people show up, store them in the fridge, and you’ll be able to spend your night doing absolutely nothing but receiving compliments.
