In "One for the Road", one of the guys takes a quick
run at a topic for your reading pleasure. Themes will vary, from classic
drinks to hand-crafted ingredients and creations of their own, or
whatever suits them at the moment. This go around, John discusses batched drinks and a new A&T original: The Margarita O' Love.
Background
Over the past couple of years I've been experimenting more and more with pre-made drinks batched at varying scales. This has included traditional punches - as documented on this very blog back in 2014 - batched cocktails served from dispensers (a quasi-punch), and pre-bottled cocktails. Having a few tried and true recipes in your repertoire can be super useful when you don't want to spend your entire evening behind the bar, or if you're working a large event and want guests to have easy access to a drink without having to wait in line for one that is made to order.
