We need food, music, guests, and co*cktails to host a party. The food is easy; you can find bulk snacks just about anywhere. But you will need to make your own large batch co*cktails for parties.
Large batch co*cktails are perfect party recipes that can help you host the best party with the best party drink recipes. We all know what the party staples are; we’ve all hosted or have been to a party.
The guestlist is the first step, and it helps us figure out how much of everything else we need. For example, you have fifteen people coming to a party, so you buy food for 15 people. Food is often the first thing we get for the party we’re hosting.
However, food is easy; we can get platters anywhere or make some party platters ourselves. You can never go wrong with chips and dips as well. Then, there’s the music that helps set the mood.
You can easily use a thumbs-up playlist or put one together for the party. Lastly, we need drinks. We may need to refer back to our guestlist for this step as well. We need to know if kids will be present or not before we plan our drink menu.
Kids will need nonalcoholic party drinks, but the adults may want something a little more. Luckily, there are plenty of large batch co*cktails you could make. These co*cktail recipes are perfect for parties because you will end up with enough for everyone.
But you will also be able to offer more variety because the drinks are already premade. You can easily reach into the fridge for that pitcher of margaritas and pour a few cups for guests. The premade aspect of these recipes is what makes them even better.
You can make as many pitchers of a variety of party co*cktail recipes the day before the party. This way, you don’t have to worry about mixing drinks during the event.
Instead, you can enjoy your party with your guests, knowing you hosted the party with the best drinks on the menu.

Making co*cktails ahead of time is fine. You won’t lose alcohol content, and the flavors will get better after a day in the fridge. The problem will be finding a way to store them. Luckily, we have Amazon for that.
You can find pitchers or canisters that will be affordable and easy to keep in the fridge. This way, you have an entire menu of drinks ready when the party starts. The only thing you may need to set up on the day would be the garnish station for guests to add their favorite garnishes to their drinks.

Party co*cktail Station
One of the best party ideas is to make stations for different things. For example, we all love a taco station at a party that allows guests to build their tacos. We could apply that same idea to co*cktails as well.
However, large batch co*cktails will mean no bartender necessary. Instead, you could have a station with co*cktail glasses, pitchers of co*cktails, and garnishes. Guests can then pour themselves a drink and garnish it the way they prefer.
It’s an easy solution and is fun for guests to build their drinks exactly how they like them.
