Single-serve recipe

FAQ

Why add water? +
A stirred Manhattan or Negroni gets 20% water from ice during preparation — diluting before serving. Skip the water and pre-batched cocktails taste hot/harsh.
Carbonated drinks? +
Don't pre-batch with the sparkling component (Champagne, soda, tonic). Pre-batch the base, add the sparkler at serve time so it stays bubbly.
Storage? +
Spirit-only batches (Manhattan, Negroni) refrigerate for weeks. Anything with citrus or dairy: same-day only.
