The sweet toothed with love these easy batched holiday cocktails
Create big batches of up to 32 servings, then kick back and enjoy your party
sweet batched holiday cocktails skrewball 6 2020 241 1

Here at The Manual we're big fans of batched cocktails, especially when you're hosting a large group. Being able to mix your cocktails in advance leaves you free to attend to all the other business of hosting, like greeting people, preparing food, and having some fun yourself instead of running back and forth to the kitchen all night as you frantically try to make more drinks.

That's especially useful during the holidays, when you might be hosting a more elaborate gathering and you'll benefit immensely from having drinks pre-prepared and ready to go. But it's important to pick the right cocktails for batching if you're hoping to please all of your guests. If you're a cocktail enthusiast, you might enjoy bitter or complex drinks the most, but your average guest may well be happier with something sweet, tasty, and festive. So embrace that and lean into the sweetness for holiday drinks -- and remember that sweet things can be delicious as well.
