Batching

Pre-batch your cocktails.
Serve faster. Waste less.

Batching is one of the most underused tools in a bar program. Using Steinbok liqueurs to pre-mix cocktails in volume means faster service, consistent quality, and a lower cost per drink every time.

How it works

  • Mix your cocktail recipe in bulk using Steinbok 5L or 20L
  • Store in a chilled container behind the bar or in a fridge
  • Pour directly into the glass or over ice — no shaking, no measuring
  • Consistent taste every single pour, regardless of which staff member serves it
  • Dramatically faster service during peak periods

Why it makes sense

  • Lower cost per serve — 5L and 20L formats make batching economics work
  • Less waste — pre-batched cocktails reduce over-pouring and spillage
  • Fewer SKUs — one pre-batch covers hundreds of serves
  • Less staff training — anyone can pour a pre-batched cocktail correctly
  • Perfect for events, functions, and high-volume peak periods

By venue type

Which format suits
your venue?

Different venues have different volume and flexibility needs. Here's the right starting point for each.

Cocktail bar

Quality-focused · cocktail-led menus

Recommended 5L container

$1.04/nip

High cocktail volume, quality matters. 5L gives cost savings without the bulk commitment of 20L. Great for batching signature cocktails ahead of service for speed and consistency.

Pub / hotel bar

High volume · speed-focused

Recommended 5L or 20L

$1.04 – $0.98/nip

Volume is the priority. 5L is the best margin improvement with least operational change. If you're going through a 5L a week, the 20L drum pays for itself quickly and simplifies ordering.

Restaurant

Cocktails as secondary revenue

Start here 700mL

$1.20/nip

Lower cocktail volume means 700mL is the right starting point. Low commitment, full flavour range. Once volume picks up, move your top 2–3 SKUs to 5L for an immediate margin lift.

Club / events venue

Very high volume · batch programs

Recommended 20L drum

$0.98/nip

Under $1 per nip. Perfect for pre-batched cocktail programs at scale. The 20L drum paired with batching means maximum speed, minimum cost per drink, and fewer reorders.
