Batching
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.

By venue type
Different venues have different volume and flexibility needs. Here's the right starting point for each.
Cocktail bar
Quality-focused · cocktail-led menus
$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
$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
$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
$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.
