32 Big-Batch Summer Cocktail Recipes To Help You Keep Your Cool
Make sure everyone has a drink in their hand at all times.

If you're wondering how to really stay cool this summer, have we got the solution for you: a signature big-batch cocktail. Why sweat playing bartender at your BBQ when you can just make a supersized Moscow mule punch? Best of all: You absolutely don't need to be an expert bartender to make any of these party-pleasing big-batch cocktails. Simple proportions (and layering your ingredients) are your friends here, especially with classics like Negronis and sangrias in your back pocket.
With our help, you'll have more time enjoying your own party and less time bonding with your cocktail shaker. Really any cocktail can be made in large batches when you mix it in the right order: alcohol first, then flavorings, then any fruit or bubbly at party time. Martinis and Negronis are one of our top no-fuss big-batch cocktails, as they don't use fruit juices, citrus, or bubbly. Planning on slushies? Consider using frozen fruit when blending to keep them smooth and not icy or watery.
Need enough cocktails for larger than a crowd (like a wedding)? A bowl of punch is easy to keep on stand-by and replenish when needed as is the case for our Blue Hawaiian-inspired boozy fishbowl or this super-simple Prosecco punch.
These big-batch summer cocktails are sure to refresh everyone at your summertime soirées, BBQs, and get-togethers. Whether you're a tequila crowd, wine fans, or more into rum, there's a big-batch cocktail with your name on it. Need to kick off the party quickly? We have easy shots for that.
