Newcomer here but I had a question I couldn't find so this is my very first post on TC! I've started to host T(h)iki Thursdays with my friends making them drinks I've become obsessed with from Beachbum Berry and Martin Cate. But like I've read here and elsewhere, I end up making drinks the whole time and not hanging out (doesn't really bother me cuz I'm having a blast but my friends have started to comment). Are there any tips for making batches of mixes ahead of time that might ease some of the pouring steps? I know I've heard it's best to not pre-mix citrus because you want to juice as last minute as possible to keep it fresh. But is there a reason to not add the alcohol? Are there other ingredients that shouldn't be pre-mixed? And are there any rules about changing the ratios of ingredients when you start multiplying for batching? Thank you!
