Can you make a big batch of martinis? ›

To make a large batch of martinis, you therefore need to add water to the gin and vermouth — as long as you're not going to shake it to order (which voids the point of batching co*cktails). Then all you need to do is grab it from the freezer, pour into a glass, and garnish it with olives.

There are essentially two methods for batching a Martini. The first and the simplest involves scaling the recipe by the number of serves then stirring the drink with ice before serving. Multiply the recipe by the number of drinks, pour the liquids in a glass bottle with a seal and store in the freezer.

Then, all you have to do is combine the ingredients in a mixing bowl, give them a quick stir, and re-bottle them in an empty 750 mL bottle. (If you don't have an empty spirits bottle yet, you can of course use whatever freezer-safe vessel you like.) After about six hours, it will be cold enough to serve.

The Vesper, also known as the Vesper Martini, was invented by author Ian Fleming for his iconic British secret agent, James Bond.

A martini co*cktail will last for a while in the fridge or freezer, especially since it's such a spirit-forward drink. Both vodka and vermouth — the two main ingredients in a vodka martini co*cktail — are rather long lasting. Vodka will stay good pretty much indefinitely, so it's the vermouth you need to worry about.

The average-sized shaker can handle two or three drinks at once, depending on the volume. If you're using a small shaker, mix one drink at a time.

You don't want to be shackled to your martini shaker all night or spend your entire party churning out drinks from behind the bar, so making a batch of co*cktails in advance is the perfect solution to give your party-goers the drink they really want.
