saline solution ，How to do it？

[@therealpepeu]

I made batches of Kula Negroni and Piña Colada in 1.5 liter PET bottles for Midsummer. Turned out great!

[@Sven_K.]

@@lovekj88 I think he does a 20% saline solution, from my understanding that would be 20g salt mixed with 80g of water which gives you round about 100g of saline solution.

A couple weeks ago, I was that girl in the sun with the sad mint serving 50 people as fast as I could. Thanks Kevin, can't wait to try this out!

[@KevinKos]

Happy to help! Hopefully they appreciated your efforts and you didn't have to mess around with any eggs. No more sad mint days in the future, cheers!

[@KennethJAdams]

This is the best timing ever! I'm having a party next week and was looking for some ideas to pre-batch cocktails - the Old Fashioned you've made before is going to be one of them. I even bought a book about pre-batching cocktails, but didn't have the recipes I was looking for - whiskey sour, specifically. Great video, Kevin!

[@KevinKos]

Awesome! I am glad this will be helpful to you. Cheers!

[@phantomhandofcocktailtime6911]

With how fast these cocktails can be served, we can spend even more time together 😉.

[@mattia_carciola]

That's really useful, another unsaid advantage is that it's even easier to keep everything fresh this way!

[@nrtallarida]

This channel DESERVES more subs and views. Such good stuff, guys!

[@KevinKos]

Cheers!

[@flutterymuffins]

Its truly a pleasure to see you come up with inventive and practical cocktail advancements, you always have something new and clever to share^^ Cheers to you and your team!

[@KevinKos]

Glad you find it practical and inventive!thank you! Cheers!

[@MatthewBlackwell1015]

Love the pre-batching. Makes it so much easier at parties to not just be stuck behind the bar the whole time. I batch some clarified (milk-washed) bourbon sours for some of my friends every year. One friend can't do milk proteins anymore so I tried out an orange old fashioned that turned out great.

[@samsharma1660]

Can confirm milk washed punches are the way to go for that. Made 2 different ones for a party and I had to do nothing once I brought them in.

[@crisfranco71]

This is great and perfect for prebatching awesome drinks for a full day out on the boat. I can’t wait to try some of these.

[@KevinKos]

Nice! Enjoy!

[@JoshRzepkaMusic]

Amazing, Kevin! Great way to have terrific drinks with a crowd. I've considered batching some cocktails and bottling them (backfill with a little inert gas - or a few drops of liquid nitrogen - just prior to capping), but just spirits, nothing perishable like citrus/egg. Seems like a way to have even more ready to go at the flip of a bottle cap. Probably will do that once I pick up a mini barrel and start experimenting with barrel aging cocktails.

[@KevinKos]

Prebatching is super helpful and making sour cocktails like this can save you a lot of time. I am glad you are experimenting with pre batches cocktails and that you will even start barrel-age cocktails. Keep me updated on that 😊 Cheers!

[@jphodge]

The second I watched your super syrup video I had this exact same idea. I’m really glad to see I was on the right track with my theory crafting.

[@filizsommer2862]

OMG! I felt like you made this video for me 😄Thank you Kevin 🙂

[@shannonkayatani3001]

Bravo, guys & congratulations on 100! Mahalo for all and especially this episode🤙

[@215chinolatino]

Kevin thank for this video I pre batch the mojito, Margarita, & I also did a Singapore sling for my birthday! I Was making the drinks which was sooooo easy. I thank you for doing the hard work to make it easy for the regular person to do!

[@KevinKos]

That's great, glad I could help you have a great time! And happy belated birthday, Louis!

[@bc0838]

He did all three!

[@andrewnoah6403]

Wow!! This is going to be a huge game changer for me! Thanks, Kevin!

thank you!

[@nicolahohler3578]

Hi Kevin. If kept in the fridge, how long would these cocktails last?

[@user-en9fs2mh9y]

Does anyone who has made the recipes know how long they last in the fridge?

[@yosub1225]

you are genius. I always inspired by your contents. thanks!

[@jiddy30]

[@emb8642]

Fantastic video. As always, the quality is superb and the content is practical yet ingenious! I will definitely be making these to take these to dinner parties!

[@KevinKos]

Thank you! Enjoy your dinner parties! Cheers!

I just found your channel and I'm hooked, thank you YT algorithm!

[@KevinKos]

[@admcmlxxii2662]

My doubt was the oxidation of citrus fruits, but it was cleared up for me. Thanks also for the vegan variant and the double schecer; I didn't know them. Un saluto dall' ITALIA.

[@aleskokol2255]

Congrats and cheers on your Milestone! You are great!

[@KevinKos]

Thank you for your long-term support, Aleš, it means a lot!

[@joshgladfelter9597]

Love the whiskey sour idea. Looking forward to trying it

[@tallanvor]

One of my favourite bre-batch drinks is from Germany and is called "Wegmische" (mobile mixed drink for the way to whatever). Take a 1l bottle of coke, dispose of about 1/3, fill up with rum or bourbon or some brandy (Asbach works quite well). Put in the fridge until you are 15min from leaving and for the last 15min put in the freezer. Ready to rock'n'roll! And you can adjust the recipe as you like or have to. Be adventurous! Try it with Fanta! Or generic random softdrink! :D

[@javiervigil2511]

I feel this is a culmination of everything we've seen so far. Three of my favorite cocktails, mmmm😋😁👍

[@KevinKos]

Cheers!

[@DouglasSantos-si5df]

After your videos I never used a jigger to prepare my drinks again, just a coffee scale. Volumetrics no more! James Hoffmann style!

[@toddwascom1335]

Amazing work! I truly enjoy your episodes and look forward to seeing you hit your next milestone of 100K subs!

[@KevinKos]

Thanks a lot! Cheers!

[@expatdu5409]

I love this guy. Time saver

[@Michael.T.]

Lep pozdrav is Kanade. This video was more my speed. I CAN do this. Your last few videos were like watching Da Vinci teach a tutorial to a 1st year art student. The art student will appreciate how beautiful is the work of art that Da Vinci is painting, but will never hope to recreate his masterpiece. Both types videos are wonderful. I love watching how far the cocktail experience can go when you are preparing a masterpiece and I also love when you bring it back to my level so I can try it at home.

[@KevinKos]

Thank you so much for these words! I appreciate it! Lep pozdrav v Kanado! Cheers!

Literally a savior video for a gathering we’re having tomorrow. Did I mention lime super juice will be a prominent ingredient?? Thanks for the great content!

[@KevinKos]

Happy to hear that! Cheers!

[@boozeontherocks]

Pre=Batching can save a lot of time. Great idea Kevin :)

[@KevinKos]

Thank you!

[@1234LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL]

What a great idea, especially now for summer time. Do you have any ideas on how the super syrup could be made with less sugar in order to use it e.g. for an Amaretto Sour where you normally wouldn't add more than a barspoon of simple syrup due to the sweetness of the Amaretto? Could the sugar content just be reduced or will that have a negative impact on the foam?

[@johannesrost8142]

Have you tried it? How did it turn out?

[@spinksTinks]

You should remove the lime pedicel and cut wedges the other way (lime in half around it's waist not head to toe). Not only looks better as you see the segments but is way easier to squeeze if required 🤙

[@zazovecchi]

So helpful Kevin thank you

[@Jason_DC]

Hi Kevin, Jason here, really big fan! 😎 I wanted to ask you some questions, how long does a bottle of a pre-batched cocktail last? & If you freeze them, would these ingredients get ruined or alter the taste? All the best!

[@juri5109]

wow thank you! i love your cordials! i ll try them all! will you post a recipe of a pre batched basil smash aswell?

[@KevinKos]

I might do the basil smash too. Until then use the same recipe as my Mojito (without soda water)

[@374jr]

Everything looks delicious 🤤

[@KevinKos]

Thank you!

[@jameshegarty99jh]

Really enjoying these videos, given me a new perspective to bartending! Just wondering where you got the bottles from ?

[@Reitenbakhvladimir]

Ну что за молодец 💥💥💥👍

[@Dbill69000]

Nice ! I'd love to see clover club recipe to pre-batch some !

[@KevinKos]

Stay tuned, my friend ;)

[@MrMufasa1990]

Hello, thanks for the recipes. For how long I can keep them in the fridge?

[@MostlyRCSlovakia]

Nice one, will save this video for later when I will be hosting a party. I would however like to see how to pre-batch Mai Tais. Just for myself, I love them ;)

[@KevinKos]

Great! Cheers!

[@janhuffmeier7228]

Once I´ve tried prebatching Mai Tais using milk filtration. It was good for about 3 Weeks in the refigerator.

[@matyaszobel9224]

Hey Kevin! Where did you get these Empty Bottles From? Maybe You have a Link for them as well?

[@dawgvet7756]

I’m truly amazed by your creativity. This is perfect timing since I’m planning a large cookout but I’m also making the drinks. For a Pisco Sour, would the volume of Pisco added be the same as the Whiskey sour? Or what criteria would be used to adjust volumes? Fantastic video.

[@KevinKos]

Yes, same ratios, just swap pisco (Peruvian in this case) and I'd use lime. Enjoy the cookout and cheers!

[@abland5901]

Pretty much any sour works with the ratio in ounces: 2, .75, .5 - spirit, acid, sweetener. And now I want a pisco sour!

[@butopiatoo]

Wow. I wish you had a bar in Austin, Texas. You are so entertaining and a master of cocktails. Do you actually have a bar in Slovakia where someone can come in and buy a drink you make?

[@beckerzineo]

Genius work sir, I'm still to make the super syrup so I can get that foamy Amaretto Sour my girlfriend loves without the eggs hehe

[@KevinKos]

Thank you! Let me know how that works out! What's your usual recipe for the Amaretto Sour?

[@stepansimanek5300]

Every time I watch your amazing video I need to run and grab a drink, cause it gets me thirsty :D

[@KevinKos]

Haha, nice! Cheers, my friend!

[@nickmonts]

Iade some pre batches for thanks giving and have lots of leftovers. How long will they last?

[@KevinKos]

Use it in one week.

[@GoldenKnightsFan_84]

I just found your channel through reddit & my favourite cocktail is an espresso martini, would it be possible for you to make a pre batch video on the espresso martini please.

[@tomasnilsson866]

Fantastic content!

[@KevinKos]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@alara626]

Can you put these in the freezer or just the fridge?

[@dragonwill797]

If you were to keep these over a long period of time how long would you say pre-batched cocktails will last when refrigerated?

[@KevinKos]

Use it in a week. Cheers!

[@ericl.9913]

I can put this to use tomorrow! Letsgo!

[@Theincrediblespud]

How long does the lime and mint cordial and the pre-batched milk into last? Perhaps I could vacuum seal it for a longer shelf life

[@aleordnaj]

Is it possible to make the lime. And mint cordial with out malic acid?

[@stavbernaz9080]

Is it possible to make without super juices? Obviously to keep it for less time in the freezer (like to for a week or so)

[@liljack0234]

Can I make these without the alcohol inside? So that you can get more out of a bottle at a busy bar!

[@gon1127]

We started pre-batching our margaritas about a month and a half ago. Took it on a trip to an AirBnB by the coast and enjoyed the ease of use. Also pre-batched some Improved Whiskey cocktails, as well. Both ended up working out great. And no additional clean up during the trip. Do you happen to have a link or a style name of the bottles you were using for the final products? I've been looking for larger bottles for pre-batching. Great stuff Kevin and team!

[@KevinKos]

Hi. I bought it at some local winery store. Yes, prebatching can save you a lot of time. Cheers!

[@planecrazyish]

Brilliant 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@pietroboni2553]

Premium quality content. What about freezing? Can it work?

[@azerbouf]

Looks awesome! I am making similar whiskey sour batch almost as you, but I use only lemon/whiskey and simple syrup. Filling big bottle as a pre-batch and keeping it on a fridge, then drinking it whenever I want. Why do you need a Saline solution in the cocktail and what does it do?

[@ptypablo]

My mojito cordial didn't clarify, my scale doesn't do decimals so when it got to a gram I just took a little agar out till the 1 turned to 0

[@diptarkaroy7903]

Thanks a lot for your videos. If I want to add water and chill during batching so that I do not need to shake later, how much water should I use?

[@KevinKos]

It would help if you shook it because you add aeration that is much needed in sours. But for building it, you may want to target 30-40% of water (dilution).

[@Kevlar830]

Will you do Super Juices recipes for other citrus/fruits than the 4 you've already made ? :D Nice vid btw, big fan ! :)

[@KevinKos]

Maybe in the future 😊🥂

[@spielesteven6831]

That ending though :D

[@KevinKos]

🤣🤣

[@johnbushur6080]

I tried the margarita and it does tend to separate quite a bit, but everything goes back into solution if a good shake, just leave enough headroom in the bottle and you’re good to go.

[@benykristo]

Nice video ! Daiquiri pre-batched please :D

[@nikitadostoevsky4609]

I don’t have friends. How long a bottle can stay in the refrigerator?

[@boykalmado5340]

how many days you can store the pre batched cocktail?

[@alexandermunoz7783]

I've been doing this since your super juice episode 😁

[@KevinKos]

Nice!

[@shawnmartin9790]

Love the idea, this has convinced me to try super syrup. Can you confirm the methylcellulose is the E461 variety? Snooping around the website on the jar seems to indicate it is. Cheers!

[@KevinKos]

Yes, that's what it says on mine too. Mike used the F50, but I think it's different naming in the US and EU, can't confirm 100%. Enjoy mixing and cheers!

[@jewelnerd8887]

Question: my favorite cocktail is the Sidecar, yet each bar I go to seems to make it slightly different by adding or changing the original recipe. My question is; What in you opinion, is the absolute best & tastiest sidecar recipe? 🤔

[@rossination]

In our house we make sidecars just like margaritas, but swap lemon and bourbon.

[@KevinKos]

I made an episode about Sidecar, where I did a classic and verjuice version. The classic recipe is the one I prefer when making Sidecars.

Batch Cocktails by Maggie Hoffman is a great book to pick up to get ideas for parties.

[@apaul7502]

hey kevin, great video as usual, just wondering why you use ice in your whiskey sours? usually i strain into a chilled coupe glass. is it because in this video its hypothetically for a summer party?

I like to make Whiskey Sours in a rocks glass although it can be made served up too. Cheers!

[@jaquemateu]

Buenas tardes. ¿Podrías poner subtítulos en español? Saludos y gracias.

Any thoughts on how to pre-batch a Ramos? We can obviously use the super juices and syrup, but what about the heavy cream?

[@KevinKos]

So far it's impossible to make it. Until we found out how to make a Super Cream 😄

[@fedrickchuaweijie4980]

Do we need to chill the pre-batched whisky sour/ margarita before shaking it with ice? Was curious if it was chilled will it have enough dilution from the shake.

[@KevinKos]

It's best to keep them in a fridge so the ingredients stay fresh for longer. In this case, it has to be shaken for a bit longer.

[@fedrickchuaweijie4980]

[@apaul7502]

"there has got to be a better way" got me rolling lmao

[@atavax311]

no instructions for saline solution? just wondering what kind of ratio yours is.

[@KevinKos]

It's 20% saline solution, so 20 g of salt dissolved in 80 g of water. 1:4 ratio.

[@TomassWood4]

Is the Whiskey + Lemon Juice (super juice) going to be fridge stable if we exclude the super syrup? I can buy egg whites in a yoghurt packet and just add when it's time to shake, which is a lot easier than making super syrup.

[@KevinKos]

Sure, it should work just fine. And that's also a great way to streamline your work process. Cheers!

[@JAG457]

Dumb question. Where can I get a good saline solution if I don’t want to make it

Content, presentation and aesthetics are top shelf. One remark though: I can still not watch a long time because the sequences are cut so seamlessly, it feels like you’d just be rambling on without any breaks and with the same tone. Personally I’d prefer a bit more „natural“ editing
