Batching Cocktails Made Easy With Billi
If you’re hosting a dinner party, instead of being stuck behind the bar mixing drinks for guests, you can pour a perfectly balanced cocktail straight from a pre-chilled bottle. No last-minute adjustments, no diluted flavours, and no flat spritzers.
Pre-batching cocktails is the best solution for effortless entertaining, if done correctly. The challenge is many home bartenders struggle with maintaining balance, fizz, and freshness in their pre-mixed drinks. This is where Billi’s instant filtered boiling, chilled, and sparkling water changes the game, making batching easier, more precise, and far more consistent.
Why Most Home Bartenders Struggle with Pre-Batching
Pre-batching cocktails isn’t as simple as scaling up a single recipe. Without precise dilution, carbonation control, and proper storage, even the best cocktail can turn into a flat or unbalanced version of itself.
Common Pre-Batching Issues
- Inconsistent dilution – Ice melts unpredictably, altering the strength of the cocktail.
- Flat sparkling cocktails – Pre-mixing fizzy ingredients often leads to disappointing results.
- Deterioration of fresh ingredients – Citrus juice oxidises, herbs lose their brightness, and syrups become overly sweet.
- Inefficient preparation – Boiling syrups, brewing tea infusions, and cooling down large batches can take unnecessary time.
These mistakes often mean rushed fixes, wasted ingredients, or drinks that fail to impress. The solution? Instant, precisely controlled water for every stage of cocktail preparation.
How Billi’s Instant Filtered Water Solves These Problems
Our instant boiling, chilled, and sparkling water systems provide the consistency, efficiency, and precision needed for flawless pre-batched cocktails.
Boiling Water for Syrups & Infusions
- Speed up syrup-making and tea infusions without waiting for kettle boiling.
- Extract citrus oils instead of relying on fresh juice, which degrades quickly.
- Create herbal infusions without muddling, avoiding unwanted bitterness.
Example: Instead of fresh lemon juice (which oxidises and turns bitter), infuse a simple syrup with boiling water and lemon peel, preserving the citrus aroma and ensuring a shelf-stable mix.
Chilled Water for Perfect Dilution
- Remove the guesswork from ice melt by adding precisely measured chilled water.
- Pre-chill batched cocktails to serve them instantly, without needing excessive ice.
Example: A pre-batched Negroni stays perfectly balanced for weeks when diluted accurately with chilled filtered water, ensuring consistency from the first pour to the last.
Sparkling Water for Fresh Carbonation
- Keep bubbles crisp by adding sparkling water just before serving.
- Adjust carbonation levels to suit different cocktails, being lighter for spritzers and stronger for highballs.
Example: A Basil Lemonade Spritz can be stored flat, then topped with fresh Billi sparkling water, ensuring it remains vibrant and effervescent.
