Recipe Guide Vol. 2

Ten cold-weather recipes from the studio bench, built to make ahead in batch. Each base is dialed in with the Infusion Calculator or Non-Alcoholic Balance Calculator, then scaled with the Batch & Costing Calculator and timed with the Shelf Life & Storage Calculator — the first guide to use all four tools together.

Vol. 2 is built for the season it covers: warm, spiced, and mostly meant to be made ahead for a group rather than shaken one glass at a time. As with Vol. 1, nothing here is a fixed ratio — every recipe points to the exact studio tool and settings to dial in its base at any batch size. What's new in this volume: recipes built for batching, with the Batch & Costing Calculator to scale a recipe to your actual headcount and the new Shelf Life & Storage Calculator to give an honest make-ahead window instead of guessing. Three samples are open below. The full guide adds seven more, a worked make-ahead example for the batch punch, and a sourcing index across all ten.
