A list of liquid measures cannot convey the thermal dynamics of dilution. Shaking clear spirits with heavy cream liqueurs requires vigorous energy to drop the liquid temperature below freezing within ten to fifteen seconds. Insufficient agitation leaves the mixture warm and heavy, while over-dilution from melting ice breaks the emulsion.
Scaling this recipe for a crowd demands careful math because volume affects cooling rates. Doubling the batch in a standard Boston shaker restricts ice movement, which slows thermal transfer. Instead of doubling, mix cocktails in single batches or use a larger pitcher with a 2-to-1 ratio of ice to liquid volume to maintain proper chill without excess water accumulation.
Batching ahead of time presents storage challenges involving dairy separation. Chocolate liqueurs containing dairy will curdle if exposed to high heat or acidic additives, so keep pre-mixed batches sealed below 40 degrees Fahrenheit for no longer than twenty-four hours. Stir settled components vigorously before pouring into chilled glassware.
