Batch Cocktails by Maggie Hoffman

Maggie Hoffman is the queen of cocktails. Between her debut book The One-Bottle Cocktail (review) and her latest Batch Cocktails: Make-Ahead Pitcher Drinks for Every Occasion, Maggie has our libation needs covered.
  Entertaining is less stressful when we know the bar is covered. Many lifestyle gurus and celebrity chefs have recommended that providing a signature cocktail is the way to go to take the pressure off the drinks department. A pitcher of cocktails, a couple bottles of wine and bubbly water for the non-alcoholic folks and you can enjoy your party along with your guests. Batch Cocktails offers 65 delicious and creative cocktails that you don’t have to stir or shake to order; rather, they are designed to stay fresh when made ahead and served out of a pitcher. Recipes such as Tongue in Cheek (gin, Meyer lemon, thyme, Cocchi Rosa), Friendly Fires (mezcal, chile vodka, watermelon, lime), Birds & Bees Punch (rum, cucumber, green tea, lemon), and even alcohol-free options are organized by flavor profile – herbal, boozy, bitter, fruity and tart, and so on – to make choosing and whipping up a perfect pitcher of cocktails a total breeze.
