From Menorca’s freezer-ready Pomada to a make-ahead Mojito, here are six of our favorite recipes for a crowd.

Now that it’s outdoor entertaining season, it’s time to break out the pitcher for large-format cocktails. But scaling up your favorite classic can sometimes be difficult. There are aromatics to consider—bitters are amplified in a batch—and achieving the right dilution without first mixing or shaking with ice can be tricky. Enter our tried-and-true large-format recipes, which take the guesswork out of supersizing the classics. Some, like the Basque Bamboo, can be made ahead of time minus the finishing touch—save the sparkling cider topper until serving to preserve the bubbles. Others are ready to go once prepped. From a refreshing Mojito riff to an ultra simple ​​Michelada, here are the drinks to batch this summer.
