There’s still a few good weeks of summer ahead of us and it’s high time for a nice backyard get together. Just don’t miss the crucial ingredient — booze. These big batch cocktails are perfect for spending less time mixing drinks and more time with your friends.

1. Sangria

Sangrias are an incredibly easy to make big batch cocktail and they’re also very versatile. Using different fruits, wines (or liquors), and juices will give you completely varying flavors. Try this recipe for a summery pineapple sangria.

2. Spiked Lemonade and Tea

Spiked lemonades and teas are great for big-batch mixology. They’re fresh, fruity, and taste great poured into a pitcher. Try this sparking spiked peach lemonade or this bourbon strawberry iced tea.

3. Mimosa Pitcher

This might come as a surprise but it technically doesn’t need to be brunch for you to enjoy a refreshing mimosa. Here’s a classic recipe for a whole pitcher made with Prosecco and orange juice.

4. Mojito

Everyone’s favorite use for extra limes, mojitos are another simple and refreshing big batch cocktail. Mix up a whole bunch of them using this classic recipe or try something new with this watermelon-cucumber variation.

5. Pretty much every other cocktail

Mixing cocktails is a lot like cooking in that it’s really about the ratio of ingredients rather than the total amount. That means that in reality, you can scale up any cocktail recipe and make two or twenty drinks. So if you’re a fan of cucumber gin and tonics or Manhattans, you can easily make enough for everyone.
