There’s nothing worse than spending hours prepping for a holiday house party—to only get stuck making a zillion drinks for guests, or worse, running out of ice. We’ve found a solution: freezer door cocktails. Designed to live in your freezer indefinitely, these batched drinks are ready to pour as soon as your guests arrive—even when that one person inevitably shows up early.
Freezer door cocktails are simple: you batch your drink, dilute it with water, and freeze it (old liquor bottles work great, but any freezer-safe 750 ml bottle will do). When it’s time to serve, there’s no need to shake, stir, or add ice. They’re already perfectly chilled and ready to go—they also won’t freeze because of their proportional alcohol content. From olive oil martinis to chocolate negronis, these drinks are as easy to make as they are to serve.
