The best part about having a home bar is inviting friends over to enjoy some drinks, but sometimes you wind up spending more time behind the bar making those drinks than you do socializing. The next time you invite folks over for a happy hour, try batching cocktails ahead of time so your guests can fill their glasses while you enjoy their company. Batched cocktails can be prepared in advance of your get-together and then stored and poured from any kind of pitcher or beverage dispenser.
