About BatchPour
BatchPour exists because dilution math is invisible — and most batch cocktail guides skip it entirely.
Measured, batched, served.
Every guide is written for real prep: quantities, timing, dilution, and what changes once drinks leave the single-glass ritual.
What we are
BatchPour is a collection of free, client-side cocktail calculators. Every calculation happens in your browser — nothing is sent to any server. No sign-up, no paywall, no account required.
The tools cover: batch scaling with dilution, ABV and standard-drink counting, shake vs stir analysis, syrup ratios, citrus yield, and a Widmark-formula BAC estimator (educational only — see the full disclaimer on that page).
Why the dilution math matters
Shaking or stirring over ice adds water as it chills a drink. A batch poured directly from a chilled vessel needs a preparation plan that accounts for the service method. The amount of ice melt varies with the recipe, ingredients, ice and technique.
BatchPour makes the added-water setting visible. It applies your chosen percentage to all recipe liquid before dilution, including juice and syrup, and separates ingredients held for service from the mix-now volume.
Data sources
Recipe scaling and package rounding are arithmetic based on your inputs. The 22% stir, 27% shake and 0% build water presets are editable planning assumptions, not measurements. Syrup ratios use sugar and water mass; citrus yields are adjustable estimates. The batching guide and syrup guide explain the calculation basis and link their process sources. BatchPour has not validated taste, physical yields or storage durations.
Independence and monetization
BatchPour is an independent site under Solmoor. We earn nothing from the free tools. When we add affiliate links in the future (barware, courses), we will say so clearly and always in compliance with FTC disclosure guidelines. Until then, there are no affiliate buttons on the site.

Batching, dilution, ABV and BAC outputs are estimates for planning and education. Technique, ice, produce and individual metabolism vary. Drink responsibly and do not use the BAC estimate to decide whether to drive.
