Big-Batch Cocktails To Make With Extra Wholesale Iced Tea

Posted on: 2 February 2022

If you serve a lot of iced tea at your restaurant, then buying it in wholesale quantities is definitely the way to go, cost-wise. But sometimes, you may find yourself with extra iced tea to use up in a hurry. Throwing it away would be a shame, so instead, you may want to make one or more of these big-batch cocktails. Mix up a batch, keep it in a big pitcher behind the bar, and serve it as a happy hour special! Here are a couple of easy, big-batch cocktail recipes to use up your iced tea.

Raspberry Chiller

This one is perfect for a summer day! If you don't have fresh raspberries on hand, you can easily substitute frozen ones. To make about 2 gallons of the cocktail, you need:

  • 1 gallon prepared iced tea
  • 1 liter of raspberry vodka
  • 2 liters lemon-lime soda
  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons bitters
  • 1 cup orange juice

Muddle the raspberries in the bottom of a large prep container. Pour in the remaining ingredients, and stir well. Fill pitchers, one at a time, with the prepared cocktail mixture as needed. Be careful not to add too much ice to the pitchers; you don't want to dilute the drink too much. Store the cocktail in the fridge, when possible, between services.

Lemon-Lime Iced Tea Runner

Lemon juice and iced tea are a classic combination. Throw some lime juice into the mixture, and you have something more unique. Then, add some rum, and you have about 2 gallons of this really refreshing, big-batch cocktail. Here are the ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 gallons iced tea
  • 1 liter light rum
  • 1 cup lemon juice
  • 1 cup lime juice
  • 1 cup simple syrup
  • 1/4 cup vermouth

Mix all of the ingredients in a big prep container. Fill a pitcher at a time, being careful not to add too much ice.

Peachy Keen

Those who love peaches and iced tea will adore this big-batch drink, which is made with peach liqueur and peach vodka for an extra punch. To make about 2 gallons, you need:

  • 1 1/2 gallons iced tea
  • 1 liter peach vodka
  • 1 liter peach liqueur or peach schnapps

Mix these three simple ingredients in a big prep container. Fill pitchers one at a time, as needed. Garnish the glasses with peach slices for an extra touch.

You'll never wonder how to use up extra wholesale iced tea again with these recipes in your pocket!

Finding The Best Food Supplier For Your Restaurant

When you first open a restaurant, all of those food suppliers might seem the same. In an effort to speed things up and to get a great deal, you might opt for whoever offers you the best deals on the things you order most frequently. Unfortunately, some suppliers can offer you a higher level of customer service than others can; which will matter later. After all, what will you do if you forget to add an important ingredient to your order? Will you be able to call the company and add it? I made this website to teach other restaurant owners what to look for in a food supplier.
