Can I make mixed drinks in bulk?
I am having a luau and am having mixed drinks but I didnt want to have to mix up an individual drink for every person I thought I could like make the recipie but make it 5 times more and then pour the drink in a picture and keep it in the fridge. Will this work? Will the ice melt?
Here are some recipies I am planning on using:
Virgin pina colada
2 oz. coconut cream
1 1/2 oz. crushed pineapple
1 oz. pineapple juice
1/4 cup crushed ice
1. Place all ingredients in a blender and blend at high setting until smooth -- about 30 seconds.
2. Strain into highball or collins glass and garnish with orange slice and cherry.
Non-alcoholic frozen peach daiquiri
2 cartons of peach yogurt
1 banana
2 tsp cocunut extract
1 package of small frozen peaches
1. In the jar of a blender combine the yogurt, peeled and chunked banana, and the coconut extract.
2. Blend until smooth.
3. With blender running, drop frozen peaches thru opening in lid a little at a time.
4. Process until smooth.

Because these are frozen drinks they will melt and if it's outside it will even faster. I would recommend doing pitchers of different mixed drinks such as Margaritas and Sex on the beach.
Yes, In your case, pina coladas, margaritas, daiquiris etc. can all be made in bulk either blended or shaken. Other drinks such as scotch, bourbon etc. I would say not. You could do it but in those cases people choose their "own" brands of liquor and mixers and are a bit more picky about how the drinks are made, especially martini drinkers. It would be a bit tacky maybe;)
The problem you are going to have is the drink will separate as it sits. You will need a way to keep it blended.
I love fresh peach daiquiris- fresh peaches rum blended to a smooth consistency
Margarita make great make ahead drinks
Homemade Sangria is also very good.
For a non alcoholic drink maybe you could try a lime tea punch or something like that.
