Batched Has Released Two New Bottled Cocktails Ready To Get You Through Your Iso Stint

Whether you're staring down the barrel of 10 days in isolation or you're just avoiding crowded bars right now, you're going to need to be stocked up on the things to get you through. No, we're not talking about Paracetamol and hot lemon and honey drinks, we're talking about a bloody good cocktail — especially during those days in iso where weekends and weekdays have no meaning.

Enter Batched — locally made premium bottled cocktails that allow you to whip up a delicious bevvy for your iso partner, without needing all the normal things that usually come with making a cocktail from scratch: a bar kit, a stocked drinks trolley, lots of patience etc.

Batched's bottled Espresso Martini  and Gin Sour have both been on the market for a while now — you've probably seen them served at weddings and soirees this summer — and now they've welcomed two new cocktails to the menu just in time for a stint in iso.

Cashing in on the great New Zealand margarita craze of 2022, Batched's new Salted Grapefruit Margarita promises just the right mix of tart and sweet, with a hefty dose of salt to lift it. Of course, add more salt on the rim if you're so inclined (we sure are). Meanwhile, the Classic Whiskey Sour is a silky smooth take on a favourite: no beating your own egg whites required.

One 725ml bottle sets you back $44.99 and has six servings in it — that's happy hour prices at your house if we've ever seen them.

Batched new bottled Salted Grapefruit Margarita and Whiskey Sour (RRP $44.99) are available at most liquor stores around the country, as well as online at batched.nz.
