For Grand Locale Rotterdam, we developed a Batched Cocktail Program with one clear goal: speed, consistency, and ease of service, without losing the soul of the classics.

What we've been asked to do
Alongside the draught cocktails, we curated the spirits and liqueur selection to support the program behind the bar. A clear, functional backbar makes faster decisions, smoother service, and fewer compromises during peak hours. No clutter, just bottles that earn their place.
Grand Locale asked for tailored recipes for draught, built on recognisable classics. Our task was not to reinvent them, but to translate them into reliable batched formats that work in real service conditions. Correct dilution, stability, and balance were leading—so every pour tastes the same, all night long.
In addition, we developed several special batched Negronis, each built around a distinct flavour profile and spirit base. Familiar in structure, flexible in expression, and perfectly suited for pre-batching without losing identity.
The end result
The result is a bar setup that runs smoothly and confidently, giving the team the freedom to host, engage, and deliver style at the bar—
classic cocktails, served efficiently, with room for hospitality.
Because great bars aren’t just about what’s in the glass,
but about how it’s served.
