How this works.

Most batch calculators get one thing wrong: they apply dilution as a percent of the finished drink volume. That math over-waters by a meaningful amount and the punch ends up flat.

The right move is to treat dilution as a percent of the ingredient volume instead. A stirred Manhattan picks up about 25% of its ingredient volume in water from the ice; a shaken sour gets closer to 30%. We size the ingredients down to fit the target volume with that water added — not the other way around.

Use the dilution input as a knob, not a constant. If you’re batching a stirred drink that will be poured over ice at service, leave it lower (15–20%) so the final pour still gets the ice contact it wants. If you’re pre-diluting a punch that will sit cold for hours, push it up.
