Batch 22 Carajillo — “It’s Bean a While”





Batch 22 was honored to provide the signature cocktails for the 2023 Annual Gala presented by Spike’s K9 Fund in New York City.

Immaculate Reception Punch (about 15-20 servings)
Largely hailed as the greatest play in NFL history, Franco Harris’s catch in the final seconds of the 1972 AFC divisional playoff game won the day for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

We were asked to come up with an espresso cocktail for the Spike’s K9 Fund Gala in New York City, and we were asked to use coffee from San Diego-based coffee roaster, Seven Seas.

Kickoff Punch (about 12-15 servings)
The original Mule cocktail was named for the spicy “kick” it gets from the addition of ginger beer.

La Cienega (Boulevardier riff)
We are good friends with fellow San Diegans who launched their own spirit brand—Fierce & Kind—around the same time as we launched Batch 22.

We love our version of the classic Manhattan cocktail, which is not as sweet and offers more complexity of flavor.

We ordered the Accompani Blue Dorris from one of our favorite specialty websites and were intrigued by its super unique aromas and flavors.

Midnight Sun (Viking Cruise Lines)
We were thrilled when we heard from Viking that Batch 22 was going to be added to their bar program.

In all our recipe development work, we found that cherries and Batch 22 Classic Gold aquavit play very well together and we wanted to craft a cocktail that would really satisfy the cherry lover.

New Year’s ’22 Punch (serves about 15-20)
New Year’s Eve is always a time for celebration with friends and family.

We created this Negroni variation in celebration of Negroni Week 2023.

We created this cocktail for Father’s Day in 2023. It’s our unique aquavit riff on the classic Stiletto cocktail, which traditionally employs bourbon as its main spirit.

The three of us who founded the company are all big movie buffs, and we all agree that “Public Enemy,” starring Jimmy Cagney, is an old (and yes, dated) classic gangster film.

This cocktail offered the guests at the K9 Gala a lighter, more refreshing cocktail option.

Originally called Killer Queen, this cocktail—created by Robin Wolf, who runs the bar at The Hatch Rotisserie & Bar in Paso Robles, California, is a delicate, floral, and aromatic elixir that just makes your heart beat faster.

When we drove sample bottles of Batch 22 aquavit across America in June of 2021, one of the best nights we had was in Tampa, Florida, at Edison Food + Drink Lab.

Using mushrooms in edgy craft cocktails has become a very popular trend recently.

Simple cocktail mixers can often be just as satisfying as more complex ones.

Once our first holiday season came around in 2022, we set out to create a bunch of holiday-inspired cocktail recipes.

Spiked Pigskin Punch (about 15-20 servings)
This fruity, sparkling, lemonade-based punch is dangerously easy to drink, but bursting with vitamin C!
