How to Prep Your Drinks Like a Pro

Hosting should feel fun—not like you’re stuck bartending all night. That’s why we’re big on prepping ahead, chilling hard, and pouring on demand. Here’s how to load up your TANKY like a pro so you’re ready for whatever the weekend throws at you.

Start by picking your drink. TANKY works best with pre-batched drinks that keep well and pour easy. Some crowd favourites include Aperol Spritz (just skip the soda and add it after), Margaritas, Espresso Martinis, Gin and Grapefruit, G&Ts, Cold Brew Coffee, Iced Chai, or even sparkling mocktails and kombucha. Aim for drinks with simple, shelf-stable ingredients—you can always garnish on the spot.

Next, mix it the night before. Get your drink fully mixed, including any citrus, syrup, or juice, and give it a quick taste test. Strain it, funnel it into your TANKY, seal the lid, and pop it in the fridge overnight. This chills the entire tank so you’re not wasting CO₂ trying to cool it down later.

If you want, give it a gentle shake once gassed. This helps blend the flavours and kick-starts the carbonation. Just keep it light—you’re not making a protein shake.

And that’s it. No measuring. No sticky counters. Just press to pour wherever the day takes you.

The more you prep ahead, the more time you get to actually enjoy the thing you planned. Fill it. Chill it. Bring it. Pour it.
