Family brunch

Scale a pancake batch from 4 to 10 servings

A simple case where volume units climb into larger kitchen-friendly measures instead of staying in teaspoons.

Result: Scale factor 2.5x with ingredient amounts normalized into cleaner kitchen units

Margarita pitcher (8 drinks)

Scale a single margarita to a party batch

Use Cocktail mode to see the total batch volume and an ice dilution estimate for shaken drinks.

Result: 36 oz batch before ice — expect ~43 oz total with dilution from shaking

Old Fashioned for 4

Batch a classic stirred cocktail

Stirred drinks dilute less than shaken — the dilution estimate gives a rough planning number.

Result: 9 oz batch with bitters — about 11 oz after dilution from stirring over ice
