Sunken Living Room: gin, fino, grapefruit and celery
Batch with 22 percent water in a salt-ice bath. Shake-and-serve is the one-at-a-time version. Boquerones, potato chips, and pickled guindilla peppers.
This is the base recipe: one batch, 6 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because there is no committed plan for this dish. Build and commit a plan that includes it and this card multiplies itself to the batch count the plan computes.
Celery cordial five days. The ice-bath batch is for that night.

Multiplying the ingredients is the easy half. These are the parts of the recipe that the batch count does not move.
- Cooking time
- Nothing cooks, so batch size does not change a cooking time. Chilling does not scale either — it is set by the depth of the container, so a double batch in one deep tub takes far longer than two shallow ones.
- Read the whole method before you shop. This is a planning recipe for sunken living room: gin, fino, grapefruit and celery, not a certified kitchen test.
- Amounts below are one batch: 6 portions. Build a plan and this card scales itself to it.
- This dish can be completed up to 1 day ahead. Cold storage is the real limit — do not make it ahead if the fridge is already tight.
- No heat. Assemble from cold ingredients. Keep covered until service.
- Hold time is short (8 min). Finish close to service. Do not guess a longer hold.
- Leftover route: Celery cordial five days. The ice-bath batch is for that night.
- Confirm every ingredient and every allergen yourself. Dietary tags are planning filters, not safety guarantees.
Can be completed up to 1 day ahead. Fridge units: 1 per batch, so 1 batch takes about 1 shelf-thirds while it waits.
Base recipe: one batch, 6 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because no plan was open. Cooking time does not move with the batch: about 0 minutes at the stove either way.
