Is the amount of chilled water in the recipe what you would add if you would make a batch? I have a cocktail party soon and want to make few batches.

No, this cocktail benefits from dilution so the added water in the recipe above allows for the use of very cold ice which imparts less dilution than 'wet' ice. Even if you pre-batch ingredients, you would best to shake the premix with ice when serving cocktails. (Different if a stirred cocktail such as Manhattan or Negroni when recipe batched with +20% water and served from fridge/freezer works well.)
