Raising the Bar: A Bottle-by-Bottle Guide to Mixing Up Masterful Cocktails at Home
Tax excluded. Shipping calculated at checkout
There’s a basic cocktail formula for building a bar that is anything but ordinary. Spirit + Sugar + Acidity/Bitterness = Tasty Cocktail Instead of drawing on esoteric bottles of liquor, complicated syrups, and obscure sodas, this book takes readers through the home bar bottle by bottle, ensuring that every ingredient is versatile enough to be used to the last drop. Building on a very basic cocktail pantry (of Angostura bitters, sugar, citrus), each chapter thoughtfully introduces a new bottle and explains how it opens new possibilities for cocktails. Each chapter builds on the one before, so readers never encounter recipes calling for unfamiliar spirits or ingredients. RAISING THE BAR allows readers to set their own pace and maximize the usefulness of the spirits they bring home. This book will be a go-to reference for the home bartender that is practical enough for the day-to-day and special enough for a party. With handsome graphics and a smart focus on what’s already in stock, it’s what home mixologists can turn to when they want creative and delightful drinks without a bar cart full of single-use bottles.

The craftmanship of this whisky tumbler is top notch. An absolutely beautiful piece of glass.
It's a birthday gift for after the holidays
I love the Helvellyn design, and this stylish small 4oz glass is perfect for whisky tasting as it is a good size for a single measure. A lovely solid elegant little glass that is perfect in the hand.
Or you could just use it for juice as per the description!
First thoughts is the cloth is expensive for a cloth, if it we're bigger I'd consider it better value for money. If it were better priced, I'd of bought several. However, set aside my personal value feelings. The cloth is lovely, after washing my Crystal leaving to dry then polishing them with it, it brings the glass ware up a treat, a sparkle and twinkle. I am sure there are other cloths out there that would potentially do the same thing but I believe the team at CC to have done their research and this one for their glassware is the one. Allowing me to keep my much loved handmade crystal in top condition.
Gorgeous gift , well made, good quality feels and looks expensive- well received
This was an outlet Gin glass, but you wouldn’t know it ! Beautiful, heavy and gorgeous glass - very happy
This is gorgeous, bigger than expected and just as beautiful as all.the other pieces in this range that we have
absolutely loving the 8oz whisky glasses I recently bought. They exude quality and are so tactile that it is a pleasure to use them. Only problem is it has increased my whisky intake !!!
What beautiful glasses! Stunning! I’m So pleased with them. They are just perfect quality.
and I thoroughly enjoy my evening drink out of the Grasmere whisky tumbler. So much so that I have bought two more as a surprise Christmas present for my family to enjoy the experience too.
Purchased the Grassmere tumbler, really is perfect in your hand.
It’s the best tumbler I have ever held in my hand, being 53, I have held a few.
All my friends compliment the glass. I totally recommend
Lovely gift - efficient delivery
