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.

Your glassware always arrives well presented and safely wrapped. The box is a lovely way to present the gift, so the box is part of the celebration. Thank you
Beautiful heavyweight whisky glass. Very well received
The Grasmere Double Old Fashioned 12oz tumblers are absolutely stunning.
The Cumbria craftsmanship and design is exquisite.
There's not a better glass, to enjoy Kentucky Bourbon.
In my opinion, this Cumbria Crystal Grasmere collection is unrivaled.
I absolutely love my gra
Couldn't have given a better gift. The couple loved it!
I love my Grasmere goblets.
Our son and daughter in law bought us two of these glasses and I wanted to another four. We were coming to the Lakes and I called Cumbria Crystal and they recommended I bring a glass with me so we could marry it up with the ones we were buying. The guy that served us was so helpful ( I think he was new) and got us four matching glasses. Despite these being from the factory shop they look perfects. The only difference is some are slightly heavier than others but no one person holds two glasses in their hands.
My son collects the perfect Grasmere range and we buy them for them as presents, the design is really stunning as are the other ranges Cumbria Crystal make. Next time we visit the lakes I will book a tour.
I really like to modern style of the glass, its great quality and weighty which I like. My brandy tastes even better ! Friendly staff and good postage very well wrapped.
A beautiful set of glasses, well made and very stylish..
The Grasmere Goblet and Large Highball are every bit as fabulous as the large whiskey tumblers and large goblets I bought from you recently. I will definitely be adding to my collection very shortly.
Beautiful Gin glass for my Wife's birthday ... compliments my Bond DOF Whiskey glass ....
Thank you x x
This is the second item from the Grasmere range I’ve bought (also bought the 12oz Whiskey Tumbler a few months ago) and they are very good quality. You can feel the weight of the glass & the cutting is outstanding. Customer service is also excellent, straight forward ordering and delivery was good.
I had a set of ten balusters and one was accidentally broken. Thank you for this very heavy and beautiful piece and my set is back to ten in total now,
