Raising the Bar: A Bottle-by-Bottle Guide to Mixing Up Masterful Cocktails at Home
Tax included. 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.

Excellent glass.
The weight of the glass gives it a feel of class.
Lovely crystal cut.
Throughly happy
What is there not to love about handmade English crystal. I have been using Cumbrian English crystal for over 40yrs. My first pieces were sherry glasses in Grasemere pattern. I then treated myself to Grasemere champagne flutes. This crystal is timeless and I love seeing it on programs like ‘Downton Abbey’ I have so much Cumbrian crystal and use it daily. Recently I bought the apprentice Christmas baubles and got carried away buying 24. He limited edition 2024 champagne and Martini glasses, well I have bought so many as gifts for friends. If you do decide to buy Cumbrian crystal remember you are buying a bit of English history. A special shout to Tom and Nick ( well everyone really) this team is a team and the passion they have for this beautiful crystal
Delighted to add these charming shot glasses to our Grasmere collection. As usual the feeling in the hand is luxurious and they come alive when filled with any liquid.
A beautiful glass delivered quickly and securely packaged.
Bought as a Christmas gift. So pleased with it.
Craftsmanship. Style. Weight. A gorgeous jug to accompany my husbands pre dinner whiskey.
Great glass with beautiful design
It’s another beautiful piece from the Grasmere collection from Cumbria Crystal.
Their crystalware truly are piece of art. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
This glass looks rather regal and my partner uses it for beer and larger. He says it tastes better drinking it from a decent glass.
If you are in doubt, buy it!
I purchased this tumbler for my husbands birthday and he loved it. Arrived in Australia well packaged and in good time. It's beautifully heavy and feels great in the hand. My husband enjoyed having a few drams from it for his celebration.
The whisky tumblers look and feel like top quality.
I highly recommend.
Bought these for our crystal wedding anniversary.
Couldn’t be happier.
Top quality craftsmanship, highly recommended and looking forward to extending our collection.
I ordered two of the Halloween tea light holders in different designs. These are so beautifully made and once the tea light are lit this brings the spooky designs to life. I’m so pleased with my purchases. Another fabulous quality piece of crystal from Cumbria crystal.
Very tactile and sturdy, beautiful design. Worth the wait for them to be produced.
