RAISING THE BAR (MASTERFUL COCKTAILS AT HOME) (HB)

There’s a basic formula for building a bar: spirit plus sugar plus acidity/bitterness equals 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.
