Behind the Home Bar (The Essential Guide to Making Cocktails at Home)

A follow-up to Cara Devine's successful Strong, Sweet and Bitter, Behind the Home Bar is THE cocktail book you need to live your best drinking life at home. It covers everything you need to know to build up your home bar in a way that is exciting, innovative, won't break the bank, and – crucially – will be guaranteed to get the party started.

Containing over 25 'prep' recipes spanning syrups and cordials, oleos and sherbets, bitters and tinctures, and pickles and ferments, these essential additions to your home bar will elevate your basic cocktails (and make them even more delicious). Try them out in the 20 cocktails such as a Blended bebida with Pear and chamomile puree or a Sherbet gimlet with Chilli lime sherbet and Mango and black tea bitters.

With cocktails to suit every mood and occasion, set-up notes and prep recipes to add layer upon layer of flavour to your favourites with minimal fuss, drinking at home has never tasted better … nor sounded more appealing.
