An accessible guide to building a home bar one bottle at a time, this book gives readers tools for mixing fantastic cocktails without investing time and money in niche single-use ingredients. 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, 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. 304 pages.
