The home bar is open! It doesn't take much to turn an average Friday night at home into a special evening with exquisite cocktails. Klaus St. Rainer, one of Germany's most renowned bartenders, knows what makes a good cocktail. In Home Bar he shows you how to mix delicious drinks without extensive professional equipment in over 70 cocktail recipes at home. Whether you're looking for the perfect birthday party tipple, a cosy evening cocktail, or something to sip at a garden party, your home bar has the perfect drinks on the menu! With a small basic stock of high-quality but affordable ingredients and spirits, you can create sparkling champagne drinks, classics such as Mojitos and Manhattans and exciting variations to experiment with, as well as non-alcoholic cocktails, punches, and homemade lemonade in refreshing flavours. Shaken, stirred, on the rocks or crushed, bitter, or sweet? Home bar is not just a recipe book, but a must-have for all cocktail lovers, and an inspiration for your next Friday night in.
