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.

Cara Devine is a co-owner of Melbourne bar Goodwater and was the long-time bar manager of Bomba Rooftop. She is the host of the hugely popular web series Behind the Bar, which shows professional bartenders, as well as viewers at home, how to make classic and bespoke cocktails, with other episodes featuring product comparisons or deep dives on topics like whisky, vermouth and bartending tools. She writes about her love of all things bar and booze in the online publication Boothby, as well as in her first book, Strong, Sweet and Bitter. Originally from Scotland, she moved to Melbourne in 2014 and has been soaking up knowledge from the city's hospitality scene ever since, as well as sharing some of her own.
