The Home Bar (Henry Jeffreys)

Subtitled 'A Guide To Designing, Equipping and Stocking Your Own Bar', this fully-illustrated book contains everything you need to turn your home, no matter how modest, into a swanky bar. There's a chapter on the history of the bar, information on great bars from TV and cinema, a guide to getting certain looks like Tiki or Art Deco, an introduction to stocking your bar, and recipes including classics and new cocktails from well-known bar tenders.

The author, Henry Jeffreys, is an award-winning writer and Features Editor here at Master of Malt. As a taster you can read some of his work over on the blog, including the history of the Old Fashioned cocktail and a survival guide to whisky shows.

But don't just take our word for it, this is what some top drinks writers have said about The Home Bar:

"Witty, wise and well informed…Henry Jeffreys is the dream drinking companion." - Alice Lascelles

"Inspirational and practical in equal measures, with a dash of humour thrown in, Henry Jeffreys provides the ultimate guide to the home bar. Stock up, because if you build it they will surely come!" - Ian Buxton
