Cocktails with a Christmas twist

A new cocktail book by the owner of Munich's Goldenen Bar reveals the perfect mixing tricks, plus a few drinks that are perfect for the lead-up to Christmas.

It doesn't take much to create a special evening with exquisite cocktails. Klaus St. Rainer, one of Germany's best-known bartenders, knows what is important in a cocktail – in his new book Homebar he shows how really good drinks can be both simple and relaxed. 

Drinks with a story

There is something for absolutely every conceivable occasion, whether it's a birthday, dinner party or – it's approaching fast – the Christmas season. He strikes a charming mix of timeless classics and creative creations including vegan variations. The fact that every drink has a story makes the book particularly personal.

Special equipment is not necessary for mixology (because that is a science in itself...) at home. Almost everything a beginner needs for mixing is already in most kitchens. So without further ado: Cheers and have fun in your home bar!
