Maison de Bar · Est. behind the velvet curtain
The home bar,
properly equipped.
Glassware, tools, bitters and ice — for the well-made drink.
We stock the things a good bar is built from: hand-blown crystal, forged steel, real bitters and the ice that holds a drink together. No gadgets — just the kit that turns a pour at home into a proper one.
The Old Fashioned
Stirred · spirit-forward · over one big cube
Stir over a clear cube in a rocks glass until cold. Garnish with the peel.
Six shelves of the well-stocked cabinet
Four moves, and the drink is yours
01
Measure
A cocktail is a recipe. A jigger turns a guess into a drink you can make twice.
02
Chill
Big, clear ice chills hard and melts slow — the difference between sharp and watery.
03
Stir or shake
Stir what's all spirit; shake what has citrus. The right tin and spoon make both easy.
04
Finish
The right glass, an expressed strip of peel, a dash of bitters. The flourish that lands first.
Lately poured over
A cocktail is mostly technique and a little stock. Get the tools right and the rest is just practice.— The Cuvarel house rule
The Last Pour
One drink, one technique, one piece of kit — sent the first Friday of the month. Nothing else.
