James Beard award nominee. One of the best cocktail books of the year - Minneapolist Star Tribune, Slate. ""The mad geniuses behind Death and Co have elevated cocktail creation to punk-rock artistry. This dazzling book brings their brilliance home."" - Aisha TylerImagine you're a rookie bartender and this is your handbook. Your training begins with a boot camp of sorts, where you follow the same path a Death and Co bartender would to discover your own palate and preferences, learn how to select ingredients, understand what makes a great cocktail work, and mix drinks like an old pro. Then it's time to invite your friends over to show off the batched and ready-to-pour mixtures you stored in the freezer so you could enjoy your guests instead of making drinks all night. More than 600 recipes anchor the book, including classics, low-abv and nonalcoholic cocktails, and hundreds of signature creations developed by the Death and Co teams in New York, Los Angeles, and Denver.
