Description

The definitive guide to the contemporary craft cocktail movement, from one of the highest-profile, most critically lauded, and influential bars in the world. Death & Co is the most important, influential, and oft-imitated bar to emerge from the contemporary craft cocktail movement. Since its opening in 2006, Death & Co has been a must-visit destination for serious drinkers and cocktail enthusiasts, and the winner of every major industry award—including America’s Best Cocktail Bar and Best Cocktail Menu at the Tales of the Cocktail convention. Boasting a supremely talented and creative bar staff—the best in the industry—Death & Co is also the birthplace of some of the modern era’s most iconic drinks, such as the Oaxaca Old-Fashioned, Naked and Famous, and the Conference. Destined to become a definitive reference on craft cocktails, Death & Co features more than 500 of the bar’s most innovative and sought-after cocktails. But more than just a collection of recipes, Death & Co is also a complete cocktail education, with information on the theory and philosophy of drink making, a complete guide to buying and using spirits, and step-by-step instructions for mastering key bartending techniques. Filled with beautiful, evocative photography; illustrative charts and infographics; and colorful essays about the characters who fill the bar each night; Death & Co—like its namesake bar—is bold, elegant, and setting the pace for mixologists around the world.

  • For the curious and studious mixologist, a reference to turn to again and again
I bought this book on recommendation from a favorite bartender. It's one of the better-value kitchen books I own: long, super dense, and cloth-bound, with high-quality photos and drawings. It's part instructions (how to properly shake and stir, how to taste spirits, what types of ingredients go well together, how to form intuition for the right amount of sweet vs. sour), part recipes, and part memoir / vignettes from the NYC bar. It's pretty impressive how erudite these guys are; they write with convincing authority, and the kind of mastery that makes the book feel like an aspiration that you know you will never fully achieve, but that you can keep turning to again and again to learn more. It gets five stars because I use it all the time and find it a fount of random wisdom and interesting asides, but I should note a few things: - There are no vodka recipes...they think vodka is boring. - Many of the drink recipes require obscure ingredients or expensive liquors, so the actual number of recipes I've made from this book so far is kind of small (limited to their "classic cocktails" section). However, this gives one plenty of room to grow and makes it possible for the book to appeal to all kinds of mixologists, from casual to more serious. - I'm sometimes frustrated by the lack of an index to their recipes, e.g. say I want to find all the recipes that include white (blanc) vermouth, well that isn't possible. I have to page through the various sections (Classic Cocktails, Gin Stirred, Gin Shaken, etc.) hoping to stumble upon this ingredient. ... show more

  • Great gift for home bartender
Got it for my boyfriend for Christmas and he loves it! Lots of great recipes and fun tidbits from behind a professional bar he likes to read. It also looks super fancy and is great sitting on a coffee table or bar.

  • Fun, but not a beginner's manual
This is a really handsome book - although with a few copy editing errors. It would make a nice gift for the intermediate to advanced home cocktail enthusiast. There's a lot of excellent advice on how to perfect techniques - and there's an awareness that the reader cannot duplicate everything that's done at a bar by professionals. And there's a certain amount of bragging about how wonderful this particular bar is - and I'm sure it is. The part you may find more inspirational than actually useful are the recipes. Making cocktails, like cooking, is partly about technique, but also about the ingredients. When high-end bars write guides like this they face a dilemma. They spend lots of time building cocktails with just the right ingredients - often difficult to source. And things that make sense at a busy bar - like preparing and maintaining a stock of infused simple syrups - really don't translate to the home environment where you are making a few cocktails a week. So they can dumb down the recipes - which means they aren't the *real* recipes... or they can present them as they are and risk frustrating the reader. This book takes the latter route - exotic ingredients are on full display, and the readers' first reaction is "there's not a single drink in this book that I have *all* the ingredients for - and some of this stuff I've never even heard of!" My approach to this is to rely on more basic books to figure out what you (and your frequent guests) like and then use books like this (or scanning the listed ingredients at top-flight bars) to take those drinks to the next level. To make *all* the drinks in this book, you'd need to open a bar. But to perfect your two or three favorites is quite doable. ... show more
