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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“This is a book that will inspire the next generation of bartenders. The Death & Co crew has managed to mix equal measures of hospitality and creativity, and the impact of their experiment will be felt far beyond their modest East Sixth Street saloon. This book extends Death & Co’s reach even farther.”—Dale Degroff, author of The Craft of the Cocktail 

“Death & Co changed the way we drink in America. This elegant, intelligent book—with drink recipes from the ‘Dirty Dozen’ of top bartender/mixologists working in America today (all Death & Co veterans), plus sound, concise advice on every aspect of drink making—will make sure that nobody could possibly forget that.”—David Wondrich, author of Imbibe! and Punch 

 “Death & Co has become an integral part of New York’s cocktail culture, and will remain a part of it for years to come. David and Alex have influenced the way people drink in New York City (and around the world), and I’m constantly inspired whenever I step into their bar. They craft each drink just as I would approach a dish, piecing together the ingredients, testing it tirelessly, striving for perfection, and also trying to connect each recipe to a story. There is a real art, a real passion behind everything they do, and this book will act as a timeless reference for anyone interested in cocktails.”—Daniel Humm, chef/co-owner of Eleven Madison Park and Co-Author of I Love New York 

“A fascinating, in-depth look at one of the best bars out there—brimming with the same attitude and resolve that made Death & Co a true winner in the field. This book is a one-stop shop for anyone interested in cocktails and the bars that serve them, and it’s a brilliant read, to boot.”—Gaz Regan, author of the Joy of Mixology

“With Death & Co, David, Nick, and Alex have created an instant classic for craft cocktail enthusiasts and professionals alike. I’ve found this book to be essential in my home.”—April Bloomfield, chef/owner of The Spotted Pig

Cocktails, as an art, are back.
5 out of 5 stars
Cocktails, as an art, are back.
Stumbled across the Death and Company bar in a visit to NYC, where forty years ago I happened to be a bartender. What a joy. The places I worked at in the early 80's catered to the 30 -50 crowd and few customers varied from classics or trendy. Piña Coladas, Margaritas, Baileys/Stoli (both new then), were all very trendy then. Manhattans, Old Fashioneds, Martinis, Gin & Tonics, Daquiris, other sours, brunch Bloody Mary's and Mimosas were the backbone.One place I worked at had a wall of liqueurs, from all around Europe. Memorable experiences were when customers would come in and instruct me how to concoct some drink I'd never heard of. As the bartender, you'd dip in a cocktail straw for a taste sample, and many of these were sublime.This book goes deep into renewing cocktail making as an art. It explores not only the drinks and what's behind them, but also the bar, the bitters and other ingredients, and even the customers, to give you as close of an experience to actually visiting the place as possible.Well done!

5.0 out of 5 stars For the curious and studious mixologist, a reference to turn to again and again
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2018
Verified Purchase
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible - the best and most practical cocktail book I've seen
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2016
Verified Purchase
This book is crazy - it's by far the best cocktail book I've ever seen and incredibly unique in its approach. For one, it's beautifully made with a linen binding and gorgeous full color photos and illustrations. But what I really love about this book is all the details on how the bar works - there's a script of the bar staff testing a drink, considering what it lacks, suggesting additions or substitute brands that would improve the drink. I've never really thought about how a bar works together to put a new drink on the menu, but this book exposes the process over a few pages that's totally fascinating.

Other things like a chart of how Death & Co. approaches "bartender's choice" shows you the "how to" side that I've only seen here in this book. I also enjoyed the staff notes on why they select one brand of liquor over another - why use Beefeater gin vs. Hendrick's, as well as some of the inspiration behind certain drinks "it's a whiskey sour but made with tequila", will change the way you think about making drinks. The book has one page essays about certain regulars and what their drink of choice is that make this world class, destination bar seem more like your neighborhood tavern and bring a kind of familiarity to the book.

Finally, and my favorite part is that the recipes are great and most are easy to make at home - this isn't just a coffee table book, it's practical and I find myself reaching for it on a regular basis to actually make something from my home bar. You don't have to make lots of custom ingredients, fat-wash a bottle of expensive spirits, or do too much that's a pain in the butt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but not a beginner's manual
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2024
Verified Purchase
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.

I’m relatively new to the cocktail world: I’ve only started mixing a few months ago. Even I can see, however, that this is one of the best collections of cocktail knowledge that an up and coming mixologist can own. Each drink featured is unique in its own way, the information on different spirits is in depth yet simply put, and the occasional story of how Death & Co. came to be in New York is quite interesting (to me, that is.). Not to mention, the book looks quite nice on my bar table. Overall, definitely a book to buy, read, and learn from.

The book is fantastic! Got it as a gift for my 35-year-old son and he will love it! I was so tempted to read it, but I don't want to manhandle it since it is a gift. Packaged securely and arrived in pristine condition. I got the spiral-bound version so my son can lay it flat for the recipes and the plastic spiral is a little too big but that is an easy fix!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for those looking to expand their home bar. A concise, modern guide to mixing drinks
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 28, 2020
Verified Purchase
I've been using this book for years now, and have made many of the drinks within and visited the bar in person since my purchase. It's a fantastic resource, containing recipes for hundreds of delicious cocktails. Lots of good theory to be read if you go beyond the recipes as well, detailing how the bartenders at Death & Co go about creating new drinks and flavours that they have found go together well.

It's been an invaluable resource since I purchased it, and helped me expand my home bar from the dregs of my university days to a collection that allows me to make a good number of the drinks recipes contained within the book. Many of the recipes can be made with some core purchases, with very few recipes calling for the sort of ingredient that will sit in the back of your cabinet unused for years.

Whether you're new to mixing drinks, or you've got several years experience behind you, you can't go wrong with this book.
