Death & Co Bartender's Choice

From America's most influential cocktail bar comes two cocktail decks in one for the home mixologist: a deck of fifty-two classic cocktail recipes and another deck of fifty-two cards to help you come up with brand-new concoctions.

This double deck is a comprehensive primer on the art of handcrafted drinks. The first set of cards, the Classics Deck, features Death & Co's take on fifty-two classic and modern classic recipes, each labelled with categories that reflect its cocktail personality ("Fresh & Lively," "Elegant & Timeless," "Rich & Comforting").

The other deck, called the Roots Deck, is a choose-your-own-cocktail-adventure based on Death & Co's fan favourite book Cocktail Codex. You pull a root cocktail card—Martini, Old Fashioned, Daiquiri, Sidecar, Highball, or Flip—which will prompt you to pull additional cards to continue the assembly of components (specific spirits, citrus, sweeteners, and more) of your drink, leading you to the creation of a brand-new cocktail for your repertoire. The decks can also be used in unison; start with a recipe from the Classics Deck and use the ingredients from the Roots Deck to help you swap ingredients and make new discoveries.

With a booklet that includes instructions for using the decks together or separately and information on the most basic kit for the home bar, Death & Co Bartender's Choice is an essential tool for drink-makers.
