Death & Co Bartender's Choice : Cards for Discovering Classic Cocktails and Inspiring New Drinks

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 labeled with categories that reflects 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 favorite 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 made 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.
