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.
