DEATH & CO:
BARTENDER’S CHOICE
Cards For Discovering Classic Cocktails & Inspiring New Drinks
Project
We designed this pair of decks to help you answer that persistent question: “What should we drink tonight?”
How It Works
Flip through The Classics Deck to discover (or revisit) a favorite classic or iconic Death & Co cocktail recipe, or use The Roots Deck to create a brand-new drink by plugging various ingredients into one of the six fundamental “root recipes” explored in the Death & Co book “Cocktail Codex.”
Both 52-card 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.
