Great, Easy Read
Superb book about a truly fascinating bar. I gotta take a trip to NYC now. Seriously fun read for pros or aspiring home bartenders like myself.

A truly wonderful book with imagery to match the cocktails and drinks. This book goes into the art and science of creating not just classic cocktails, but how to work and blend the flavours to create you own favourite mixes.
With lists of basics you'll be able to stock your bar and build on your repertoire. This is an education in the craft, and a book I've read cover to cover, not something usual for a "cookbook".

Cocktail school in a book.
Death & Co is a multi-award winning cocktail bar in New York City and this is the first book from the team there.
It’s not so much a recipe book as an explanation of the philosophy behind the bar (nothing particularly hippy dippy, just a case of bringing a culinary attitude that it’s difficult to make a good drink with second-rate ingredients), a guide to stocking a home bar (both with liquor and glassware) as well as the drink recipes themselves.
Some of the ingredients are definitely in the niche end of the liquor cabinet, but working your through this should make a reasonable bartender of anyone.

A beautiful book full of aspirational cocktails that I will never actually be able to make because sourcing the ingredients would cost a fortune. But it's nice to dream.
This is such an exquisite book. I gifted this to both my husband and my brother-in-law for Christmas, but finally sat down to read it myself after tasting a handful of the recipes. It's very informative, and fascinating to see the process of creating a well crafted cocktail. The majority of the ingredients here aren't your bartending basics, and if you're a novice you may never have heard of most of them, and there's several that will require some effort and patience because they're handmade, but if you're up for the challenge it will be worth it. This is a book for those who really love the craft. It's a lot like baking: pure chemistry. The right ingredients in the right amounts can create something truly amazing, and the possibilities are endless.
