Cocktail Codex Promotion
March 24, 2019 by Jenny
The owners of the Death & Co. Cocktail Bars in New York and
Denver confess that there are really only six cocktails. What? Yes,
these liquor aficionados reveal their simple formula of “cocktail
families,” six easily identifiable templates that encompass all
cocktails. Their secret is out and once you understand the
intricacies of each family, you’ll know:
- why some cocktails work, and others don’t,
- when to shake and when to stir,
- what you can omit and what you can substitute when you’re missing ingredients,
- why you like the drinks you do,
- what sorts of drinks you should turn to or invent if you want to try something new.
- stunning, modern photography
- explicit instructions dedicated to each minute detail such as “how to shake with 1-inch ice cubes”
- root recipes, core recipes, classic recipes, variations
- helpful guides such as “common citrus fruits and their cocktail applications”
- glassware suggestions, bottle recommendations
- special clarifications for certain ingredients such as kieselsol or agar
- and many, many other reasons
takes you inside this beautiful title and
features the following 
- Champagne cocktail
- Snowbird
- Cold girl fever
- Ned Ryerson
- Deadpan
- Autumn old-fashioned
- Bad Santa
- Beach bonfire
I am so mesmerized by this book that I have the Death & Co. original cookbook on my wish list. I’m told that the debut title is more complicated with many sub-recipes but the photography looks stunning. If it is half as beautiful as this book, I will be pleased (or should I say I will drink to that?). I’ve decided it’s time to go on a liquid diet. Bottoms up.
