In 1919 the Volstead Act brought a swift end to nightlife, and the refined craft of the American bartender was outlawed. It was thought that to drink alcohol was to live a live shadowed by death. It was thought by some that these were death and company. It’s taken us nearly a century to restore flavor to the drink and class to the specialty cocktails. In our time, a night to celebrate life’s simple pleasures with fine wine, exquisitely crafted cocktails, beautifully prepared food, and impeccable sipping spirits is a rare gift. To those who sun the night, we tip our hat. To those who shine after dusk, we offer a warm embrace. Welcome to the new golden age. Welcome to Death & Co.

This original recipe is brought to us by Bread & Gin. Here’s how they describe their website:

Drinking as we know is a repetitive game. At BREAD&GIN, we believe that no matter how much you develop your drinking habit you’re still on the decline, so might as well decline in style. We do our best to propagate unruly behavior through irreverent videos that takes the voodoo out of mixology. Our goal is for you to have fun making your own drinks and hopefully inspire others in debauchery. Happy mixing and keep up the decline.
