The Dead Meat cocktail is a potent blend intended for those who appreciate a strong, unadulterated liquor experience. Combining 30ml of whiskey, 60ml of vodka, and 30ml of tequila, this cocktail delivers a robust and assertive flavor profile.

Traditionally served in a whisky glass, the Dead Meat is a straightforward, no-frills beverage meant for sipping, often enjoyed by those who favour a bold and boozy cocktail.

FAQ's
Can I substitute any of the spirits in Dead Meat with something else?
Yes, you can make substitutions depending on your taste preferences or what you have on hand. For a lighter version, you might substitute the whiskey with a lighter bourbon or the tequila with a white rum. However, keep in mind that changing the ingredients could significantly alter the taste and strength of the cocktail.
What is the best way to serve Dead Meat?
Dead Meat is best served cold in a whisky glass, as noted. You can enhance the serving by chilling the glass beforehand. Adding a large ice cube or sphere can keep the cocktail cold longer without diluting it too rapidly.
How does the alcohol content in Dead Meat compare to other classic cocktails?
Dead Meat has a relatively high alcohol content at 40%, making it stronger than many classic cocktails like the Margarita (around 26%) or the Martini (around 32%). It's a potent mix and should be enjoyed responsibly.
What occasions are most suitable for serving Dead Meat?
Given its strong alcohol content and bold mix of flavors, Dead Meat might be most suitable for late evening occasions, likely as a nightcap. It may also fit well in small gatherings among friends who appreciate strong cocktails.
What foods pair well with Dead Meat?
Dead Meat, with its robust mix of whiskey, vodka, and tequila, pairs well with hearty, savory foods. Consider serving it with grilled meats, rich stews, or heavy appetizers like loaded nachos or spicy chicken wings to complement its strong flavors and alcohol content.
