Rating

3.81 / 5
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. Each spirit brings its own distinct character to the mix: the whiskey provides a touch of warmth and complexity with its caramel and oak notes, the vodka offers a clean and crisp bite, and the tequila contributes an earthy kick with hints of agave. 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.
