FAQ's
![SERVING_SUGGESTIONS](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/serving.avif)
What is the best way to serve Death On A Lead?
The best way to serve Death On A Lead is to chill the ingredients before serving. Use a shot glass as recommended. Pouring the absinthe, lime juice, and raspberry liqueur directly into the glass without shaking or stirring preserves the distinct layers and flavors, making it a visually appealing and potent shot.
![INGREDIENT_SUBSTITUTIONS](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/ingredient_swap.avif)
Can I substitute any ingredients in Death On A Lead if I don't have them?
Yes, if you don't have raspberry liqueur, you could try a similar berry liqueur or a berry-flavored syrup for a non-alcoholic version, though this will alter the taste and alcohol content. If absinthe isn't available, anise-flavored spirits like Sambuca or Pernod could be used, but they will create a different flavor profile.
![ALCOHOL_CONTENT_COMPARISON](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/alcohol_comparison.avif)
How does the alcohol content of Death On A Lead compare to other shots?
With an alcohol content of 21.67%, Death On A Lead is relatively strong compared to many other shots, which can vary widely in alcohol content from around 15% to 50%. It's stronger than a beer or a wine but slightly less potent than taking a straight shot of absinthe or other spirits.
![OCCASION_SUITABILITY](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/occasion.avif)
For what occasions is Death On A Lead most suitable?
Given its strong flavor and high alcohol content, Death On A Lead is best suited for occasions like Halloween parties, themed night events, or as a bold start to a night out with friends. Its unique name and presentation make it a memorable choice for celebrations that lean towards the adventurous.
![CUSTOMIZATION_IDEAS](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/customization.avif)
How can I customize Death On A Lead to suit my taste?
You can customize Death On A Lead by adjusting the ratios of ingredients to favor your taste preference.
