Tucker Death Mix

Tucker Death Mix is a cocktail invented and popularized by Tucker Max as a way to quickly become inebriated. It is comprised of three ingredients:

*1 liter grain alcohol (such as Everclear)
*1 quart Gatorade (Tucker says that lemon-lime is the "only true flavor")
*1 can Red Bull

Each batch makes slightly more than 2 liters of the 86 proof Tucker Death Mix, similar in alcohol content to a hard liquor such as vodka or rum.

Alternative Composition

A variation of the Tucker Death Mix that appears in drinksmixer.com and freedrinkrecipes.com replaces 250ml of grain alcohol with a second can of Red Bull, substituting alcohol content for flavor and caffeine. The alternative formula is as follows:

*750ml liter grain alcohol (such as Everclear)
*1 quart Lemon-Lime Gatorade
*2 cans Red Bull

The volume produced is still the same but the alcoholic content is reduced to 32.4% (65 proof). Note: drinksmixer.com has the alternative composition listed as being 59 proof, which is presumably a miscalculation.

The origins of the alternative composition of TDM are not known; however, it is worth noting that since Tucker Max was the eponymous originator of the beverage, the original proportions with higher alcohol content appearing on his website should be technically considered more correct.
