By our estimate, MEATliquor Brighton’s cocktail menu will soon be as famous as B-Town’s famous beach itself. First of all, our cocktails are just as, if not more, refreshing than a dip in the ocean. They’re just as great to socialise around, and they share the same timeless appeal. That doesn’t even begin to describe the mood-enhancing qualities of a MEATliquor Brighton cocktail.

For reals now, we’ve put a lot of time and effort into creating the perfect cocktails for you to enjoy. Whether you’re visiting the coast to catch some sun or a local looking for a new haunt, we’ve got the cocktails, beers, burgers, and vibe you’re craving.

In the mood for something sweet and tangy at the same time? Try the Mangorita – Pueblo Viejo Blanco Tequila, Mango Eau De Vie, Mango Cordial, Agave & Lime, shaken over ice in a rocks glass. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, go for the Grog 2.1 – a blend of El Dorado rums, Skippers’ rum, and Monkey Shoulder fresh, with a dose of overproof rum that adds more than just a little bit of a kick.

If you’re more of a whisky person, Drunken Monkey’s got your name on it – Monkey Shoulder Original, Paddy’s Whiskey, Apricot, Ginger, Honey, Vanilla, Apple Juice and Lemon Juice all work together to bring out the best in this beloved spirit. For those who like a bit of heat, we recommend the Two Ton of Fun is a perfect choice. Buffalo Trace, Falernum Liquer, Triple Sec, Pimento Dram & Lemon juice.

And don’t forget our house cocktails for just £9 a pop – Buffalo Old Fashioned and Negroni with East London Liquor Co. Gin, Doppelganger Aperitivo and Antica Formula.

This is only the tip of the iceberg. We’ve got plenty more on offer, and we’re only a 10-minute walk from Brighton Palace Pier. Come wrap up a day at the beach with the perfect cocktails and the best burgers in Brighton.

It’s not a question of if we’re running a deal, it’s when.
