Netflix’s Sweet Tooth is a strange, melancholy, beautiful show about a deer-boy growing up in the post-pandemic wilderness. The cocktail menu honours that: rustic, maple-forward, seasonal, and surprisingly tender.
Inside: Maple Syrup Moonshine (Vermont maple, corn whisky, a warm pour), Deer Antler Cocktail (bourbon, chestnut syrup, a rosemary-sprig ‘antler’ garnish), Hybrid Punch (a batched cocktail that mixes multiple fruit flavours, reflecting the show’s hybrid kids), Gus’s Blackberry Mocktail (kid-friendly, post-apocalyptic sweet), The Sick Bourbon (neat, reflective, melancholy), and Preserve’s Last Drink (a wistful end-of-the-world cocktail).

Season 3: closing mood. Deer Antler Cocktails and Preserve’s Last Drink for the finale.
Pair with: homestyle comfort food, maple bacon, chestnut soup, berry crumble, anything that feels like a home-cooked meal in a broken world.
