# Deceased Rodent Liqueurs Dead Mice Wine is Made with the Purpose of Curing Diseases By Nicole Ballantyne-Choo | Published 2013-12-16 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dead-mice-wine References: [incrediblethings](http://www.incrediblethings.com/food/dead-baby-mice-wine/) & [ohgizmo](http://www.ohgizmo.com/2013/12/12/so-this-is-baby-mice-wine/) While dead mice wine is a medicinal drink that is supposed to cure asthma and liver diseases, chances are it'll be tough to get people to take a sip. This [liqueur](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-woodruff-liqueur) is said to be of Chinese origin and sadly, in order to make it, you'd need around a dozen [dead baby mice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crayfish-gin). The mice must be less than three days old, and they are actually drowned in [rice wine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mulled-white-wine) and left there for anywhere between 12 and 14 months. After this time has passed, the drowned mice are apparently safe to drink. Even if mice aren't your favorite animals, having a few sitting at the bottom of your drink is probably not your idea of getting revenge on the tiny creatures. People who have tasted dead mice wine say it tastes like gasoline, so I'd suggest looking for other ways to get rid of asthma than sipping on deceased rodents. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Medicinal Beverages:** Opportunity for developing alternative medicinal beverages that offer novel health benefits. - **Alternative Remedies:** Potential for creating innovative alternative remedies for asthma and liver diseases. - **Unconventional Ingredients:** Exploration of unusual and unconventional ingredients in the beverage industry for unique product offerings. ### Who This Affects Most - **Health and Wellness:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to create new health and wellness products using unconventional ingredients. - **Beverage:** Opportunity for beverage companies to develop alternative remedies and medicinal drinks. - **Alternative Medicine:** Innovative approaches in alternative medicine to explore unique remedies and treatments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Berry-Flavored Cream Liqueurs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dead-mans-fingers-cream-liqueur.md) - [Dark Mountain Water Wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-death-2.md) - [Cultivated Mouse Cat Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biocraft-pet-nutrition.md) - [Ominously Dark Red Wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/severed-red.md) - [Crab-Flavored Whiskeys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crab-trapper.md) - [Rabbit-Themed Cognac Decanters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-martell-1.md) - [Poison-Inspired Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-alchemist.md) - [Milk Punch Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gettin-milky-with-nu.md) - [Wine-Soaked Goat Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-drunken-goat.md)
