Why Meexa Tastes Better at 30,000 Feet
Share
The unexpected science behind your new favourite travel drink. You’ve boarded your flight, you’re settling into your seat, and the drinks trolley rolls around. Oddly enough, a Bloody Mary sounds better than your usual G&T or wine, and that’s not just you. It’s science.
But what if Meexa, our bold ready-to-drink Michelada, might just be the perfect in-flight upgrade to the classic Bloody Mary? A drink made for spice lovers, holiday goers, and jet-setters alike.
Here’s why Meexa doesn’t just taste great on the ground. It may actually taste better in the sky.
Why Bloody Marys Taste Better on Planes
Studies by Lufthansa and Cornell University have shown that airplane cabin conditions can dull sweet and salty flavours, while umami-rich ingredients, like tomato, soy, and spice, tend to stay bold.
That’s why Bloody Marys thrive at altitude, and why Meexa, with its spicy tomato-lime beer blend, is built for the same effect.
Why Meexa Is the Ultimate In-Flight Michelada
Meexa combines lager, lime, tomato, chilli, and savoury depth inspired by classic Michelada recipes.
- Fizz cuts through dry cabin air
- Umami and spice stay expressive at altitude
- Acidity from lime keeps the serve bright
- Chilli heat wakes up a dulled palate
While other drinks can fall flat on a plane, Meexa is designed to stay bold, bright, and refreshing.
Lower ABV, Fresher Landing
Air travel already takes a toll on your body. Pressurised cabins, dry air, and long travel days can all contribute to dehydration and fatigue. Traditional high-strength cocktails can amplify that groggy, post-flight feeling.
Meexa’s lower ABV makes it a smarter travel sip. It delivers big flavour without the heavy spirit hit, helping keep the moment lighter, brighter, and more refreshing.
Your Holiday Mood, Canned
Whether you're:
- Flying out to a beach getaway
- Coming home from a long trip
- Sipping in the airport lounge
- Heading from the airport to your stay
Meexa delivers that first-sip-of-the-holiday feeling in seconds. It’s light enough to refresh, spicy enough to excite, and bold enough to replace bland lagers or overly sweet canned cocktails.
Built for Travel
- Recyclable can: no glass, no fuss
- Compact and portable: easy for bags, coolers, and gatherings
- Lower ABV: better suited to lighter travel days
