We watch a variety of shows because of our preference for a particular genre or actor, someone’s recommendation, peer pressure (GoT?) or lonely days. What starts as an inattentive watch turns into a mindful binge at times, and other times, we rewatch some series over and over again because no other sitcom out there makes us laugh as much.
These shows make you the person you are, shaping your sense of humour and attitude to different scenarios in life. We are here to tell you, after some intense research, the cocktails you should order if you have loved one of these shows.
1. The Office
The Office is one of the most popular and hilarious TV shows, successfully running for 9 seasons. If you have tried to watch only half an episode a day to make the series last longer, Paloma is your cocktail!
This tequila-based drink is a formulation of tequila, lime juice and grapefruit juice/soda. It goes perfectly with The Office because of how light-hearted it makes you feel. Drink it the next time you are watching an episode and watch how Kevin becomes the most adorable character while Michael becomes the wisest.
2. Game of Thrones
I have never watched Game of Thrones but you almost definitely have! If you are still resentful towards the D duo, sip on Mulled Wine to harness your inner anger and transfer all the energy into shipping a bag of penguin poop to their houses (seriously, https://poopsenders.com/).
Mulled Wine packs red wine, brandy, orange juice and sugar to give you enough courage while the nutmegs, cloves and cinnamon sticks give you the calm you need to pay for the bag of poop.
3. Orange is the New Black

Satan’s Whiskers
The gripping and realistic storytelling made us reach out to so many characters at Litchfield. Have a Satan’s Whiskers to keep yourself sane during the twists and turns, and to be able to root for your favourite characters.
Gin, orange liqueur and juice, and sweet and dry vermouth make this cocktail a noble drink for such a distinguished show!
4. Friends
Don’t we just keep wanting some more of the lovable friends laughing through life with unconditional support and love? Every episode had as much heart in it as the laughs. To summarise this experience, your cocktail is Yellow Scorpion!
Just shake some vodka, aniseed, pineapple juice, sugar and lime to create a cocktail that will turn your roommates/flatmates into your friends!
5. Breaking Bad
To see Walter take charge and empower his inner demons was a shocking watch. But nothing he did was ever cruel enough for us to start resenting the character. Till the end, we rooted for him. Such a show deserves a Royal Blue cocktail!
Vodka, blue curacao, cranberry and lime juice, and sugar result in one hell of a cocktail.
6. Two and a Half Men
The whole cast of Two and a Half Men made the show a laugh riot! We were sad to see Charlie Sheen get fired and Angus T. Jones appearing less in the later seasons, but the first eight seasons had us laughing relentlessly.
Twisted Whiskey Sour is your cocktail because twisted Charlie loved whiskey. Make sure it’s twisted enough by mixing 60 ml of whiskey with lime and orange juice, sugar syrup, 2-3 drops of Angostura Bitters and an orange peel for garnish.
