LISTICLE: 10 Netflix and drink originals
Do your big summer plans involve hiking and water skiing? Or, do your summer plans involve something less adventurous, like watching Netflix all day? If you are 21 years old or older, spice up your binge by pairing the shows with drinks!
1. Fuller House
The Drink: Frozen Daiquiri
As a spinoff of the show “Full House,” “Fuller House” provides the same feel-good family moments with D.J. Tanner raising three kids in a home with her sister Stephanie Tanner and best friend Kimmy. Pair the show with a sweet daiquiri to relive your sugary childhood. If you really want to go back in time, drink a virgin daiquiri.
2. The Ranch
The Drink: Beer, or shots of Jameson
“The Ranch” stars Ashton Kutcher as a former semi-professional football player who returns home to work on the family ranch. What happens when you put a football player, dad, brother and a ranch together? The answer is beer.
3. Grace and Frankie
The Drink: Martini, extra dirty
Two women who were lifetime rivals find out that their husbands are in love and want to marry each other. The life change forces Grace and Frankie to form a bond and turn to each other for comfort. Enjoy a timeless drink like a martini when watching the timeless actresses Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin grow their friendship.
4. Narcos
The Drink: Spanish coffee
Drinking rum and coffee will make you feel like you are a part of the action in Colombia. Leave the drugs, murders and running from the police to Pablo Escobar.
5. Sense8
The Drink: Long island iced tea
“Sense8” brings people from around the world together by visions. A long island iced tea brings together multiple alcohols and has the ability to also give visions if you drink too many.
6. 13 Reasons Why
The Drink: Moscato wine
“13 Reasons Why” will make you feel sad and you might even cry. Feel classy while crying with a glass of wine. Also, have a bowl of ice cream ready for some comfort.
7. House of Cards
The Drink: Jim Beam Devil’s Cut Bourbon Whiskey, neat
Here’s your chance to pretend you’re in the Oval Office! Pour yourself a glass of whiskey, neat to really feel like you’re a politician who just had a hard day at the office.
8. Stranger Things
The Drink: Jagerbombs
Do you want to travel to the upside down? A couple of Jagerbombs should do the trick.
9. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
The Drink: Pinot Noir wine
“Pinot Noir. Caviar. Myanmar. Mid-sized car.” Feel just like Titus when he made the music video “Peeno Noir” by drinking pinot noir.
10. Orange is the New Black
The Drink: Hooch-margaritas
You can’t drink alcohol in prison, but if you have a friend like Poussey Washington, she can make toilet hooch for you. If you don’t feel like drinking something from a toilet, drink hooch or moonshine while watching “Orange is the New Black.”
