Ted Lasso: Black Velvet
It may not be the local British pub, but your bar cart can certainly provide some great Ted Lasso vibes. And if you want a fun mix of the favorite drinks of the show’s two leads Ted (beer) and Rebecca (champs), try a Black Velvet, a frothy pairing of the two equally festive drinks. Apple TV+
Euphoria: Unicorn Kisses Cocktail

Espresso martinis feel apropo in the sense that one certainly needs a heaping dose of caffeine to keep up with the hilarious, ever-changing antics of the three dynamic leads in this mystery-comedy series. For extra richness and cozy fall vibes, try a recipe with Baileys. Hulu
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel: Gin Fizz
Gin cocktails are a fun retro drink that also happen to be sprinkled throughout this beloved girl-powered show (set in the late 1950s). Be your own Mrs. Maisel (sans standup comedy routine) with a lively Gin Fizz. Amazon
Succession: New York Sour

Stranger Things: The Upside Down Cocktail
Yes, there’s an actual drink out there dubbed the Upside Down Cocktail, so even if tequila and cranberry juice aren’t up your alley, it’s likely worth a sip on Emmys night. Feel free to sub in vodka or gin, if that’s more your style. Anything can happen in Upside Down, after all. Netflix
The White Lotus: Blue Hawaiian
One must go tropical for this Hawaii-based show, and as colorful and fruity as possible, too. Go for a vibrant colored drink like a Blue Hawaiian and top it off with a festive umbrella to really bring it home. Photograph by Mario Perez/HBO
