8 TV Drinks We'd Like To See In Real Life Slideshow
'Boardwalk Empire'
Uh, hello? Boardwalk Empire so needs a bathtub gin to go along with the Prohibition-era thing. Think of all the Gin Fizzes and Gin and Tonics we could make during season 4!
Who should make it: Brooklyn Gin could definitely pull off a good "bathtub"-esque gin for Boardwalk lovers.
'True Blood'
Red wine, obviously. While we've seen a lot of blood-red cocktails swirling around for True Blood this season, True Blood needs a drink that's as seductive as the show.
Who should make it: Penfolds makes one sexy shiraz, we'll take it.
'Girls'
Now that we think about it, it's rare that we see the characters of Girls drinking (minus Adam's tiny relapse). And as much as we'd like to say that Cafe Grumpy should pay homage to Ray and Hannah, we know that Cafe Grumpy is just too cool for that. So how about another Brooklyn distillery jump on a spirit dedicated to Girls?
Who should make it: We pick Kings County Distillery to make a bourbon for the gang; after all, more women are drinking whiskey, and bourbon seems like a good match for our sweet-with-a-kick foursome.
'Mad Men'
Whiskey, obviously. While we like that Roger Sterling has the vodka thing down, we can't deny the power of Jon Hamm sipping on that whiskey.
Who should make it: Serious Eats notes that Don Draper's been known to sip on a blended Canadian whiskey, so we'll nominate Forty Creek Distillery to take on the job.
'New Girl'
While we'd love to find an appropriate vodka for the boys to sip on "bro juice," we nominate a craft beer. Here's why: you know that Schmidt'd be all up in that. Jess would drink it, maybe (but hey, more girls are sipping on craft beer, too). Winston would probably dig it, and we might even get Nick Miller on board — maybe he'd drink it at the bar! Besides, a good craft beer would be a nice alternative after surviving endless amounts of cheap beer during True American.
Who should do it: We'll pick a Los Angeles favorite, Angel City Brewery. Get on it, please!
'Parks and Recreation'
How has no one made a snake juice yet?! People, please do it: anything to see Ron Swanson dance like this.
Who should do it: Since Tom Haverford describes his concoction as "a high end Kahlua," we'd definitely like to see Kahlua take this one on. Even though the rest of the Parks gang called it "rat poison," we believe Kahlua can turn snake juice into something drinkable (and maybe a little less potent).
'Cougartown'
Hello, wineries: you're missing out on your most perfect spokesperson ever by not giving Cougartown its own red wine. After all, look how Courtney Cox can down that red wine!
Who should make it: How about Domaine Carneros, for a good Napa pinot noir?
'30 Rock'
Yes, we know 30 Rock is no longer on the air — but we know you'll still be binge-watching to mourn the loss of your favorite show gone. And even though Liz Lemon has experimented in Scotch and "business drunk" with Jack ("It's like rich drunk; either way it's legal to drive," says Jack), we know what her true drink is: "funky juice," basically a white wine spritzer.
Who should make it: We Like Gallo's Moscato already, which in some ways is probably as sweet as Lemon's white wine creation. We nominate Gallo to bottle that "funky juice" for all of our Friday nights in with 30 Rock on.
