Stranger Things does mood like no other show on streaming , 80s neon, dripping dread, small-town dives, and one very specific shade of red. This collection is built for that vibe. Dim the lights, put the turntable on, and start mixing.
Inside you’ll find the Upside Down (dark, smoky, with a purple swirl that inverts when you stir), the Demogorgon (red-black with teeth-like toothpicks), Eleven’s Eggo-Waffle Shot (amaretto, maple, whipped cream), Hopper’s Whiskey (bourbon, smoked ice, no nonsense), Hawkins Lab Punch (batch cocktail with glowing blue curaçao), and a full roster of 80s-nostalgia drinks from wine coolers to Long Island Iced Teas.
Built for the season-by-season rewatch, the Hawkins-themed birthday, and any night that needs a D&D-bar vibe.
Hosting a Stranger Things Binge?
Season 1: 80s-appropriate drinks. Wine coolers, pina coladas, Harvey Wallbangers, Long Island Iced Teas. Set the retro tone.
Season 2-3: escalate to Starcourt Mall tiki drinks: Mai Tais, Pina Coladas, mall-food-court margaritas.
Season 4: when the tone goes dark, switch to the Upside Down cocktail, Vecna’s Curse, and Running Up That Hill whisky sours.
Pair with: Eleven’s Eggos (with real maple syrup), Surfer Boy Pizza, Scoops Ahoy ice cream, homemade Demogorgon dip with veggie platter.
For designated drivers / under-21s: every cocktail has a mocktail version. The Upside Down works beautifully with non-alcoholic amaro.
