Netflix’s Squid Game built a universe of bright pink tracksuits, eerie children’s games, and one massive prize pool , and then made it Netflix’s biggest show ever. This collection captures the aesthetic: pink, green, red, stark contrasts, and one viciously-named dalgona cocktail.
Inside: Player 001’s Soju (Korean soju, served neat, slightly menacing), Dalgona Candy Martini (honey, brown sugar, a literal dalgona wafer), Red Light Green Light Layered Shot (red over green, drink fast or get eliminated), Pink Soldier Punch (pink grapefruit, vodka, fizzy lemonade, served from a pink pitcher), Guard Mask Cocktail (black absinthe, white egg-white foam, triangle-circle-square garnish), and the show’s signature Front Man Bourbon (neat, no ice, command energy).
