1. Squid Game: Season 2 – Whiskey
If the Emmy-winning South Korean show Squid Game kept you on the edge of your seat, get ready – its highly anticipated second season is set to premiere worldwide on December 26, promising to raise the stakes even higher. It’s sure going to be a dark, unexpected, and intense season, so you’ll need a drink that packs just as much punch as the show itself.
Enter Amrut Fusion Whiskey – a fine Indian single malt with a smooth, smoky finish. It is rich and deep with flavors of oak, malt, and slight hints of fruit, that just makes it perfect while you’re binging on the show. Its bold and smooth flavors will perfectly set the mood as you place your bets on which character is about to have the worst day in their life. There’s no mixers needed to enjoy Amrut Fusion – just pour it neat or over some ice cubes.
2. Our Little Secret – Sula Rasa Shiraz
If adrenaline-pumping adventures aren’t for you, maybe you might like looking into the mirrorglass of human relationships and Our Little Secret is just that. It’s wholesome at times, emotional, heartwarming, and everything in between. Perfect for the days when you’re in the mood to watch something that’ll make you ponder and reflect.
And what better way to do that than pick up a glass of red wine and feel all whimsical and fancy? We recommend trying out the Sula Rasa Shiraz – the famous red wine that fits perfectly with the mood. Rich in its flavor, this Indian Shiraz brings notes of fruit and spices and tops it off with a velvety smooth finish. It’s the type of wine you often see actors sipping in dramatic movies as they deliver monologues about their relationships and experiences. Whether you’re drinking it alone with your furry friend by the side or hosting an intimate wine night with your guys and gals, the Sula Rasa Shiraz is the perfect companion for the occasion.
3. Mismatched Season 3 – Bira 91 Blonde Lager/1800 Tequila
We hardly have good coming-of-age Indian web shows that capture our generation’s stories in the most nuanced way. But, Mismatched, with its two successful seasons, makes a near-perfect attempt at that. The wholesome chemistry between Dimple, Rishi, and their coffee (if you know, you know!) has been the highlight of the show and the supporting cast of friends is equally good in their roles.
So what better way to binge-watch this light-hearted show than to gather your friends and open up some Bira 91 Blonde Lager? It’s a refreshing, crisp lager and slightly hoppy, making it an ideal drink for having with your friends. Oh, but if you’re in the mood to take things up a notch, you can go for 1800 Tequila. It adds the right amount of zing and spice and makes your binging experience all the more worthwhile. Just have it on the rocks or concoct it into a delightful Margarita. And don’t forget to have an equally decadent slice of pizza. You can thank us later!
4. The Great Indian Kapil Show – Kingfisher Ultra/Maka Zai Rum/Classic Royal Stag
Our list would be incomplete without mentioning at least one reality comedy talk show, after all that genre is everyone’s guilty pleasure. And if you’re looking for such a show, look no further than The Great Indian Kapil Show. The crew has been making us laugh for almost a decade on satellite television, and their advent to the digital OTT space only raises the bar of the show. The laugh tracks are constant, the entertainment is endless, and the humor is well-suited to Indian audiences.
You can go for a variety of drinks to enjoy this comfort show. For an all-time classic pairing, Kingfisher Ultra must be your drink of choice. Light, fizzy, crisp, and best had when chilled, the drink will surely elevate your binging experience. But, if you’re looking for a punch to pair with the comedic punches of the show, you can go for our beloved Goa’s Maka Zai Rum. It’s smooth, with a dash of caramel; and the best part is that you can have it neat or mix it into a cocktail. And if you’re not a fan of experimenting and looking for a good old classic, you should definitely try the Classic Royal Stag whiskey. This quintessentially Indian drink is a must have if you’re inviting over friends and family as you binge watch and laugh your heart out to Kapil Sharma’s hilarious antics.
