We’ve all wondered what our favorite sitcom characters would be like in real life – especially at a good old-fashioned house party. Would they be the one doing tequila shots in the kitchen, or quietly nursing a cocktail in the corner while watching the chaos unfold? From Friends to Fleabag, we’ve imagined their drink of choice. Spoiler: there’s a lot of vodka, a little chaos, and way too much Prosecco.
Creamy, chocolatey, and with just enough rum to make him say “How you doin’?” more than usual. Joey needs something snacky, drinkable, and indulgent – and a boozy milkshake hits the spot. Bonus: it doubles as dessert and a conversation starter with attractive strangers in the kitchen.
It’s iconic. It’s chaotic. It’s basically a cry for help in cocktail form. Just like her. She’s drinking it straight from the mismatched glassware she found in the host’s cupboard while dropping philosophical bombs in the middle of party banter. Will she ghost before midnight? Probably.
You know he brought his own six-pack and didn’t even put it in the fridge. Nick’s too grumpy for cocktails and too broke for wine. He’s sipping a semi-flat lager while ranting about capitalism and trying to build something out of cardboard in the living room.
Jake wants to keep things simple, fun, and dangerously close to turning into karaoke. One part nostalgia, two parts sugar rush – this drink fuels his chaotic energy and his inevitable dance-off with Boyle.

Only the chicest chaos. David needs a drink that says “I’m fashionable but anxious.” An espresso martini keeps him awake, alert, and ready to flee if the party becomes too heteronormative.
He heard it has “everything in it,” so obviously it’s the best. Michael drinks two and proceeds to do an unsolicited stand-up set in the kitchen. Someone stop him before he starts rapping.
She doesn't quite get the whole party vibe, but someone handed her a Cherry Coke with a bit of vodka and she’s into it. Keep the waffles coming.
So, whether you're a hopeless romantic like Fleabag (and her Negroni), a low-key beer guy like Nick Miller, or someone who just wants to sparkle like David Rose’s espresso martini – there’s a house party drink for every iconic character. Next time you throw a bash, maybe pour one out for your favorite sitcom friend. Just don’t let Michael Scott near the blender.
