Comedies
’30 Rock’
What do you call a white rum with diet ginger ale and a splash of lime? It depends on who you ask. On Emmy night, celebrate this award-winning comedy’s final season with Jack Donaghy’s signature drink.
Nancy Drew
(for men, it’s called a Hardy Boy)
1 1/2 oz. white rum
diet ginger ale
splash of lime

The ultimate hipster drink inspired by the most authentically inauthentic hipsters on television. Do you have a dollar in your pocket? Buy yourself a PBR and add a little zest on Emmy night.
PBR Lunchbox
3/4 bottle Pabst Blue Ribbon beer
1 shot amaretto almond liqueur

This drink perfectly sums up Louis C.K.’s dry and wry sense of humor. On Emmy night, with this cocktail in hand, you’ll feel like just another audience member in one of his favorite Manhattan comedy clubs.

‘The Big Bang Theory’
Apparently Penny makes a mean Grasshopper, because Raj’s signature drink gives him all the bravado he needs to talk to the ladies.
