The first season of the Korean show ‘ Squid Game ’ was the most watched series ever released on Netflix, quickly racking up over 1.5 billion hours of views in its first month.
With the second season set to premier on December 26, the show has teamed up with Johnnie Walker to release a special edition: Johnnie Walker Black Label ‘Squid Game,’ complete with their iconic ‘Striding Man’ logo now donning the show’s green tracksuit and all bottles labeled with a number from 1 to 456, representing the contestants on the show. At a recent event in Times Square, rapper and comedian Lil Dicky — who’s worked with everyone from Snoop Dogg to Brad Pitt — helped launch the collaboration and we spoke about his favorite way to enjoy the whisky and whether or not he has what it would take to survive on the show. What was your first cocktail? The Moscow Mule.
I remember it came in the copper mug and I found it funny they had a specific cup for a cocktail. Do you enjoy wine as well? I’m probably more of a cocktail person, but I do drink wine. What’s your favorite spirit now? (Laughs) Well Johnnie Walker of course.
When I was in New York City with the Johnnie Walker team, they handed me a drink called the 456 (recipe below) that they created with the ‘Squid Game’ edition and it was just delicious. It was an ideal way to drink Johnnie.
