The Netflix Bites pop-up at MGM Grand takes immersive dining to new heights, bringing fan-favorite shows to life in every dish and drink. From a cotton candy-topped Mind Flayer cocktail (Stranger Things) to an impromptu Is It Cake? challenge with dessert, every menu item is crafted to turn a meal into an experience.
One cocktail in particular caught our attention.
A Ripple Maker Cocktail That Lets You Play the Game
The Squid Game-inspired Pink Soldier cocktail at Netflix Bites turns ordering into a moment of suspense.
Made with gin, Korean soju, and prickly pear, it’s finished with a custom drink print created in seconds using the Ripple Maker drink printer. Each print features one of the iconic Squid Game symbols, a square or a triangle, matching the masks worn by the show’s Pink Guards.
As The Hollywood Reporter describes:
“If you get a square, you are a manager, and a triangle means you are a soldier — your server decides.”
This interactive element turns a simple drink order into a shareable, TikTok-worthy moment.
Why Ripples is the Ultimate Tool for Experiential Menus
More than ever, hospitality is about creating experiences that customers can’t get at home. With Ripples drink printing technology, any bar can offer:
- Gamified Cocktails – The Ripple Maker’s Surprise Mode setting lets you print randomized designs, perfect for awarding prizes or unlocking exclusive offers.
- Hidden Messages – GLOW Pods create UV-reactive prints only visible under black light.
- Themed Moments – Fully customizable designs for curated specials, promotions, and events.
Netflix Bites is proving that interactive drinks are the future of hospitality, and we’re thrilled that Ripples is part of the experience.
