Drinks
Alcohol, and everything around it.
Spirits, beer, and wine stay separate from water, coffee, tea, and soft drinks. Fermented drinks can still contain a little alcohol. Nothing here can be ordered.
Non-alcoholic drinks by country
Traditional drinks and soft-drink names. Not recipes, not sugar figures, and not for sale. A few fermented drinks can still contain a little alcohol.
Alcohol
- WhiskyGrain and malt spirits shaped by place, cask, and blending tradition. Spellings vary; this directory uses whisky unless a label says otherwise.
- VodkaA neutral spirit. Character, when it shows up, usually comes from base ingredient, water, filtration, or a flavour addition.
- GinA spirit defined by juniper, with other botanicals depending on the house style.
- RumA sugarcane spirit. Colour is a poor guide: it can come from cask, caramel, or both.
- TequilaA Mexican agave spirit with a protected production region. No tequila product is in this demo set.
- MezcalA Mexican agave spirit with its own geographic and production rules, often more variable in aroma than tequila. No mezcal product is in this demo set.
