alcopop
Sugary alcoholic soda
An alcopop is a sweet, brightly colored alcoholic drink marketed to appeal to younger drinkers—typically a carbonated malt beverage or spirit mixed with fruit flavoring.
The term, more common in British English, often carries disapproving connotations, suggesting drinks designed to mask the taste of alcohol: Critics blame alcopops for encouraging underage drinking.
