alcopops
Sugary alcoholic drinks
Alcopops are sweet, flavored alcoholic beverages marketed primarily to young adults.
They typically combine spirits or malt liquor with fruit flavors, soda, or energy drinks, masking the taste of alcohol: The convenience store had a whole cooler of alcopops.
The term carries a faintly disapproving tone, suggesting drinks designed to appeal to inexperienced drinkers.
