beverage
Something to sip
A beverage is a drink—any liquid intended for consumption.
The word is slightly formal, appearing more often on menus and in official contexts than in casual speech: The airline offers complimentary beverages.
Where you'd say Can I get you a drink? a sign might read "Food and Beverages."
