craft beverages
Small-batch libations
Craft beverages are drinks produced by small, independent operations emphasizing quality, traditional methods, or distinctive ingredients over mass production.
The term covers craft beer, craft cocktails, craft spirits, and craft sodas.
The label implies artisanal care and often local sourcing: The taproom features rotating craft beverages from regional producers.
Marketing has stretched the term considerably.
