quaff
Gulp with gusto
Quaff means to drink heartily or in one long draft, suggesting enjoyment rather than mere thirst: He quaffed his ale and called for another.
The word has a literary, slightly archaic flavor—more likely to appear in fantasy novels or beer advertisements than everyday speech.
A quaff is such a drink.
