quencher

Drink that satisfies

A quencher is something that quenches—typically thirst.

The word appears most often in the phrase thirst quencher, describing a refreshing drink.

Sports beverages and lemonades market themselves as quenchers.

Less commonly, anything that satisfies or extinguishes might be called a quencher: a curiosity quencher, a flame quencher.
