sipper
Not a guzzler
A sipper is someone who sips—drinks in small, unhurried amounts: She's a sipper, not a gulper.
The word also names vessels designed for sipping: a coffee sipper, a sippy cup for toddlers.
In cocktail culture, a sipper is a drink meant to be savored slowly rather than downed quickly.
