welcome drink

Greeting in liquid

A welcome drink is a complimentary beverage offered to guests upon arrival at a hotel, resort, wedding, or other event.

The gesture signals hospitality and sets a tone of generosity: The resort greeted us with a welcome drink of chilled coconut water.

Welcome drinks range from champagne at upscale venues to fruit punch at casual gatherings.
