well drink
Bar's cheap option
A well drink is a cocktail made with the bar's cheapest house liquor—the bottles kept in the "well" within easy reach of the bartender.
Distinguished from "call" drinks where you specify a brand: I'll just have a well vodka tonic.
The quality varies by establishment, but well drinks are always the budget option.
