Drinks That Start With Every Letter
Here are drinks that start with every letter from A to Z: 78 in all, with examples for each letter and a full page for every letter that has enough of them.
The drinks alphabet has 78 entries. C and S lead with eleven each, followed by M with six, so those letters are easy in any game.
Several letters are bare. Q, U and X have no drinks at all, and J, N, R, V and Z have one each: jasmine tea, nectar, root beer, vegetable juice and zobo. Y offers yerba mate. Drinks from many places appear too, such as horchata and lassi, which makes the list good for talking about food and culture around the world.
