Chinese translation: Drinks in Chinese

 I figured it’s be useful to know how to say some of the most popular beverages in Chinese.

Some of my favorites are mojitos and the cosmo. I’m not exactly savvy in ordering drinks in Chinese so trying to describe it since I didn’t know the translation was a bit difficult (when I was in China)!

I’ll save you the trouble and embarrassment of standing at the bar and not know how to order with this list of drinks.
