If you want some history around the tradition of drinking around the world, it wasn't started by the patrons, it was started by animators and imagineers and became popular when the 3d department started to have problem, with 3d coming in. I was lucky enough to become friends with many of those original group when i first worked for the mouse as an actor, most of them are gruff old turds now, but they were pretty fun. One of them even went out of their to help me learn to draw. I'm a smaller person, so i never made it very far, usually i just got one of those hollowed out pineapple drinks and slowly nursed that. I'm a "girl drink" drunk.

The thing to realize about Baijiu is that the one that's been featured on this show before - Kinmen Kaoling - is not exactly the nice stuff. It is drank in Taiwan as a sort of rite-of-passage thing. Like drinking Everclear at a frat party. It is also the cheapest alcohol/price ratio you can get in Taiwan. There's plenty of baijiu that taste way nicer. There might also be some that taste worse.

I feel like that's what 'shochu' is in Japan. You can find gallons/liters of the stuff...I'm talking a massive plastic container of pure alcohol, for about 10-15 USD. It's basically jet fuel though and it's what they use for 90% of cocktails here (with the exception of higher class bars). Japanese cocktails are generally disappointing though as most are simply a little syrup, a little shochu, and a lot of tonic/soda water. Easy to drink but very unimpressive.

Putting a brand name in there makes it sound tacky but the US doesn't have a generic term so the options are limited. Also iirc Sprite is specifically lemon and lime; a lot of generic British lemonade is *just* Vaguely Lemon Flavoured. No lime. (My go-to drink is Amaretto and lemonade, and a lot of branded lemonades are just *too* lemon-forward for it to work properly. Sometimes you *need* the cheap non-branded supermarket stuff.)

Finally someone who actually analyzes each drink beyond sweet = good.

We're decently big on cocktails here in Norway. Drinking out is just expensive, so we mostly stick to a handful of classics that we make at home.

But some distinctly Norwegian cocktails, which are pretty damn good, are: Oslo Mule Fjellbekk (Mountain Stream) Sure Sivert Last one might be difficult to find a recipe in English, so: 2 cl vodka 2 cl Pisang Ambon 2 cl sour mix 1 cl cream Shake, strain into a highball glass with ice, and top with Sprite.
