Answer: Blackcurrant
An old school Snakebite should contain a dash of blackcurrant cordial. Alternatively, it is possible to ask for a 'Snakebite and black'. The American version sometimes uses stout instead of lager.

Answer: rice
Saki is made using fermented rice. While many may refer to it as a wine, it is actually closer to a beer as far as the processing and fermentation practices used are concerned. It has a mildly sweet taste, is light in color, and is non-carbonated. In Japan the drink is served warm in small porcelain cups. There are historical records that document the brewing of sake in Japan for over 1,500 years.

Answer: Cuba Libre
The Cuba Libre is thought to have originated in Havana, Cuba, around the year 1900, invented by patriots aiding Cubans in the Spanish-American war. There are differing accounts of its history though. The Cuba Libre is more commonly referred to in Western cultures as just plain "Rum and Coke". I think this drink would be too ordinary for my friend Rachel, but much too potent for a llama.

Answer: B-52
Creator Peter Fich was a fan of the band, and named shooters after his favourite bands. The B-52 is a layered shot, with a coffee liqueur such as Kahlúa at the bottom, Irish cream in the middle, and Grand Marnier on the top (Cointreau or triple sec can be used instead). Variations include a B-51, which uses Frangelico hazelnut liqueur as the top layer; B-53, which substitutes Sambuca for Irish cream; and B-55 or B-52 Gunship, which substitutes absinthe for triple sec.
The shooter caught on amongst Arsenal fans during Nicklas Bendtner's time at the club, where he was nicknamed B-52 after wearing a number 52 shirt.

Jeff Berry is the author of Beachbum Berry's Grog Log (1998), while Sven Kirsten is known for writing The Book of Tiki (2000).

Answer: Red Bull
Jaegermeister was, and is, one of my favourite drinks - it's a German liqueur containing a mixture of herbs, including aniseed, liquorice and ginger. In Germany, the Jaegerbomb is known as a 'fliegender Hirsch' (flying stag), while the Finnish version is an 'Akkuhapo' or 'battery acid' (Battery is a Finnish energy drink). The (untrue and dangerous) idea is that the caffeine in the Red Bull, or another energy drink of choice, counters the alcohol in the Jaegermeister.
A 'Jaeger train' is a sequence of Jaegerbombs being created by lining up pint glasses and balancing shot glasses on the rims, with the idea of creating a domino effect with the shot glasses.

Green Chartreuse has been made by the monks at the Grand Chartreuse Monastery for over 250 years. It has a very strong flavor that comes from a mixture of over 130 flowers and herbs.
