Here you will find a complete list of French bar vocabulary words including names of drinks as well as useful phrases. Overall, the words for alcoholic beverages are quite easy to learn as many are taken from English. For example, to say “rum and coke” you say: “le rhum coca” and to say “gin tonic” you say, “le gin tonic“.
