What is state beverage?

A state beverage is an alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage that is officially designated as the state's official beverage. Many states in the United States have designated state beverages, and these beverages vary widely, from alcoholic beverages such as whiskey or beer to non-alcoholic beverages such as milk or fruit juice. Some states have multiple state beverages, often designating a different beverage for different categories such as alcoholic and non-alcoholic. State beverages are often chosen to represent the state's history, culture, or agriculture.
