This is a '''list of national liquors'''. A national liquor is an alcoholic drink considered a standard and respected adult beverage in a given country. While many such drinks status may be informal, there is usually a general consensus in a given country that a specific drink has national status or is the "most popular liquor" in said nation. This list is distinct from [[National dish#Drink|national drinks]], which include non-alcoholic beverages.
