In German Drinks means cocktails and mixed drinks handed round at an occasion; the general word for anything you drink is Getränke. Asking a café for zwei Drinks sounds like ordering two cocktails at eleven in the morning — there you want zwei Getränke.
The grammar shows how recent the loan is. It is der Drink in the singular and die Drinks in the plural, with the English -s carried across intact instead of a German ending — the same treatment German gives die Laptops and die Teams. Older borrowings were germanised; the ones from the last few decades were not.
Getränk beverage
The everyday German word, and the one on any menu. Neuter: das Getränk.
Getränke drinks, beverages
The plural, and what you actually order. Drinks would narrow it to alcohol.
Bier beer
Not usually called a Drink — that word implies something mixed.
Bar bar
Where Drinks belongs. The card's own example says so: die Drinks werden an der Bar gemischt.
