About this drink idea wheel
This wheel starts with non-alcoholic drinks for an afternoon break or a casual gathering. Some of the entries need nothing more than a glass and a tap; others need fruit, a blender, or a kettle, so the list covers both the instant answer and the one worth a few minutes.
Named drinks are more useful than categories. If you keep six kinds of tea, replace the single “herbal tea” entry with the six actual flavours, and the result becomes something you can act on without a second decision. The same goes for a café menu: type in what they serve and let the wheel pick.
Two saved versions tend to beat one general list. A warm wheel for winter afternoons and a cold wheel for summer are a better fit than a single list you disable half of each time. Each one saves separately on this device, so you can switch between them without rebuilding anything.
Random is the natural mode: drinks repeat without anyone minding. No Repeats has one specific use — working through a set of flavours you want to try without doubling back — and Fair Round has no real purpose here unless you are assigning one drink per person and want each option used once.
For a group, the honest caveat is that a wheel should not decide for other people what they drink. Use it to choose what you are making, or what the table is trying next, and let anyone opt out. The wheel also has nothing to say about caffeine, sugar, or hydration; it picks a name from your list.

Questions about the drink idea wheel
Are all the starters alcohol-free?
Yes. The initial list contains only non-alcoholic drink ideas. You control any later edits.
Can I make a tea flavor picker?
Replace the entries with the tea flavors you have. Keep weights equal to give each enabled flavor the same chance.
Can it select a drink for each guest?
It can produce one result per spin, but guests should still choose whether the suggestion suits them.
