Clear, Colourless Drinks
An official Krillion prompt (Dive #110): name a clear, colourless drink. Water is free — the game pays for what's in the bartender's back bar. The trap in this prompt is that several famous drinks LOOK clear but fail the rule (beer is gold, wine is red), and one famous drink LOOKS dark but passes (black coffee).

Rarity-ranked list
Read bottom-up when you study, top-down when you need a safe answer. Tiers: Obvious (everyone types it) → Common → Uncommon → Rare → Gem (one in a krillion).
| Entry | Rarity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Water | Obvious | Free answer, zero depth. |
| Vodka | Common | The crowd's spirit pick. |
| Gin | Common | Clear despite botanicals. |
| Sprite / lemon-lime soda | Common | Clear sodas count. |
| White rum | Uncommon | People say 'rum' and picture dark — specify white. |
| Seltzer / sparkling water | Uncommon | Distinct from plain water. |
| Rice vinegar | Uncommon | Clear-ish kitchen domain switch. |
| White cranberry juice | Rare | The white variant of a famously red drink. |
| Barley tea | Rare | Looks amber when brewed strong — brew-light is colourless; call carefully. |
| Aquavit ✓ | Rare | Officially accepted in Dive #110: +60, ~1,187 co-selects. Scandinavian caraway spirit. |
| Brennivín ✓ | Gem | Official example on Dive #110's results screen: +100. Iceland's caraway 'black death' schnapps. |
✓ = confirmed by playing the official dive ourselves.
Traps & near-misses
- Black coffee looks dark but counts as a 'clear liquid' in diet contexts — whether the game accepts it is a rules question, not a colour question.
- Beer fails: it's gold, not colourless — the most common wrong answer.
- Wine fails: red, rosé, even most whites have colour.
- 'Colourless' vs 'transparent': pale yellow drinks (some tequilas) sit on the line — judge strictly.
How this helps in the dive
Drink prompts reward bar-back-bar knowledge: the clear spirits family is deep, and national specialties (aquavit, Brennivín) are where gems hide.
