Alcoholic drinks from the world

This could work similarly to the current sports premium stamps that do appear in different countries from time to time, with stamps of drinks from the whole world appearing at specific stores occasionally. Some examples I can think of:
- Fernet ; An amaro, bitter, aromatic and strong spirit. Mostly consumed in Argentina and Italy
- Pisco ; An special kind of brandy consumed in Chile and Peru
- Rakija or Rakia ; Traditional fruit spirits or brandys from the balkans.
- Caña ; A rum-ish spiced drink traditionally consumed in a great part of south america, particularly Paraguay and Argentina
- Orujo ; Spaniard pomace brandy (the liquor obtained from the distillation of marc, the solid remains left after pressing of the grape)
- Absinthe ; anise-flavoured spirit derived from several plants. Originally from Switzerland but very popular worldwide. Known for it's heavy alcohol %
And so on. Suggestions about local drinks of your countries are appreciated in the comments!

Hreat idea! I would add Mexican TEQUILA, MEZCAL AND PULQUE.
Inchiostro Nero
These are all great ideas. Personally I would also like Irish beer.

A nice idea!
I would add :
- Port wine, a delicacy appreciated all over the world. A fortified wine (some brandy is added to it to stop the fermentation), it is enjoyed by itself for the flavour, or along with deserts as it is sweet due to the high sugar content of the grapes.
- Aguardente, or pinga, bagaceira : distilate drinks made from sugar cane, or the left-over bagasse in the case of the 'bagaceira'. Aguardente is the most popular strong drink in Brazil, similar to the Caribbean's Rum. Bagaceira, or Grappa in Italy, is made from the leftover pressed grapes after the juice is extracted for wine production.
- Vermouth : a delightful light drink (which I am drinking to relax as I type this, end of the day) is made from wine and herbs. Martini is one major brand, Cinzano is another. These can be used for mixing drinks, and also taste very nice on their own, maybe with an ice cube or two.

That could be nice! Here in Brazil we already have the "Caipirinha" stamp, but maybe they could add a "Cachaça" one.

istovx: yes for sure! 😜👍
Which reminds me, maybe include a Margarita ???

ImpossibleTwin: Well, that would be appropriate for a Cocktail series, not base drinks - but I like that too and it'll probably result in stamps that'll be quite visually appealing! A classic cocktails stamp set, perhaps? With Margarita, Negroni, Martini, Old fashioned, Bloody mary... Could work very well

reincidente: Yes - the Cocktail set could be a nice one indeed.
