This topic introduces Grade 9 students to the wide variety of beverages served in the hospitality and food service industry. Students will learn to identify and categorize common non-alcoholic beverages (coffee, tea, juices, soft drinks, mocktails) and gain educational knowledge of alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, spirits, cocktails) for professional identification purposes. The lesson emphasizes proper beverage service skills, glassware selection, legal responsibilities, and the importance of responsible alcohol service practices in preparation for future careers in hospitality and culinary arts.
