Spirit

Spirits were an alcohol produced through distillation, and were usually quite potent. (PROSE: Blood Harvest) They could be produced using methods involving a still or through brewing in even the simplest of containers, such as a bathtub, which the Seventh Doctor did with whiskey when he was in Chicago in 1929, while he did so in the TARDIS, and could have used more traditional methods he claimed it preserved the period "flavour". (PROSE: Blood Harvest)

Spirits were consumed on their own, with a simple mixer (such as soda water, or tonic water) or were consumed as part of a cocktail.
