A number of works of fiction have incorporated into their world the existence of beverages, which may create a sense of the world in which the story takes place, and in some cases may serve to advance the plot of the story. The product may serve as a stand in for brand names, and in that capacity may be a vessel for mockery of the marketing culture associated with brand name products (e.g., Duff Beer from The Simpsons; Buzz Beer from The Drew Carey Show). In science fiction, beverages from alien races may enhance the sense of a futuristic society (e.g. Romulan Ale in Star Trek).

Fictional beverages that also existed[]

Some real-life beverages were created and marketed after appearing as fictional, as is the case with Duff Beer from the TV show The Simpsons. To promote The Simpsons Movie, convenience store 7-Eleven marketed a Duff-branded energy drink.

The computer game The Secret of Monkey Island parodies Coca Cola with its red-and-white trademarked Grog logo. In reality, grog was a watered-down alcoholic drink served to sailors.
