Pretty good, but I think it may have been better if you had added another clue which narrowed it down to one possible answer.
very dry, very, VERY, dry. Not much of a teaser.
Boring. Somewhat difficult, but boring....
Nice teaser Jake! I liked it.
I think you should of added the word ORANGE to the answer it is color and Beverage
nope.. Orange is a fruit ... orange JUICE is a beverage.
Then again, I got confused at rose (isn't that a flower?) but then I realised it was supposed to be rosé.
It might have been more interesting if a certain number of answers were asked for, so that we know when to give up listing them ^_^

Okay, ORANGE could be considered a drink because there is orange soda.
However, aren't most of these colors named after the drinks?
So, it really is a pointless teaser.

Wine?
Wine?
go to a paint store these days, and you'll see colors named after anything...I'm sure every type of wine, including wine, has a color.
I'm sure you can find a paint called Root Beer, or cola.

nice job!!!

What about Lemonade? It's right here in my box of Crayola 96!
Is chocolate really a beverage?
TOASTER
TOASTER!!!!
TOASTER! ! ! !
"Is chocolate really a beverage?"
Don't quote me on this.....
Hundreds of years ago, way before chocolate bars where created, the substance of chocolate was in liquid form, and drank by the wealthy. I'm guessing it would have tasted like melting a Hershey's and drinking it Doesn't seem very appealing.

Well, I thought it was a good one, keep them coming, but with a little more hint please? Wonderful!
what about pink lemonade? my little sister has a crayon that says that...and wine and chartreuse are drinks? please let me know where you have seen these drinks at...
i meant to say is wine a color, and is chartreuse a drink?
Paul, have you ever heard of hot chocolate?
Very nice teaser, I liked it.
Very nice teaser, I liked it.
Went straight to the answer....never would have gotten it....wine is a color?
what about orange...as in juice
ya thats what i think! orange is both a juice and a soda and a color! who corrected this?!
a bit too difficult,you should have given a another clue.
and is wine a colour?????????????????
and is wine a colour?????????????????
Yes, wine is a color. I thought this one was good - a little challenging, but that's good, too.
I didn't know rose was a drink, but besides that, great job.
not a good teaser.
I agree
I never knew there was a color wine
too vague. Maybe a fun way to clarify it would be to say that the color gets its name from the beverage? Certainly, that eliminates orange (orange the color is based on orange the fruit) With that, I think you have an accurate list. Certainly Champagne, Burgundy, etc are named after something else (regions of France) but the colors come from the beverages themselves.
one protest: is cream a beverage? don't think i'd imbibe straight cream, but to each his own, i guess.

that being said, you'd have to drop chocolate, since it's not definitively a beverage. If you take chocolate, you have to take orange, grape, etc... Also, I'd drop Rose, especially since Rose the beverage gets its name because of its color, and not the other way around. This is of course based on my suggestion for clarifying the rules, but I feel there need to be more guidelines or else this is just open to conjecture...
I feel like most of the answers are not colors, and also most of the answers aren't beverages. Or at least, no some that I've heard.
quite good, but as everyone else has stated it could be clearer. Keep trying. thank you.
You all realize this is the owner of Braingle, rite? lol
it wuz hrd becuz i didnt really look deeper and realize how many colors n drinks tht r the same. it was alrite and i agree u shouldve added ORANGE JUICE as one of them.... so ok....
I didn't really understand what the teaser was, but it did make me have to really think. That's one of the objects of Braingle. Thanks for posting.
white wine?
champage and wine? ok...
hahaha i didnt want to bother...no offence to u i mean that i rlly suck at these and that i just knew i qwoodnt get nythin so yeah goodjob dude..{or dudette{ but i call every1 dudes
What about merlot? Cognac? Cafe au lait? (not the same as coffee) All commonly used as colors. Not much of a teaser when the answer is a random sample of what came to the author's mind.
Rose and rosé are different words. Rose is not a drink and rosé is not a colour.
Have to agree with the previous poster about cream; liquid it may be, but it's not a drink. Chocolate is a common enough abbreviation for hot chocolate, and to the person asking about chartreuse (and anyone else wondering), it's a liqueur made from apples.
