my number one choice for writing is Monster energy. Original green, thank you very much. There's a generic energy drink that I don't mind at all.
Most usually though, its coffee. MIlk is a luxury if I have it. Normal would be just sugar though. Real creamer is me spoiling myself.
I get my best results with the above.
I've found that if I have a drink for writing, my MC gets testy and might threaten people. I start to think violence might be called for here. I've learned not to do that. If sober I decide its time for violence in the writing, then a drink or two gets the juices for that flowing.
I will drink hot tea but just for something different and for taste, coffee and energy drinks seem to have an actual effect.

the surgeon general has determined that getting between me and my morning monster/coffee can be hazardous to your health.

any soft drink with caffeine can be substituted for coffee. if caffeine is bad for you, then my kidneys must look like raisins, lol.

Пусть прозвучит напыщенно и пафосно, но когда я пишу, я ничего не пью. Просто - сижу и пишу... Зато когда заканчиваю - кипячёную тёплую воду. Всем - успехов.

My own tears. Wouldn't want them to get on my keyboard

But honestly just plain water. Anything hot or cold I'd have to deal with entropy ruining it

Coffee or water usually. Sometimes juice.
Whole milk. I add a little bit of brown sugar for sweetness.
According to dad, that was what his mom would call "coffee"... Sometimes she would actually let a few drops of coffee fall in the milk too...

Gin is a magic potion that turns thoughts into words. Or into a mess to clean up if you drink too much of it.

Diet Coke. I need the caffeine, but I don't want my feet falling off.
