Instead, beverages are customized through elaborate descriptive sequences.

Common modifiers include:

– Milk source (dairy, oat, almond, soy, etc.)

The resulting drink names can exceed the length of most technical commands.

– Lifestyle alignment
– Dietary philosophy
– Social awareness
– Personal brand consistency
