How to approach it
Treat the task as a tour of the world's drinks cabinets instead of a search for one clever word. Begin with the liquids any kitchen keeps and any bar pours, then widen by geography, noting the strong spirits that communities make from their own harvest and drink while still young and unaged. Move next to the commercial shelf, where soft drinks and ready-mixed long drinks turn up in see-through editions, and finish with the odd official or clinical liquids that people genuinely consume. Jot every candidate as a precise product name, because a broad family label reads as vague, and check the liquid in the glass rather than the bottle or the label, since packaging colour tells you nothing.
Get a hint
Sweep the drinks aisle and the bar shelf in your mind: what pours perfectly see-through, from the tap at dinner to the small glass offered after a meal.
A little more
Many entries come from places that distil a local harvest and drink it fresh, before barrels or time can darken it; think of fruit, grain and whatever the local ground yields.
One step further
Long mixed drinks that stay transparent, sugar-free editions of fizzy brands, and the clinical or recovery liquids people really swallow are where the rarer, better-paid names hide.

Why these answers count
Scoring tracks obscurity closely, because the reveal is a rarity ladder: the further a name sits from the first thing a player types, the more it pays. The single hundred-point entry, Brennivín (100), is an Icelandic caraway distillate that almost nobody outside its home country would offer. The eighty-five band is a census of regional firewaters and transparent serves — Akpeteshie (85) from Ghana, Clairin (85) from Haiti, Café blanc (85) from Lebanon, Birch water (85), Mastiha (85), Pisco (85) — rare enough to surprise, common enough to be guessed. The sixty-point tier collects the obvious: Ouzo (60), Sambuca (60), Vodka soda (60), Crystal Pepsi (60), Coca-Cola Clear (60), names most players reach for at once and which the table credits but pays little. Since a broad family with hundreds of members divides the pot thin, a precise local product or a narrow clear edition of a familiar brand usually outscores the household staple.
