A well drink is defined as:

A well drink is defined as:

• A. A drink where neither the brand of the liquor or brand of the mix is mentioned
• B. A top-shelf cocktail
• C. A premium brand mixed drink
• D. A cocktail served with a lime wheel

Answer: (A)

A well drink means using the house, unbranded liquor and the standard mixer unless a brand is specified. The key idea is that no brand is named for either the liquor or the mixer, which is exactly what option describes. This contrasts with top-shelf or premium drinks, which specify higher-end brands, and with garnishes, which aren’t about brand at all. So a well drink like a gin and tonic would use the bar’s standard gin and tonic without naming a brand.
