Trinkfertig

Trinkfertig is a German term that translates to "ready to drink" in English. It is commonly used in the context of beverages, particularly alcoholic drinks like cocktails, and can also refer to pre-packaged meals or food items. When a beverage is described as trinkfertig, it signifies that it requires no further preparation or mixing by the consumer. It is intended to be consumed directly from its packaging.

This designation simplifies consumption, especially for consumers who may lack the time, ingredients, or expertise to prepare a beverage themselves. Examples of trinkfertig products include pre-mixed cocktails sold in bottles or cans, as well as certain types of juices or flavored waters. The term implies convenience and immediate accessibility. In the food industry, it can apply to pre-made salads, soups, or other dishes that are ready to eat after minimal, if any, heating. The core concept is the elimination of preparation steps for the end-user.
