Kids Encyclopedia Facts

This is a list of state beverages as designated by the various states of the United States. The first known usage of declaring a specific beverage a "state beverage" within the US began in 1965 with Ohio designating tomato juice as its official beverage. The most popular choice for state beverage designation is milk (or a flavored milk, in the case of Rhode Island). In total, 20 out of the 33 (not including Rhode Island) entities with official beverages (32 states and the District of Columbia) have selected milk.
