Dairy-Based and Fermented Milk Beverages

Beverages built on milk, whether fresh or fermented. Belongs here: Ayran, Chaas, Kefir, Kumis, Lassi, Milkshake. Does not belong here: a spirit-based drink that happens to include dairy, such as Eggnog, grouped under cocktails and mixed drinks because the spirit is its defining feature there.
