the Note and the related security agreement delivered to Holder, and the payment
and performance by MAXMILLIANS MIXERS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company,
of its similar  guaranty and security  agreement  issued in connection  with the

immediately  pay to Holder  the  same,  together  with all  costs and  expenses,
including  attorney's fees,  incurred by Holder and arising in any manner out of

secured by Guarantor pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement  delivered by
Guarantor,  and by a  similar  guaranty  and  security  agreement  delivered  by
Maxmillians Mixers LLC and the security agreement of Borrower, all of even date.

1.    Payment and Performance. Guarantor does hereby fully guarantee  to  Holder
         that Borrower and/or Maxmillians Mixers LLC shall make due and punctual
         payment of their respective Obligations, when due and payable, together
         with  all  other  sums  and  charges  which  may at any time be due and
         payable under the Note or respective  Guaranty  Documents,  and any and
         all  indebtedness,  advances,  debts,  obligations,  and liabilities of
         Borrower or Drinks America, Inc.,  heretofore,  now, or hereafter made,
         incurred, or created and resulting from the provisions therein, whether
         voluntary or involuntary and however  arising,  absolute or contingent,
         liquidated or unliquidated,  determined or undetermined, whether or not
         such  indebtedness  is from time to time  reduced or  extinguished  and
         thereafter  increased  or  incurred or whether  Borrower  may be liable
         individually or jointly with others.

         If  Borrower or  Maxmillians  Mixers LLC shall at any time fail to make
         any such  payments,  then without  requiring any notice from Holder and
         without requiring Holder to take any action against Borrower  therefor,
         Guarantor shall make such payment or payments to Holder,  this Guaranty
         being a guaranty  of  payment,  and not of  collection,  and  Guarantor
         shall, at Guarantor's sole cost and expense,  promptly,  diligently and
         continuously perform all such obligations, covenants and conditions.

2.    Indemnification. Guarantor shall, without requiring any notice from Holder
         and without  requiring Holder to take any proceedings  against Borrower
         or Drinks  America,  Inc, at Guarantor's  sole cost and expense for all
         direct and indirect  costs,  fully  indemnify,  save and hold  harmless
         Holder  from all cost and damage  which  Holder may suffer by reason of
         any failure by Borrower or  Maxmillians  Mixers LLC to fully  reimburse
         and repay to Holder  any and all costs and  expenses  which  Holder may
         incur  arising from any such  failure of payment,  and from any and all
         loss, liability,  expense, including legal fees and cost of litigation,
         and damage,  suffered or incurred by Holder in enforcing  and procuring
         the performance of this Guaranty and the Obligations guaranteed hereby.

3.    Interest. All amounts due hereunder from  Guarantor to Holder  shall  bear
         interest  from the date such amount first becomes due until paid at the
         at the lower of (a) the highest rate allowed by applicable  law, or (b)
         one and one-half (1.5%) percent per month.

4.    No Impairment  of Guaranty.  Holder, without  notice to or the  consent of
         Guarantor, at any time and from time to time, may:

         a.  agree to any  amendment or modification of the Note, including  any
             change in the amount of the Note or any terms  thereof, or the time
             or manner of payment;

         b.  delay or fail to exercise  any rights of Holder  hereunder or under
             the Note or the Security Instruments";

         c.  surrender  to any other  guarantor,  or deal  with  or  modify  the
             form of, any  provision of  the  Security  Instruments,  or  at any
             time   hold   property  from   any  other   party  to   secure  the
             performance of any obligation  guaranteed under this Guaranty; and

5.    Waiver of Proceedings.  Guarantor  hereby  waives all  legal  requirements
         that Holder  institute any actions or  proceedings  at law or in equity
         against  Borrower  or  Maxmillians  Mixers LLC and any other party with
         respect  to any  security  held  by  Holder  pursuant  to the  Security
         Agreement  generally,  as a condition  precedent  to bringing an action
         against Guarantor upon this Guaranty, and Guarantor waives any right to
         compel Holder to resort first to any security which Holder may hold for
         performance of any of the Obligations  guaranteed  under this Guaranty.
         All rights and remedies  afforded to Holder by reason of this  Guaranty
         are  separate  and  cumulative  rights and  remedies,  and none of such
         rights or remedies, whether exercised by Holder or not, shall be deemed
         to be in exclusion of any of the other rights or remedies  available to
         Holder. Guarantor hereby waives all suretyship defenses and does hereby
         acknowledge  that  Guarantor  is not acting as an  accommodation  party
         under this Guaranty.

6.    Release of  Guarantor.  Until  all of  the  Obligations  guaranteed  under
         this Guaranty are performed,  and until all of the terms, covenants and
         conditions of this Guaranty are fully performed, Guarantor shall not be
         released by any act or thing which  might,  but for this  provision  of
         this Guaranty,  be deemed a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor
         or surety.

7.    Waiver of  Notice.  Guarantor  hereby waives  notice of acceptance hereof,
         notices of default and all other notices now or hereafter  provided for
         by law,  including any right to notice or hearing,  and  authorizes the
         attorney  of holder to issue a writ for a  prejudgment  remedy  without
         court order or prior hearing.

8.    No  Subrogation.  If  Guarantor  shall make any  payments or  perform  any
         acts under this Guaranty,  Guarantor shall not thereby be subrogated to
         any rights or remedies of Holder against  Borrower or drinks  Americas,
         Inc.,  or thereby  acquire any  interest  in Holder's  rights and liens
         under the Note, or any guaranty or security  agreement relating thereto
         unless and until all principal indebtedness, interest and other sums to
         be paid to Holder pursuant to such instruments have been fully paid.

9.    Set-off.  Guarantor  hereby  gives Holder a  lien and right of  setoff for
         all of Guarantor's liabilities hereunder upon and against all deposits,
         credits and property of Guarantor and any other collateral of Guarantor
         now or hereafter in the  possession  or control of Holder or in transit
         to it. Holder may at any time apply the same,  or any part thereof,  to
         any  liability  of  Guarantor  even  though  unmatured,  in  the  event
         Guarantor is in default  hereunder or of any of the other  Obligations,
         or at any time  Holder,  acting in a  commercially  reasonable  manner,
         determines  that such  action  is  necessary  to  preserve  its  rights
         hereunder  with respect to such  deposits,  credits,  property or other
         collateral.

10.   Unconditional  Guarantee.  All of the obligations  of Guarantor  hereunder
         are  unconditional  and irrevocable and cannot be changed or terminated
         orally.  Guarantor agrees that Guarantor's  obligations hereunder shall
         not be impaired,  modified or released in any manner  whatsoever by any
         impairment,  modification  or release of the  liability  of Borrower or
         Maxmillians  Mixers LLC or either of such parties' estate in bankruptcy
         or  reorganization,  or by any stay or  other  legal  impediment  in or
         arising from any bankruptcy or  reorganization  proceeding of Borrower,
         resulting from the operations of any present or future provision of the
         Bankruptcy  Code of 1978 as amended,  or other similar State or Federal
         statute, or from the decision of any court.

11.   Representations and Warranties of Guarantor.  Guarantor  hereby represents
         and warrants that, as of the date hereof:

         a.   That  Guarantor is desirous that Holder make the loan to Borrower,
              will benefit  directly from such loan and is willing to enter into
              this Guaranty in order to enhance the  qualifications  of Borrower
              for  the  loan  and  as  an  inducement  to  and  to  fulfill  the
              requirements of Holder for making the loan.

         b.   That there has been no material adverse change in the financial or
              other  condition of Guarantor since the date of the Note, and that
              there  is  presently   outstanding  no  litigation  or  contingent
              liabilities  which could  adversely  affect the financial or other
              condition  of  Guarantor,  and that no  bankruptcy  or  insolvency
              proceedings  of  any  kind  have  been  filed,  threatened  or are
              outstanding  by or  against  Guarantor,  and  Guarantor  is not in
              default  with  regard to  payment  and  performance  of all loans,
              contracts  and  other   agreements   and   obligations   affecting
              Guarantor.

         c.   Guarantor agrees that it will maintain Guarantor and its financial
              affairs in such a manner so that it is able to make truthfully the
              representations  herein  contained at all times during the term of
              this Guaranty.

12.   Notices. Any  notice or demand to  any  party hereto shall be delivered by
         personal   service,   registered  or  certified   mail   return-receipt
         requested, or by national overnight delivery carrier, addressed to each
         party at the  addresses  set forth  above or such other  address as any
         party may hereafter  designate in writing in the manner provided herein
         and such  service  shall be deemed  complete  on  receipt or refusal to
         accept.

13.   Binding Effect.  The  provisions of this  Guaranty shall be  construed  in
         accordance with the laws of the State of Connecticut and shall bind and
         inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs,  successors
         and assigns.

14.   Invalidity. If any  provision of this Guaranty  shall be declared  invalid
         or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction,  such invalidity
         or  unenforceability  shall have no effect upon the  enforceability and
         validity of the remaining  provisions  and  conditions of this Guaranty
         and such invalid  provision shall be replaced by a legally  permissible
         provision  which comes  nearest to the intended  purpose of the invalid
         provision.

15.   Amendment. No change or modification of this Guaranty  shall be  effective
         unless such change or  modification is in writing and signed by both of
         the parties hereto.

executed and delivered as of the 8th day of April, 2003.
