Seeing Ronald Araujo with the South American drink known as Mate is becoming a regularity around Liverpool.
Those close to the 27-year-old say that true to his Uruguayan heritage, he takes the caffeinated beverage - made by steeping dry leaves in warm water - wherever he goes.
The sight of defender Araujo in Liverpool's starting line-up is also becoming the norm this season.
For all the focus on Liverpool's big-money signings, it is the one they got on loan that is increasingly looking like one of their most important deals.
Since arriving on a season-long loan from Barcelona, Araujo has started eight of Liverpool's 10 games under Andoni Iraola, with six of those appearances coming at right-back and four at centre-back.
Last week, he scored his first Liverpool goal with a header against LASK and there was a backheel assist for Dominik Szoboszlai against Atletico Madrid.
With Conor Bradley out since January with a knee injury and Jeremie Frimpong now sidelined until the November international break with a muscle injury, Araujo, who is taking English lessons, is seizing the chance to showcase the versatility and experience that attracted Liverpool to him.
"I came from a big side, as is Liverpool. I think people here, it's almost like they are more intense when you go down the street, when you go out to the centre of Liverpool, or when you go out to eat something. But that's lovely. You see how they experience football themselves," Araujo said on Monday.
"I am really happy here. My family is very happy and that's also very important. I'm just really hungry to go on this season and give the best I can of myself and continue to learn and grow as a player. I'm having that game time and that's what I want and then we'll see what happens and what I want for the future."
At Barcelona last season, Araujo was granted a leave of absence to prioritise his mental health and the move to England in the summer felt like one that suited all parties - even if he was initially seen as a stopgap solution for Liverpool
Araujo, who has 29 caps for Uruguay, took a wage cut and Liverpool have an option to buy him in the summer for £47m.
It is a hefty sum and remains an unlikely outcome, but the understanding for now is that Araujo is just happy to show his qualities to everyone once again.
"It's very early to talk about these things," he said, when asked about his future.
"I'm just trying to enjoy every day and continue to develop and to play and to give what's required of me to have that confidence. I'm really happy to be here but it's a bit early to be talking about those things."
With Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez's contracts expiring this summer, Liverpool sporting director Julian Ward will have some important decisions to make.
When everyone is fit, Liverpool are well-stocked in the centre-back department and the way Jeremy Jacquet, 21, has settled in since moving from Rennes in the summer is proof that if you are good enough, you are old enough.
Alongside Van Dijk, 35, Gomez, 29, and Jacquet, 19-year-old Giovanni Leoni will offer another option once fit. Leoni is hoping to return next month from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury he sustained on his debut in September 2025.
Liverpool also have an option to buy back Jarell Quansah from Bayer Leverkusen this summer so are not short of options.
The likes of 18-year-old Ifeanyi Ndukwe, currently on loan at Levante in La Liga, and Mor Talla Ndiaye, 18, are names for the future too.
Liverpool did not initially plan to bring in Araujo this summer, but given their injury crisis were forced to act and his abilities have largely benefited Iraola this season.
"Ronald [Araujo] was one of those situations that before the market was not there and the situation appeared," said Iraola.
"Then we talked to the player - the first conversation I had with him was quite encouraging. You see a hungry and experienced player who has played in a top club and is willing to show the level."
"I told him that sometimes we will need you playing as a right-back and he was ready for everything to help the team - the more he plays, the more he speaks the language and the more he learns from his team-mates, the more we will benefit from his experience. Everything has been quite positive with him."
For Araujo, the focus is clear.
"Coming to a club like Liverpool is not easy. There are demands and responsibilities. I'd already experienced that in Barcelona and ultimately that's a huge club where there are huge demands where every game you need to give your very best. You play well in one game, but you have to come back and do that again," he said.
Do that, and both Iraola and Ward may be left with a decision to make.
