Without having looked at the link, I had a few ideas for 
different languages:

C: Straight vodka. It's a concrete base for many things. Does the 
job.


Fortran: Gin. Not as popular as it used to be. Many have moved to 
vodka.


C++: Earthquake or Concrete Mixer, I can't decide. Earthquake 
because it's an immensely powerful mix but also unsatisfying and 
will royally fuck you up. Concrete mixer because of the jarring 
clash between templates and normal code.


Python: Mojito. Little bit exotic, but very popular. Easy to do 
badly, but still ok even when you do.


Ruby: Pina Colada. Fruity. A good blend of flavours with a 
unified feel.


PHP: A badly made bloody mary. A complete mess.


JavaScript: Sambucca. Ok in small quantities, but for gods sake 
don't use it as base for anything.


Java: Light beer. You have to drink a lot to get anywhere, 
unsatisfying and falling out of fashion somewhat, but still 
hugely widespread.


D: A well stocked, well organised drinks cabinet, with a variety 
of automated mixing machines. Very few glasses, some of the 
bottles are actually almost empty (or off) and you can't find any 
tools. Has been known to rearrange critical sections of itself 
overnight. Lacks customers.


asm: chemistry set. You can definitely make cocktails with it, 
you just have to put in the work and concentrate :)
