I can't speak for weasels in general, but my female Frieda likes to drink from _whatever_ I have in a cup. I'm partial to acidic drinks myself, but her favorites combine acid and sugar: apple juice and any of the new combinations which include citrus. She tried grapefruit juice and didn't like it very much, and she has tried to drink beer on the very rare occasions I have some, but she doesn't like it. However, even if I get a re-fill of something she doesn't like, she stick her nose in again. For her, at least, it seems to be more a matter of sticking her face in the cup, rather than _drinking_ what's in the cup. BTW, she LOVES apple juice, which came in handy when she got sick once and didn't want to drink. I flavored some water with a bit of juice, and was able to get her re-hydrated without having to resort to sub-q fluids.
