Cook is only used to talk about food, not drinks.

Cook is also a noun.

See cooker - cook2. 'make'

If you make a meal or a drink, you combine foods or drinks together to produce something different. You can make a meal without heating anything.

I made his breakfast.I 'll make you a coffee.3. 'prepare'

Prepare is used in two ways. If you prepare food, you clean or cut it so that it is ready to be used.

To prepare a meal or drink means the same as to make it (see above). This is a fairly formal use.

There are many verbs that refer to different ways of cooking things.
