ну водка, конечно!
Actually black tea in Russian is really just чай, because they never drink it white (they think we're very odd for adding milk!)
And чай conversely doesn't have to mean tea, it can mean any hot drink - having at least once been handed a very strong sweet cup of coffee and thinking "this tea tastes really weird..."

I suppose that would be under 'green tea' as it's without milk. Meaning you think of the guy as a good friend. Hope that's not your husband that you had in mind!
