EXHIBIT 10.22

                               UNLIMITED GUARANTY

         In consideration of financial accommodations given or to be given or
continued to DRINKS AMERICAS INC., hereinafter called "Borrower," by BANK LEUMI
USA hereinafter called "Bank," and the benefits to be obtained therefrom by the
undersigned, the undersigned irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee to the
Bank, payment when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, of any and all
liabilities of the Borrower to the Bank, in the aggregate at any one time
outstanding plus all interest thereon and all attorneys' fees, costs and
expenses of collection incurred by the Bank in enforcing any of such
liabilities. This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

         The term "liabilities of the Borrower" shall include all liabilities,
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, joint, several or independent,
secured or unsecured, liquidated or unliquidated, contractual or tortious of the
Borrower now or hereafter existing, due or to become due to, or held or to be
held by, the Bank for its own account or as agent for another or others, whether
created directly or acquired by assignment or otherwise.

         The undersigned waive notice of acceptance of this guaranty and notice
of any liability to which it may apply, and waive presentment, demand of
payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment of any such liabilities, suit
or taking other action by the Bank against, and any other notice to, any party
liable thereon (including the undersigned).

         The Bank may at any time and from time to time (whether or not after
revocation or termination of this guaranty) without the consent of, or notice
to, the undersigned, without incurring responsibility to the undersigned,
without impairing or releasing the obligations of the undersigned hereunder,
upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part:

(1) change the manner, place or terms of payment, and/or change or extend the
time of payment of, renew or alter, any liability of the Borrower, any security
therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof,
and the guaranty herein made shall apply to the liabilities of the Borrower as
so changed, extended, renewed or altered;

         (2) sell, exchange, release, surrender, substitute, realize upon or
otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at
any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the liabilities
hereby guaranteed or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred
directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset there
against;

         (3) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Borrower
or others (including the undersigned), or any security or otherwise act or
refrain from acting;

<PAGE>

         (4) settle or compromise any liability hereby guaranteed, any security
therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly
or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of
all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of
the Borrower to creditors of the Borrower other than the Bank and the
undersigned; and

         (5) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any
liability or liabilities of the Borrower to the Bank regardless of what
liability or liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid.

         No failure by the Bank to file, record or otherwise perfect any lien or
security interest, nor any improper filing or recording, nor any failure by the
Bank to insure or protect any security nor any other dealing (or failure to
deal) with any security by the Bank, shall impair or release the obligations of
the undersigned hereunder.

         No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of
the liabilities hereby guaranteed or of any security therefor shall affect,
impair or be a defense to this guaranty, and this guaranty is a primary
obligation of the undersigned.

         This guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to which it
applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to
have been created in reliance hereon. As to each of the undersigned, this
guaranty shall continue until written notice of revocation signed by such
undersigned, or until written notice of the death of such undersigned (which
shall be deemed a notice of revocation hereunder) shall in each case have been
actually received by the Bank, notwithstanding a revocation by, or the death of,
or complete or partial release for any cause, of any one or more of the
remainder of the undersigned, or of the Borrower or of any one liable in any
manner for the liabilities hereby guaranteed or for the liabilities (including
those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof,
and notwithstanding the dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change
in personnel, management, shareholders or members of any one or more of the
undersigned which may be corporations, partnerships or other entities. Written
notice as above provided shall be the only means of revocation or termination of
this guaranty, notwithstanding the fact that for periods of time there may be no
outstanding liabilities of the Borrower. No revocation or termination hereof
shall affect in any manner the effectiveness and applicability of this guaranty,
or any rights of the Bank or the obligations of the undersigned hereunder, with
respect to (a) liabilities of the Borrower which shall have been created,
contracted, assumed or incurred prior to receipt by the Bank of written notice
of such revocation or termination, (b) all extensions, renewals or modifications
of any of the liabilities referred to in (a) above made after receipt by the
Bank of such written notice, or (c) liabilities of the Borrower which shall have
been created, contracted, assumed or incurred after receipt by the Bank of such
written notice pursuant to any contract entered into by the Bank prior to its
receipt of such notice or which are otherwise related to or connected with
liabilities of the Borrower theretofore arising or transactions theretofore
entered into.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

         The Bank at all times and from time to time shall have the right to
require the undersigned to deliver to the Bank as security for the liabilities
of the undersigned hereunder, collateral security, original or additional,
satisfactory to the Bank.

         All property of the undersigned shall be held by the Bank subject to a
lien and as security for any and all liabilities of the undersigned. The term
"property of the undersigned" shall include all property of every description,
now or hereafter in the possession or custody of or in transit to the Bank for
any purpose, including safekeeping, collection or pledge, for account of the
undersigned, or as to which the undersigned may have any right or power. The
balance of every account of the undersigned with, and each claim of the
undersigned against, the Bank existing from time to time, shall be subject to a
lien and subject to be set off against any and all liabilities of the
undersigned and the Bank may at any time or from time to time at its option and
without notice appropriate and apply toward the payment of any of the
liabilities of the undersigned the balance of each such account of the
undersigned with, and each such claim of the undersigned against, the Bank. The
term "property of the undersigned" shall also include any and all book-entry
U.S. Treasury bills and other book-entry securities purchased on behalf of the
undersigned and maintained in an account at the Bank, which may have a related
account at a bank which is a member of the Federal Reserve System. The
undersigned authorizes the Bank to serve as its bailee and agent with respect to
the aforementioned book-entry Treasury bills and other book-entry securities and
to take such action and to execute and deliver such documents on behalf of the
undersigned as the Bank deems necessary or desirable in order to perfect the
Bank's security interest therein. The undersigned hereby gives notice to the
Bank, in-the Bank's capacity as bailee and agent, of the Bank's security
interest in the aforementioned book-entry Treasury bills and other book-entry
securities. The Bank may at any time and from time to time, without notice,
transfer into its own name or that of its nominee any of the property of the
undersigned.

         Upon the happening of any of the following events (each an "Event of
Default"): any representation or warranty of the undersigned in this guaranty or
in any other writing or statement furnished to the Bank at any time in
connection with this guaranty shall prove to be false, incorrect or misleading,
or the undersigned shall default in the performance or observance of any
agreement or covenant in this guaranty or any other agreement or instrument
entered into or made in connection with this guaranty, or the death or
insolvency of the Borrower or the undersigned, or failure of the undersigned to
deposit such collateral as may be demanded by the Bank, or failure of the
undersigned to furnish to the Bank, or cause the Borrower to furnish to the
Bank, such information respecting the condition or operations, financial or
otherwise, of the undersigned or the Borrower as the Bank may from time to time
reasonably request, or suspension of business of the Borrower or the
undersigned, or the issuance of any warrant of attachment against any of the
property of the Borrower or the undersigned, or the making by the Borrower or
the undersigned of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a trustee or
receiver being appointed for the Borrower or the undersigned or for any property
of either of them, or any proceeding being commenced by or against the Borrower
or the undersigned under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement of debt,
insolvency, readjustment of debt, moratorium, receivership, liquidation or
dissolution law or statute, then and in any such event, and at any time
thereafter, the Bank may, without notice to the Borrower or the undersigned,
make the liabilities of the Borrower to the Bank, whether or not then due,
immediately due to and payable hereunder as to the undersigned, and the Bank
shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of the undersigned hereunder.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

         Upon nonpayment when due of any of the liabilities of the Borrower or
the undersigned to the Bank, the Bank may immediately or at any time or times
thereafter without demand or notice to the Borrower or the undersigned and
without advertisement, all of which are hereby expressly waived, sell, resell,
assign and deliver all or part of said "property of the undersigned" at any
Brokers' Board or Exchange, or at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit
or for future delivery, and in connection therewith may grant options. Upon each
such sale the Bank may purchase the whole or any part of such property, free
from any right of redemption, which is hereby waived and released.

         In the case of each such sale, or of any proceedings to collect any
liabilities of the undersigned, the undersigned shall pay all costs and expenses
of every kind for collection, sale or delivery, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, and after deducting such costs and expenses from the proceeds of sale or
collection, the Bank may apply any residue to pay any liabilities of the
undersigned, who shall continue liable for any deficiency, with interest.

         Without limiting the Bank's rights under any other agreement, upon the
date notice of revocation or termination of this guaranty is received, or upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder or under any of the loan
documents evidencing or relating to the liabilities of the Borrower, any
obligations owed by the Borrower to the undersigned in connection with any
extension of credit or financial accommodation by the undersigned to or for the
account of the Borrower are hereby subordinated to the liabilities of the
Borrower, and such obligations of the Borrower to the undersigned, if the Bank
so requests, shall be collected, enforced and received by the undersigned as
trustee for the-Bank and shall be paid over to the Bank on account of the
liabilities of the Borrower without reducing or affecting in any manner the
liability of the undersigned under other provisions of this guaranty.

         The undersigned shall not exercise any right of subrogation which it
may have at any time otherwise as a result of this guaranty (whether
contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) until all
of the liabilities of the Borrower have been paid in full. If any amount is paid
to the undersigned on account of subrogation rights the undersigned may
otherwise have under this guaranty, when the liabilities of the Borrower shall
have not been paid in full, the amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of
the Bank and shall be promptly paid to the Bank to be credited and applied to
the liabilities of the Borrower.

         If claim is ever made upon the Bank for repayment, return, restoration
or other recovery of any amount or amounts received by the Bank in payment or on
account of any of the liabilities of the Borrower and the Bank repays all or
part of said amount: (a) because such payment or application of proceeds is or
may be avoided, invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside or determined to be
void or voidable as a preferential transfer, fraudulent conveyance,
impermissible setoff or a diversion of trust funds; or (b) for any other reason,

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

including (without limitation) by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of
any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over the Bank or any of its
property, or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the
Bank with any such claimant (including the Borrower), then and in such event the
undersigned agree that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or
compromise shall be binding upon the undersigned, notwithstanding any revocation
hereof or the cancellation of any note or other instrument evidencing any
liability of the Borrower, and the undersigned shall be and remain liable to the
Bank hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if
such amount had never originally been received by the Bank. The undersigned
hereby indemnify and shall reimburse and hold the Bank harmless for the amount
so repaid and for all other claims, actions, suits, proceedings, liabilities,
losses, costs and expenses of every kind (including, without limitation, the
disbursements, expenses and fees of the Bank's attorneys) that may be imposed
upon, incurred by or asserted against the Bank (i) in connection with defending
any such claim for repayment and collecting such amount from the undersigned, or
(ii) otherwise arising out of or related directly or indirectly to this guaranty
(including, without limitation, any action, suit or proceeding between the
undersigned and the Bank, whether on this guaranty or otherwise). The provisions
of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this guaranty, and any
satisfaction and discharge of the Borrower by virtue of any payment or court
order or any state or federal law.

         No delay on the part of the Bank in exercising any of its options,
powers or rights, or partial or single exercise thereof, shall constitute a
waiver thereof. No waiver of any of its rights hereunder, and no modifications
or amendment of this guaranty, shall be deemed to be made by the Bank unless the
same shall be in writing, duly signed on behalf of the Bank, and each such
waiver, if any, shall apply only with respect to the specific instance involved,
and shall in no way impair the rights of the Bank or the obligations of the
undersigned to the Bank in any other respect at any other time.

         The term "Bank" as used throughout this instrument shall be deemed to
include BANK LEUMI USA, and all its agencies, branches and departments wherever
located.

         Whenever in this instrument the words "attorneys' fees" are used, such
fees shall be computed as follows: 15% of the principal, interest and all other
sums due and owing to the Bank, or the reasonable value of the services of the
attorneys, whichever is greater. The term "Borrower" as used throughout this
instrument shall be deemed to include any (a) successor partnership or
partnerships if the Borrower is a partnership, and (b) corporation or
corporations which succeed to all or substantially all of the assets or business
of the Borrower by merger, consolidation or sale of assets if the Borrower is a
corporation.

         This guaranty and the rights and obligations of the Bank and of the
undersigned hereunder shall be governed and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York; and this guaranty is binding upon the
undersigned, his, their or its heirs, executors, administrators, successors, or
assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Bank, its successors or assigns.
The undersigned hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any New York
State or Federal Court located in New York City over any action or proceeding
arising out of any dispute between the undersigned and the Bank, and the

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

undersigned further irrevocably consents to the service of any process in any
such action or proceeding by the mailing of a copy of such process to the
undersigned at the address set forth below. In the event of litigation between
the Bank and the undersigned over any matter connected with this guaranty,
resulting from transactions hereunder or relating to documentation or matters
connected with the liabilities of the Borrower, the right to a trial by jury is
hereby waived by the Bank and the undersigned. The undersigned also waives the
right to interpose any defense, including but not limited to, those defenses
based upon fraud or any statute of limitations or any claim of laches and any
setoff or claim, deduction or counterclaim of any nature or description in any
action or proceeding instituted by the Bank with respect to this guaranty or any
matter arising herefrom or relating hereto. To the extent that the undersigned
has or may hereafter acquire any immunity from the jurisdiction of any court or
from any legal process (whether from service or notice, attachment prior to
judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise), with respect
to the undersigned or the property of the undersigned, such immunity is hereby
irrevocably waived by the undersigned.

         The undersigned, if more than one, shall be jointly and severally
liable hereunder, and the term "undersigned" wherever used herein shall mean the
undersigned or any one or more of them. Any one signing this guaranty shall be
bound hereby, whether or not any one else signs this guaranty at any time.

                                    RECITALS

        WHEREAS, Maxmillian Partners LLC (the "Borrower"), a Delaware limited
 liability company, operating pursuant to a certain Amended and Restated Limited
 Liability Company Agreement, dated as of September 24, 2002 (the "Operating
 Agreement"); and

        WHEREAS, Borrower requires short-term working capital in connection with
 current operations, and Nexcomm International Beverage, LLC, a current unit
 holder of the Company ("Holder") has agreed to lend to Borrower $200,000, upon
 the terms stated herein, including without limitation Holders' right, but not
 the obligation, prior to repayment, to convert all, or such part as Holder
 shall elect, of the principal amount due hereunder, together with the interest
 then accrued thereon, into additional units of the Company issued in connection
 with any subsequent capital financing of the Company (a "Financing"), or such
 other equity securities, as shall be sold by Borrower in connection with the
 completion of the Financing, if any, upon the same terms as are offered to
 investors generally. Holder shall be issued warrants for units in the Borrower
 ("Principal Warrants"), together with certain contingent warrants to be issued
 in the event of a default hereunder ("Default Warrants", and together with the
 Financing Warrants, referred to herein and therein as the "Warrants"), all in
 accordance with the terms of the Convertible Note Warrant Agreement ("Warrant
 Agreement"), of even date herein
<PAGE>

         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, MAXMILLIAN PARTNERS LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, having a principal place of business at 372 Danbury Road,

INTERNATIONAL BEVERAGE, LLC, (the "Holder") at the offices of the Holder located
in Southport, Connecticut, or at such other place as Holder shall designate, the

of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed, at the rate of eight
(8%) percent (Interest"), from the date of this Secured Convertible Note and
Agreement (the "Note"),until the Expiration Date. In no event shall the Interest
hereunder exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Any payment in
excess of the maximum rate shall be deemed a prepayment of principal. Each
payment shall be applied first to the payment of Interest and then to the
payment of principal. In addition to the other remedies available to Holder
herein, and the Default Adjustment set forth in the Warrant Agreement issued by
Borrower to Holder in connection herewith, in the event of default, the Interest
applicable to this Note shall be 3% above that rate herein, before as well as
after judgment, order or other determination. The principal amount of this Note
shall be advanced upon the request of the Borrower, and at the sole discretion
of the Holder in accordance with the conditions herein. The proceeds of this
Note shall be used for normal short-term working capital needs of the Borrower.

                                   ARTICLE ONE
                                   PREPAYMENT

        This Note shall not without the prior written consent of the Holder, be
 subject to prepayment in whole or in part by Borrower, at any time prior to the
 earlier of (i) the date on which the Holder waives, releases or terminates its
 option to convert this Note into the equity securities of the Company as set
 forth hereinbelow, and (ii) the Expiration Date, it being the intention of the
 parties that this Note shall either be (A) paid in full with Interest thereon
 at the Expiration Date, or (B) subject to Holder's prior demand on account of
 default, converted to units of the Company upon the date of the closing of any
 Financing, , upon the terms more fully set forth in ARTICLE TWO below
 ("Conversion Units").

                                   ARTICLE TWO
                                CONVERSION RIGHTS

        2.1 Conversion. At any time prior to the Expiration Date, in the event
 Borrower shall propose to complete a Financing, Holder shall have the right,
 exercisable upon written notice to Borrower, to convert in whole or in part,
 any outstanding principal amount hereunder together with any and all unpaid
 Interest accrued thereon (the "Obligation") into the Units offered by Borrower
 in such Financing, upon such terms as are offered to the investors in the
 Financing generally.
<PAGE>

        2.2 Conversion Mechanics. In the event Borrower shall intend to complete
a Financing prior to the Expiration Date, and shall prepare any term sheet for
such purpose at any time prior to the Expiration Date, Borrower shall provide
Holder with written notice of the terms and other particulars pertaining to such
Financing, whereupon at any time on or prior to the closing date of such
Financing (after all applicable extensions provided in the Term Sheet), Holder
shall have the right, exercisable within by Borrower upon notice to Borrower at
any time prior to repayment of this Note and the date of closing of such
Financing, to convert, in whole or in part, the amount then representing the
Obligation, into such equity securities as are sold or issued by Borrower in
connection with the Financing, and otherwise upon the terms made part of the
offering thereof.

                                  ARTICLE THREE
                           EVENTS OF DEFAULT/SECURITY

        3.1 Default. In the event Borrower shall: (a) fail to pay any amount of
 the principal or accrued Interest hereupon as same shall become due and
 payable; (b) breach any of the material covenants or any representation or
 warranty of Borrower as set forth herein or in the Warrant Agreement issued in
 connection herewith; or (c) any default by Maxmillians Mixers LLC or Drinks
 Americas, Inc. (the "Guarantors") pursuant to the terms of the Guaranties or
 the Security Agreements delivered by them as security for the Obligations
 hereunder, then at the option of the Holder hereof, and in addition to all
 other remedies at law or in equity, including without limitation, Holder's
 right to exercise its security interest in accordance with the provisions of
 the Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Connecticut, all
 amounts of principal and interest then accrued hereon, shall be immediately due
 and payable, provided Holder shall deliver written notice of such default at
 the offices of Borrower, and provide Borrower an opportunity to cure such
 default, which in the event of any default in payment shall endure for a period
 of ten (10 ) days following the receipt by Borrower of said notice. Borrower
 shall pay all collection and legal expenses incurred by the Holder, including,
 without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in the collection
 hereof or in the enforcement or protection of Holder's interests herein.

        3.2 Offsets. Any deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due
 from Holder to Borrower, and any securities or other property of Borrower at
 any time in the possession of Holder, may at all times be held and treated as
 collateral for the payment of this Note and any and all other liabilities
 (direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, sole, joint, or several, secured
 or unsecured, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising) of
 Borrower to Holder. Regardless of the adequacy of collateral, Holder may apply
 or set off such deposits or other sums against such liabilities at any time.
<PAGE>

         3.3 Security Interest. In order to secure the payment of the
Obligation, Borrower grants Holder a continuing security interest in all assets
of the Borrower, including, without limitation, all personal property, accounts,
deposit accounts, chattel paper, money, documents, licenses, leases, goods,
contract rights, equipment, machinery, fixtures, general intangibles,
instruments, inventory, work-in-process, trade names and all such other personal
property, if any, specifically listed on the UCC-1 Financing Statements
delivered and filed by the Borrower in connection with the security interests
granted herein, whether now owed or hereafter acquired, and any and all
increases, substitutions, replacements, accessions and additions thereto, and
any and all replacements and all cash and non-cash proceeds and products thereof
(including proceeds of insurance policies payable by reason of loss or damage to
any of the foregoing) (the "Collateral"), all in accordance with the terms
herein and the terms of a Security Agreement delivered by Borrower this date.
Borrower authorizes Holder to file financing statements or any other similar
