It's not recommended to have gathering/social get together with the current situation especially when the other person has been in contact with so many people.
The average incubation period is 14-21 days with a median of 14 days, but there is documented evidence of asymptomatic carriers which could be more than that.
It's not about the beverages you consume and their temperature as much as contact with the people, their environment.
Their is new evidence emerging that even contact might not be required to spread the covid infection but is still debatable.
Next Steps
Avoid going to social get together or meet.
