Not sure what you mean by a "small drinks" refrigerator. I have an electric
cooler that is really small but only lowers the temp of the food or drink a
little bit. If you want a cool drink, you'll get one. But you won't get a
cold one unless perhaps it is the middle of winter. Because the cooling is
based on the temperature around it.

I have a little fridge and freezer that is designed like a big fridge but I
have determined that it does not keep food at a safe temp. So we only keep
cans of soda, bottles of water, etc. in there. And blue ice in the freezer.

I have seen fridges that are designed specifically for beverages. Whether
or not they keep a temp. that is safe for food, I do not know. What does
your fridge thermometer say?
