I just found that there are some drinks in english which also verbs. They are water, juice, shake, cream and milk. Just add "to" and then we have verbs now.
To water
To juice
To shake
To cream
To milk
I don't know whether it's useful information or not

It means 'to squeeze the juice out of something'. It's quite a recent usage, I believe. One juices oranges and lemons, for example, and there is also a machine called a 'juicer' which crushes fruit and vegetables and spins the juice out of them.

Actually there are very many nouns which can become verbs and quite a few verbs which can become nouns in English. 'Shake' is an example of a verb which has been repurposed as a noun the others were nouns before they were used as verbs.
