If you like milk there’s no such thing as a replacement. Only milk tastes like milk. The other things that have milk in the name taste like whatever they’re made from (not milk).
That being said, pretty much any liquid should work, though the bubbles may not last. Also for something like mercury you may need an air compressor and a much more durable “straw”.
People downvoting you must not have drank good quality dairy milk in a long time. Non-dairy milks can taste good as their own thing, but none of them would ever be confused with a dairy milk in a blind test
I was allergic to cow milk products as a kid and usually had goat milk products, and even that tastes nothing like cow milk. I couldn’t imagine anything made of a plant being any kind of replacement for cow milk when a different pasture raised ruminant’s milk isn’t close enough
I hate coconut too but after going vegan and trying all kinds of plant-based milks, I actually have half almond + half coconut plant-based milk a shot and it was to die for.
Coconut is still pretty gross but in some recipes (think casseroles) coconut cream comes out pretty close to “real.”
I’d think mercury would be too dense to form bubbles. Though it does have a very high surface tension, so perhaps I’m wrong. I actually have quite a lot of mercury, but trying to blow air through it as a test doesn’t exactly sound appealing.

Coconut cream + coconut water is a super close match
As someone who loves milk and hates coconut, that seems impossible. You do you, but I’ll stick with the real stuff.

I love coconut so we may have different taste, but I think oat milk is the best plant based milk.
As someone who hates milk and loves coconut, I agree that they don’t taste similar.
