TL;DR
Most all-inclusive hotels in Belek stock standard imported spirits: Ballantine's, Chivas, Jameson, Captain Morgan, and Baileys. Cocktails tend to be overly sweet, so ordering whisky and mixer separately is recommended.
Besides whisky and beer, some bars offer Martini-style vermouth in white, red, and dry versions. A recommended serve is vermouth with tonic; reports also say cocktails are usually made better in the lobby bar than at the beach bars, where quality tends to be weaker.
Among other alcohol options, gin and tonic is reported to be available; one tip is to order a double gin with Sprite instead of tonic.
The selection is roughly the same across hotels in the area. Spotted imports include Prosecco, Red Label and Jameson whisky, Captain Morgan rum, plus beer and cocktails. Spirits are available but the range is limited.
Hotel cocktails are often disappointing and overly sweet. The best approach for a whisky and Coke is to ask for Ballantine's separately and cola separately — the result is much better than ordering a pre-mixed drink.
The whisky and liqueurs served at hotels are genuine products — Chivas, Ballantine's, and Baileys have been confirmed as authentic, not counterfeit.
