When we can use 何か with 欲しいです. Hello :)

I am just wondering when we can use 何か with 欲しいです.

1. 飲み物は何か欲しいですか。

2. 飲み物は何が欲しいですか。

I am sure that 2 is correct but how about 1? Can we use in that way? If not what are the other possibilities? :)

Hi! Yes, you can say “飲み物は何か欲しいですか?”as well. But phrase 1 and 2 are used in different situation. Phrase 1 means “Would you like something to drink?” And 2 “what would you like to drink?”. If you have already made up you your mind “I’m going to serve her/him a drink” use phrase 2. If you have not and want to ask if she/he drink use phrase 1. Does my answer make sense?
