Hi, Chai.
It means "however" in this sentence.
她的儿子则有一杯橙汁 ≈ 她的儿子却有一杯橙汁。
但是,“却”表示否定的意义更重。
另外,使用“则”的时候,需要和其他事物产生对比。
例如,你不能单独说“我的妈妈则是中国人”,必须是“我的爸爸是美国人,我的妈妈则是中国人”。
这里有一些其他例子,帮助你更好地理解“则”的这个用法:
小明特别喜欢吃汉堡,我则不是。
我经常在周末和朋友一起打篮球,我的室友则喜欢去图书馆学习。

in this sentence, it means her son's drink is different from others
