TL;DR
Alcohol at Xanadu is typical for Hurghada all-inclusives — local spirits and sometimes watered-down beer. Exception: decent sparkling wine and the option to ask bartenders for imported bottles (Martini, Aperol).
A recent report says cocktails at Xanadu have improved noticeably this year, possibly after a change of local alcohol supplier. The tequila was also considered quite acceptable when drunk neat.
Beer at Xanadu can be watered down inconsistently — some evenings it's diluted, other times it's fine. Worth keeping an eye on quality and asking for a replacement if needed.
Overall, the alcohol at Xanadu is standard local quality — the same as most mid-range Hurghada all-inclusives. Don't expect anything special unless you're staying at a premium property.
One pleasant exception at Xanadu is the sparkling wine — it's decent quality compared to the rest of the drinks on offer.
For genuine imported spirits, it's worth negotiating with the bartenders — they can source Martini, Aperol, and similar brands. Ask them to open the bottle in front of you to verify authenticity.
