One or two of the statements could be true; all of the statements could be true; or none of the statements could be true. Choose your answer based solely on the information given in the first three facts.

Its not necessary that some drink mixes are red. It might be the case that some drink mixes are red, but not necessarily. So, 1st statement is not true.
I will explain more: There are some beverages which are not drink mixes. So, it might be the case that all those beverages which are not drink mixes, are red. So, none of the drink mixes are red.

If all drink mixes are beverages then its not necessary that all beverages are drink mixes. So there may be some beverages which are not drink mixes and they may be red. so statement 1 is false. Correct me if I am wrong.

Statement 1 is incorrect.
E.G, suppose.
Drink mixes = orange juice,
Beverages have orange juice, grape juice, apple juice.
Now think and apply in current question.

If (III) is correct, then (I) becomes correct automatically. Hence answer must be I & III.

If (III) is correct then I also think I is correct because it gives us more information on the red drink mixes.

1 draw circle as drink mixes come under beverage and beverage come under drinkable.As some beverages are red so this new circle come under drinkable touching beverages circle.now see
2according to first fact drink mixes may be red but not confirm.
3all beverage can't be drinkable it is reverse so it is wrong
4 all red drink mixes come under drinkable so it is true.

@Prithvi,
As per your answer (drink mix = Orange juice, not only I but also statement no. III is also wrong. How can an Orange juice be in red color? Only grape can be in red. I accept I is wrong and also III.

First you draw 3 concyclic circles innermost for drink mix, middle one for beverages and outer for drinkable.
1.1st option is wrong because lets take two more small circles one intersect all circle, and other intersecting only beverages and drinkable so by this diagram its clear that there are two cases for 1st option so it can not be a answer.
2. Second option is clearly wrong.
3. Third option is true because when you draw a circle intersecting drink mix i.e. is inner one it is always come under drinkable.
And most important don't mix 1, 2, 3 statement take it separately and try to find answer by this method.
