The "c" is pronounced as "th" when followed by "e" or "i". I think the word you are looking for is cerveza. The strength of this "lisp" (from a L.A. point of view) varies based on regions. Mallorca's official languages are Catalan and Spanish. I would say that the "lisp" is somewhat soft due to the influence of Catalan (never been but I have been to Barcelona and this is what I noticed there).
Also the "z" is pronounced like "th" as it is in this example.

Use the "th" sound for both, but "cerveza" has also an "r" in it too.
