From internet-famous spritzes to dreamy mocktails, these are the drinks owning summer 2025.

Summer is a vibe, and this year, it tastes like tangy citrus, pretty ice cubes, and just the right amount of fizz.

Whether you’re lounging poolside, dancing at a sunset party, or just trying to elevate your Tuesday, these are the sips stealing the spotlight this season.

The Aperol Spritz… But Make It Peach

Hailey Bieber might’ve kicked off the “Aperol Aesthetic” but this summer, it’s getting a peachy remix.

Add a splash of peach liqueur or muddled fresh peaches to your classic spritz for a softer, slightly sweeter vibe.

Serve in a huge glass with an orange slice. Major la dolce vita energy.

Cucumber Matcha Fizz

Matcha isn’t just for your morning latte anymore..

This green goddess blends cucumber juice, matcha, soda water, and a hint of lime.

It’s cooling, slightly earthy, and tastes like a spa day in Tokyo.

Frozen Paloma

Think of it as the spicy cousin of the frozen margarita.

Grapefruit juice, tequila, lime, agave – all blended with crushed ice and a Tajín rim.

Sweet, salty, citrusy. Warning: dangerously sippable.

The Dirty Shirley Reboot

The nostalgic 2000s drink is back, but grown up.

Swap the Sprite for soda water, add vodka, and garnish with actual maraschino cherries (the fancy kind).

It’s pink, playful, and perfect for rooftop nights.

Butterfly Pea Flower Iced Tea

Yes, it’s  purple. Yes, it changes color with lemon juice. Yes, it’s all over your For You page.

Serve it with a clear glass, giant ice cubes, and a straw that says, “I brunch in Bali.”

Melon Basil Mocktail

Not drinking? This one’s for you.

Blend honeydew melon, fresh basil, a squeeze of lime, and top with sparkling water.

It’s bright, green, and tastes like main character hydration.

Espresso Tonic (Still Here, Still Weirdly Good)

A sleeper hit turned cult classic.

Mix a shot of espresso with tonic water and orange zest.

It’s bitter, bubbly, and oddly refreshing.

The kind of drink you order at a bookstore café run by hot hipsters.

Want to Level Up?

Use floral ice cubes (with frozen edible flowers), colored glassware, or oversized wine goblets.

Your drink should be as cute as your outfit!
