10 Extra-Refreshing Summer Beverages

From Spiked Agua Frescas to Gut-Friendly Canned Beverages

As the warmer months will soon be upon us, various brands are highlighting existing or launching new refreshing summer beverages. Often offered in vibrant, aesthetically driven packaging, these products satisfy various consumer desires and tastes.

For the casual drinker who places emphasis on aroma and is mindful of sugar intake, Great Lakes Brewery launched two low-calorie options under the name Great Lakes Spirits—Gin Soda with Key Lime and Vodka Soda with Citrus. For those looking to enjoy a more extravagant alcoholic cocktail, Empress 1908 Gin never disappoints. Crafted in small batches, this color-changing spirit delivers both taste and appearance, making it perfect for special occasions.

For individuals who prefer non-alcoholic options, this refreshing summer beverage list boasts some health-focused offerings. Happy Inside, for instance, makes gut-friendly beverages available to consumers. These recipes are free of sugar and contain less than 90 calories. Flavors include Lime & Mint or Yuzu, Ginger & Pomegranate, and more.
