]]> At times, the vastness of the Starbucks Menu can be overwhelming, especially if you’re not a regular. There are drinks on the menu so top secret that many of the employees haven’t even heard of them. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed at the Starbucks drive-thru, then stop right there and keep reading to see what drink you should order based on your personality.

Calm and Collected

If you’re calm and collected, we recommend one of Starbucks’ more simple drinks, like a hot vanilla or pumpkin latte or cappuccino. This drink is calming and delicious, with enough caffeine to keep you collected throughout your work day.

Dark and Brooding

If you’re dark and brooding we recommend Starbucks Nitro Cold Brew with no sweetener. It’s simple, bold, and dark, and the perfect drink to kick start your day. It may also match that leather jacket you’re always wearing.

Sweet and Bubbly

If you’re sweet and bubbly by nature, we recommend a pink drink. The drink is both bright and sweet, making it a perfect afternoon pick-me-up to brighten your day and satisfy that sweet craving.

Nutty and Fun

If you can be described as both nutty and fun, we recommend one of Starbucks’ holiday drinks such as the Chestnut Praline or Sugar Cookie Latte. These flavors are both out of the box and nutty, and the ultimate way to kick off a fun holiday season.

]]> Water haters tends to have a difficult time in summer. High temperatures mean that dehydration is a big risk, and it’s crucial that you drink as much as possible. Water is probably the best choice to keep hydrated, but not everyone enjoys the taste. There are ways to change it up, including a new one on TikTok. We present to you, jam water!

The simple trick involves adding two spoonfuls of your favorite jam to a glassful of ice. Then, pour in some sparkling water and stir. The result is a sweet, fizzy drink that will keep you refreshed during those hot summer days. You can also use flavored water to create some interesting taste combinations. Here are some of our favorites.

Lime Sparkling Water and Orange Marmalade

This one is for citrus lovers. Keeping it in the same family, the sharpness of the lime gives some balance to the sweetness of the marmalade.

Strawberry Sparkling Water and Blueberry Jam

This is a berry delicious combination (sorry, we had to). Strawberry and blueberry are both classic flavors that work oh so well together. 

Watermelon Sparkling Water and Jalapeño Jam

If you feel like being a bit adventurous, try out this sweet and spicy concoction. The jalapeño gives a kick to the drink, and you can add as much or as little as you like.

]]> TikTok has put many amazing food and drink trends on the map in the past few years, but we also came to learn they should all be taken with a grain of salt. They range from pretty amazing to downright disgusting and that also happens to be the case with some of the summer’s leading drink trends.

Spa Water

This drink is made with water, cucumber, and sugar, and it sounds pretty refreshing at first, so what exactly is the problem? It became quite controversial because it was hit with accusations of cultural appropriation because it’s made with all the same ingredients as the traditional Latin American drink agua fresca.

@strawberrryc0ugh #greenscreenvideo girl made an agua fresca and passed it off as “spa water” 😭 #fyp #foryou #parati #paratupagina ♬ Monkeys Spinning Monkeys – Kevin MacLeod & Kevin The Monkey

Spicy Rosé

If you have a special place in your heart for all things spicy, you probably wouldn’t mind your rosé packing a punch. TikTok user Allyssa Marshall feels the same way and she went viral after putting jalapeños in her rosé and calling this drink spicy rosé.

@allyssainthekitchen

Have you ever tried a jalapeño slice in your rosé?

Profee

TikTok offers many tips and tricks for healthy living that have been disputed by experts, and profee is the latest leaving people puzzled. This drink is all about putting protein powder in your coffee, but keep in mind that it can lead to excess protein intake.

]]> We know, we know, when you’re in the mood to enjoy a cocktail, ways to add vegetables is probably the last thing on your mind, but hear us out. Vegetables can be a delicious way to keep things fresh when you’re looking for a beverage that isn’t too sweet. Cucumbers are great to make a drink more refreshing, and a little bit of jalapeno pepper can add the perfect kick. Grab some ice and a shaker, round up your friends, and serve these veggie-filled cocktails at your next summer gathering.

Skinny Spicy Margarita

This spicy margarita by Mary’s Whole Life uses fresh, clean ingredients to create a delicious cocktail perfect for sipping by the pool. Honey simple syrup provides a wonderfully sweet complement to hot jalapenos while a twist of lime keeps that classic margarita flavor.

Blueberry Cucumber Gimlet

Fresh and fruity combine in this updated take on a classic drink by Gastronom Cocktails. Blueberries muddled with cucumber and lime make for a stunning purple color, which topped with a sprig of mint creates a cocktail that looks as good as it tastes.

Carrot Juice Bloody Mary

There’s nothing wrong with the classic Bloody Mary per se, but we’d be lying if we said it doesn’t make us feel a bit like we’re drinking pasta sauce. In this cocktail by Paleo Gluten Free Guy, tomato juice is replaced by carrot juice for a slight sweetness and a lighter flavor.

]]> There are few things we enjoy more come summer than relaxing by the pool or on the beach with a cold drink. We love a piña colada, and you can never go wrong with a strawberry daiquiri on a hot day, but sometimes we’re in the mood to mix it up a little. While there’s nothing wrong with sticking to the classics, if you’re looking to add some new drinks to your rotation, why not give one of these refreshing new cocktails a try? Sip them solo or prepare a pitcher and invite the neighbors to make it a poolside party.

Pineapple Margarita

Monique from Peaches to Peaches puts a summery spin on a classic cocktail by making her margaritas with pineapple. Serve it on the rocks or blend with ice for a refreshing drink that’s sure to hit the spot.

Raspberry Vodka Soda

Raspberries are in season from May to September, so what better way to use them up in July than by throwing them into this cocktail by Drinks by Evie? It’s also easily made kid-friendly by omitting the alcohol. 

Watermelon Gin Fizz with Mint

Few things say summer as much as watermelon, and this delicious watermelon mint cocktail by Serendipity by Sara Lynn is one of our favorites. Fresh lime juice and seltzer give it a perfect summery twist.
