Summer is on its way, which means beach days, vacations and sun bathing. It also means hot weather, which can take a toll on your body. Not to worry, though, because we all know the best cure for summer’s heat: an iced, cold lemonade. But we’re not talking about any old lemonade, we’re talking about fun and funky flavors that will get you through the heat. To help you find the perfect thirst-quencher for the coming season, we’ve compiled a list of our top five summer lemonades. 

#5: Mango Pineapple Lemonade Refresher from Dunkin’ Donuts

This fruity drink has the amazing combination of two of summer’s favorite fruits: mango and pineapple. When you go to order this drink, make sure to substitute the normal green tea base with lemonade for that fresh, zesty flavor. With its stunning orange color, this lemonade has a vibrant taste that can brighten anyone’s day. The only downside to this drink is that it may be overly sweet for some people’s taste, so be warned. 

#4: Sunburst Melon Lemonade from Wendy’s 

With a mix of watermelon, cantaloupe, kiwi and strawberry, this flavorful concoction will leave you refreshed and energized. This citrusy peach colored drink is the lemonade version of a fruit salad. However, a lot of the melon flavor gets lost in the strawberry, resulting in more of a strawberry lemonade rather than a melon lemonade. But if you’re in need of a quick lemonade fix, Wendy’s has your back. 

#3: Strawberry Lemon Mint Charged Lemonade from Panera Bread

This new addition to Panera’s menu has the perfect revitalizing flavor, with a whopping 259 mg of caffeine per serving. It will provide all the energy you’ll need for your summer activities. While you may be hesitant about the mint flavor, it has a cooling effect that is much needed in the summer heat. This pink colored drink contains guarana, a fruit that has many health benefits such as improving focus, promoting weight loss and boosting heart health. This charged-up lemonade is just another reason to take a trip to your local Panera Bread!

#2: Frosted Lemonade from Chick-fil-A

Picture this: it’s 90 degrees outside with painfully high humidity, and you just need an ice cold treat. Chick-fil-A’s frosted lemonade is the perfect drink that comes in clutch when you need it most. This masterpiece is a combination of lemonade and ice cream blended together into creamy lemon perfection. A frosted lemonade is almost like a lemonade milkshake, but the lemonade doesn’t overpower the taste of the sweet ice cream. This unique and clever combination will surprise you!

#1: Mango Dragon Fruit Lemonade Refresher from Starbucks  

Starbucks never fails with this summer favorite, which provides a tropical flavor with the inclusion of juicy dragon fruit pieces. This drink has the sweet taste of mango and fresh lemonade all poured over ice. The vibrant hot pink color is sure to catch some attention, and the flavors flawlessly blend together. This is the perfect mood booster to accompany you on a sunny beach day.
