We’re slowly approaching the final days of summer, and this season certainly brought many amazing TikTok trends our way. From Grimace shake to Hugo Spritz, we’re bringing you five trendy drinks that went viral on this social media platform in the past few months.
Grimace Shake
After McDonald’s introduced the Grimace shake to celebrate the birthday of their beloved mascot, TikTok users started a bizarre and silly trend, filming horror-themed videos that involved this drink.

Barbie Shake
Grimace shake also served as inspiration for the “Barbie shake” craze, which saw men turning into Barbiefied versions of themselves after drinking Cold Stone Creamery’s Barbie shake.
Jam Water Mocktails
Jam water mocktails also became huge on TikTok this year, and you can make them with just two ingredients – a lime La Croix and raspberry lychee jam.

Three Drinks Theory
The “three drinks theory” is all about drinking three drinks at once – one for hydration, one for energy, and one for fu—and it’s been making the rounds on TikTok this spring and summer.
Hugo Spritz
If we had to pick the No. 1 TikTok cocktail of the summer of 2023, it would definitely be Hugo Spritz. Described as “the new Aperol”, this Italian cocktail is usually made with prosecco, elderflower liqueur, seltzer, lime, and mint.
