Summer for Gen Z isn’t just a season; it’s a mood board. It is that golden hour selfie glow, the poolside aesthetic, the spontaneous road trip, and yes, the perfect playlist that makes every moment feel like a music video. And what’s a great summer without the ultimate refreshment in hand? Here are some of the drinks that Gen Z is loving this year.

Maaza: Maaza isn’t just a summer favourite, it’s a celebration in every sip. Crafted with the goodness of real, juicy Alphonso mangoes, Maaza brings India’s most loved fruit to life, no matter the season. As the mercury rises, this iconic drink naturally becomes a go-to for mango lovers, offering a mess-free way to enjoy the king of fruits. But Maaza is more than a seasonal refreshment, it's about savouring special moments, from sun-soaked picnics to everyday family time.
Sprite: Sprite’s lemon-lime flavour is made to cut through the summer heat with instant refreshment. Cool, soothing, and sharp from the first sip, Sprite is the top pick for those who like their chill uncomplicated. Whether you are pairing it with spicy street food, heading out on an adventure, or just trying to beat the heat, Sprite fits right in.
Coke Zero: For the Gen-Zers who love the cool, crisp taste of Coca-Cola but want to keep things light, Coke Zero is the ultimate refreshment. No sugar, no compromise, just the iconic flavour of Coke in its most refreshing form.
