Raise a Glass: Summer Cocktails That Channel The Summer I Turned Pretty

Swoon-Worthy Sips: Cocktails Inspired by The Summer I Turned Pretty.

The finale of The Summer I Turned Pretty left us swooning, sighing, and maybe even craving a cocktail (or two). From Belly and Conrad’s tender slow-burn to Jeremiah’s sunshine charm and Taylor’s chaotic sparkle, the Cousins Beach drama lingers long after the credits roll. What better way to keep that summer-soaked, heart-flutter feeling alive than with a glass in hand?

Here are four Hendrick’s cocktails that capture the essence of the characters we can’t stop thinking about:

1. Gin Buck – “Belly’s Unfinished Business”

Sweet, tart, and just a little bittersweet—like Belly juggling love triangles and life lessons all summer.

Ingredients:

50 ml Hendrick’s Original Gin

15 ml fresh lemon juice

2 dashes Angostura bitters

Ginger ale (to top)

3 cucumber rounds (for garnish)

Method: In a highball glass filled with ice, combine gin, lemon juice, and bitters. Top with chilled ginger ale, stir lightly, and garnish with cucumber slices. Best served with a wink and a little longing.

2. Flora Adora Clover Club – “Conrad’s Quiet Storm”

Moody, layered, and secretly sweet—this velvet-smooth cocktail channels Conrad’s introvert energy and hidden romantic streak.

Ingredients:

60 ml Hendrick’s Flora Adora

25 ml fresh lemon juice

20 ml raspberry syrup

1 egg white

Method: Shake all ingredients without ice first (to foam), then add ice and shake again. Fine strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Slow-burn romance, shaken not stirred.

3. Oasium & Tonic – “Jeremiah’s Golden Glow”

Easy, bubbly, and effortlessly charming—this crisp highball is pure Jeremiah: sunshine with a twist.

Ingredients:

1 part Hendrick’s Oasium

3 parts tonic water

Cucumber slices (for garnish)

Method: Build over ice in a highball glass, top with tonic, garnish with cucumber, and sip the glow.

4. Oasium Fizz – “Taylor’s Chaos Charm”

Fresh, flirty, and impossible to ignore—Taylor’s wild best-friend energy fizzes through every citrusy gulp.

Ingredients:

2 parts Hendrick’s Oasium

1 part pink grapefruit juice

1 part lime juice

1 part sugar syrup

Soda (to top)

Cucumber slice (for garnish)

Method: In a glass filled with ice, add Oasium, juices, and sugar syrup. Top with soda, stir gently, and garnish with cucumber. Sip, sparkle, repeat.
