When the summer<\/a> sun blazes over Barcelona, there\u2019s nothing quite like sipping a cold drink on a shaded terrace. While sangria might be the go-to beverage many travellers expect, locals often reach for something different, lighter, fizzier, and more authentic. Barcelona <\/a>offers an incredible array of refreshing summer drinks<\/strong> that go far beyond the fruity pitcher of red wine and chopped fruit. So, keep reading to discover other delightful drinks that will quench your thirst other than sangria.<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

Vermouth<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

You might associate vermouth<\/strong><\/a> with sophisticated cocktails<\/a>, but in Barcelona, drinking vermouth is a beloved midday tradition. Served chilled over ice with a slice of orange and a green olive, this aromatic wine has a bittersweet taste that\u2019s deeply satisfying in the heat.<\/p>\n

\n
\"A<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Locals often enjoy vermouth just before lunch, especially on weekends. You’ll find it in old-school and trendy bars, from Bar Bodega Quimet<\/strong><\/a> in Poble Sec to Morro Fi<\/strong> in Eixample. Pair it with some anchovies, olives, or chips, and you\u2019ve got yourself a real Catalan aperitivo.<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

Clara<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

For those who find beer a bit heavy under the sun, Clara <\/strong>is the ultimate summer lifesaver. It\u2019s a simple yet genius mix: 50% beer and 50% lemon soda (like Fanta lemon). It\u2019s a super-refreshing<\/strong>, low-alcohol drink that quenches your thirst without knocking you out in the midday heat. You can order it at any bar, and don\u2019t be surprised if it becomes your go-to beachside<\/a> refreshment.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Glass<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Tinto de Verano<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

If you love sangr\u00eda but want something lighter and more commonly consumed by locals, tinto de verano<\/strong> is your answer. Literally \u201cred wine of summer,\u201d this drink is a combination of red wine with lemon soda or sparkling water, often served with plenty of ice and a slice of citrus fruit.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Two<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s less sweet and less alcoholic than sangr\u00eda, making it a favourite for long and lazy afternoons. You\u2019ll often find it in neighbourhood<\/a> bars and even in bottled versions at supermarkets, ready for a beach picnic.<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

Granissat de Llimona<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

When it\u2019s too hot, Barcelona\u2019s answer is a granissat<\/strong>. This icy delight is essentially a slushy, and the lemon version (granissat de llimona) reigns supreme. Tart, fresh, and wildly cooling, it\u2019s popular <\/strong>with kids and grown-ups alike. Look for it in traditional cafes<\/a>, beach kiosks, or horchater\u00edas. Some even add a splash of cava or vermouth to give it a grown-up twist.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/div>\n\n

Horchata de Chufa<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Not to be confused with Latin American horchata <\/strong>made from rice, the Spanish version is made from tiger nuts and has a unique nutty and earthy flavour. Served ice cold<\/strong>, this plant-based drink is naturally sweet and a great non-alcoholic option.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Two<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Best enjoyed in the summer months, horchata is especially popular in Valencia but is widely loved in Barcelona too. Stop by a speciality shop like El T\u00edo Che<\/strong><\/a> in Poblenou to try a traditional glass, or grab a bottle from the supermarket for your fridge.<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

Cava<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

No visit to Barcelona is complete without sipping some cava. This Catalan<\/a> sparkling wine is crisp, bubbly, and perfect for toasting summer sunsets on a rooftop terrace. While cava is often reserved for celebrations, locals happily enjoy it as an aperitif or even with seafood tapas.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Waiter<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Try a cava rosado for a refreshing twist, or visit a cava bar like Can Paixano<\/strong><\/a> in Barceloneta for a lively local experience, expect standing room only and a plate full of jam\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

Agua de Valencia<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Despite the name, Agua de Valencia <\/strong>has found fans in Barcelona too, especially in cocktail bars or when celebrating summer nights. This cocktail combines cava, orange juice, vodka, and gin for a dangerously drinkable concoction that tastes like a citrusy punch but packs a real kick.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Two<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\n

Bitter Kas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

This bold, reddish soda has a cult following in Spain. Made from bitter herbs and citrus, Bitter Kas<\/strong> has a complex, grown-up flavour, imagine a cross between a tonic and Campari without the alcohol. Locals <\/strong>drink it as an aperitivo or a mixer with vermouth or gin. It’s a bit of an acquired taste, but if you’re into amaro or aperol-type drinks, give it a shot.
<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n\n

Fresh Fruit Juices<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Amid the indulgence of tapas<\/a> and late-night cocktails, Barcelona also has a strong heal<\/strong><\/a>t<\/a><\/strong>hy<\/strong><\/a>-living <\/strong>scene. Summer is the perfect time to explore the city\u2019s many juice <\/strong>bars and smoothie caf\u00e9s. From green detox <\/em>blends to fresh watermelon or mango juice, there\u2019s something for every palate. <\/strong>La Boqueria market<\/strong><\/a> is a great place to grab a cold juice on the go, especially if you\u2019re exploring Las Ramblas. Just look for the rainbow-coloured stalls lining the aisles.<\/p>\n
