This is the drink you need to bring a well-lived brat summer to a close. If you’ve been living under a rock and have no clue what a brat summer is—brat summer is all about embracing your inner glam-grunge chaos girly-goblin. Influenced by the lauded Charlie XCX album, Brat, the vibes are all about manic energy, last night's glitter, and incorporating that signature shade of vibrant lime green however you can.
Enter the Brat Sour. Did I make this up specifically to celebrate the viral moment? Absolutely. The flavor is a cross between a Midori sour and a coconut spritz thanks to melon liqueur, coconut water, and a splash of lime juice. Sip this alongside a basket of hot and crispy French fries before a night out with the besties while it's still warm enough to party on your favorite rooftop. This sour, sweet, and delightfully fizzy drink will make a late night roll into an early morning in the blink of a liner-smudged eye.
