You saw it, you shared it, we tried it! TikTok is the go-to platform for sharing anything from new dance moves to food trends, from hard-hitting news to opinion pieces, with everything in between, all in catchy videos that are only a few minutes long. We’ve rounded up some of the TikTok drinks that have stood out over the years, including solid hacks and recipes, and some… shall we say, questionable? ideas too. 😉 We’ve got something in here for everyone, whether you’re looking to try the latest trends or want enduring ideas you’ll come back to again and again. Check out our 15 TikTok drinks—tag us @delish if you try any of them.
While we’re always down to try a new, trendy recipe, some of these we really weren’t sure about initially. Then we tried them, and woah—it all made sense. Now to our amazement (and sometimes chagrin 😂), we find ourselves revisiting these recipes long after they’ve come and gone on social media. In summertime, we’re making spiked seltzer slushies, whipped lemonade, Corona Sunrises, boozy sour watermelon slushies (complete with sour candy), and triple-berry sparklers (with berry-filled ice cubes). Don’t even get us started on the Dirty Shirley—we can’t believe we haven’t been adding alcohol to Shirley Temples this whole time! When cold weather comes around, we’re warming up with hot chocolate bombs (the perfect DIY gift too), our poison apple cocktails (with the most festive edible glitter), or our apple cider mimosas. And, of course, we’re always down for a Dalgona coffee—it’s the perfect pick-me-up all year long.
While we’re all about some TikTok trends, some leave us scratching our heads. Is the orange juice espresso drink or "healthy coke" actually good? We’re ultimately not so sure. What we do know is that the fun is all in the trying, rather than the longevity, so cue up some fun music, get your camera ready, and check them out for yourself.
Spiked Seltzer Slushies
If you thought a can of White Claw was perfect on its own, you haven't given it a whirl in your blender. This recipe (if you can even call it that!) can be easily customized based on what flavors and fruits you prefer. Our favorite combos: lemon-flavored spiked seltzer + frozen strawberries or mango + frozen pineapple.
Get the Spiked Seltzer Slushies recipe.
Dalgona Coffee
Dalgona coffee started as a Tik Tok trend and quickly became a staple in our kitchens. All you need is instant coffee, sugar, and water (and a little elbow grease!) to make this fluffy, perfectly sweetened caffeine treat.
Get the Dalgona Coffee recipe.
Whipped Lemonade
TikTok taught us that blending your favorite lemonade with some sweetened condensed milk turns it into a creamy frozen drink that's super delicious: sweet and tart and as refreshing as can be. We'll be skipping milkshakes for these this summer!
Get the Whipped Lemonade recipe.
Dirty Shirley
Bright and colorful, sweet with just a hint of booze, the Dirty Shirley quickly became THE drink of summer 2022, thanks in part to its popularity on TikTok. It’s a boozy version of the classic Shirley Temple so many of us grew up with—and let’s be honest, what too-sweet mocktail can’t be improved with a shot of vodka?
Get the Dirty Shirley recipe.
Hot Chocolate Bombs
ICYMI: Chocolate molds are filled with homemade hot cocoa mix and marshmallows that explode after being dropped into hot milk. Although they are extremely fun to watch unfold, it's not just a novelty thing. The melted chocolate, along with the hot chocolate mix, makes the creamiest drink.
Get the Hot Chocolate Bombs recipe.
Triple-Berry Sparklers
The secret to this super attractive refresher? The berry ice cubes. For this drink, we froze blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries in coconut water, but use this technique to improve everything from lemonade to cold brew (chocolate milk ice cubes maybe?).
Get the Triple-Berry Sparklers recipe.
Orange Juice Espresso
We tried the viral TikTok orange juice espresso drink, and we didn't hate it! We might not drink it every day, but if you're looking to mix up your regular cold brew on occasion, we say give this recipe a try! Hot tip: Drink it out of a wine glass like your favorite brunch cocktail.
Get the Orange Juice Espresso recipe.
Corona Sunrise
We know some folks might prefer not to mix booze and beer, but we think, with the right combinations, it can be a match made in heaven. Why do we love this tequila sunrise-inspired trend? It's genius, simple to make, and looks gorgeous. Bonus: Using the bottle means you don't need to dirty up any extra dishes for mixing!
Get the Corona Sunrise recipe.
Poison Apple Cocktail
TikTok was ALL about the edible glitter, available here. (We're admittedly also OBSESSED.) Be warned: The glitter needs to be SERIOUSLY mixed up in order to have the crazy swirl-y effect, so if you don't have a cocktail shaker, try a blender.
Get the Poison Apple Cocktail recipe.
"Healthy Coke"
"Healthy coke" was a TikTok trend where people combined balsamic vinegar and seltzer, saying it tasted just like cola. We tried it, expecting to hate it, but honestly, it wasn't that bad. Does it taste like Coke? Not really. And the aroma gives salad dressing way more than cola. The flavor is more of a semi-fruity soda, which, TBH, isn't that bad!
Get the "Healthy Coke" recipe.
Dalgona Martini
Dalgona, or whipped coffee, is now the coolest thing to top all of your drinks with. Try it on top of this simple Baileys martini for an instant trendy pick-me-up.
Get the Dalgona Martini recipe.
Whipped Strawberry Milk
We're going to let you in on a little secret—you can whisk pretty much anything if you combine it with heavy cream! Here, we take a queue from food blogger Valentina Mussi and whip our childhood fave—strawberry milk powder—into a fluffy cloud of fruity goodness. Move over, Dalgona!
Get the Whipped Strawberry Milk recipe.
Cotton Candy Shots
TikTok is all about recipes that are visually striking, and these definitely pack a major impressive punch. We think these are perfect for any of your after dark parties and celebrations—coordinate colors for different holidays. Try flavored vodka for an added burst of sweetness too!
Get the Cotton Candy Shots recipe.
Apple Cider Mimosas
As the weather gets colder and we start craving autumnal flavors, we reach for the apple cider mimosa, popularized on TikTok. It's the perfect fall twist on the classic mimosa and gives you yet another reason to celebrate the season.
Get the Apple Cider Mimosas recipe.
