Who says Lemonade is only for summer? Cranberry is a classic fall or winter flavor, but it works well in one of Mike’s seasonal lemonades – Cranberry lemonade. It’s a little more festive, but the tart taste of cranberry and the underlying lemon flavor makes you ready for any season. 


Red Freeze

This list wouldn’t be complete without the flavor that started it all – hard Lemonade. Although Mike’s keeps adding new lines and flavors, the best-selling is still the original Lemonade. It’s a classic and remains popular for a good reason: it’s a delicious hard lemonade. There’d be no Mike’s without this flavor.


Black Raspberry

Although it doesn’t seem like black raspberry would be an iconic Mike’s flavor, it’s one of the more popular of the recent lineups. It has all the elements of the classic black cherry but adds a hint of raspberry to make it a little tarter. From college parties to backyard barbecues, this drink has become quite popular. 


Apple Pear

Although Mike’s doesn’t have a hard cider line, the apple pear flavor of Lemonade is often compared to a hard cider. It’s not quite the same – it still has Lemonade, and the pear sweetens the application considerably. However, if you love hard cider, you’ll likely still like this flavor option. 


White Freeze

Unlike the other freezes on the list, the white freeze doesn’t originate from a slush flavor; instead, it tastes like an orange creamsicle. With orange and cream soda flavors, this hard Lemonade is delicious and brings us back to drippy orange creamsicles and sticky fingers as children. 


Pineapple Mandarin

Pineapple is one of the sweetest fruits, so it makes sense that it’s paired with mandarin oranges, which add some tartness. The pineapple notes don’t overwhelm Mike’s hard flavor, allowing for the mandarin and lemon flavors to come through quite nicely. It’s still one of the sweetest on the list, however!

Blackberry Pear

Mike’s has tried a lot of classic flavors over the years, but we love that the company has begun combining fruits to make excellent lemonade cocktails. One of the newest is the Blackberry Pear, which features soft pear notes and a strong blackberry body. It’s delicious! 


Pineapple Strawberry

Pineapple strawberry is one of the most classic smoothie flavors, and it comes together nicely in this Lemonade. The pineapple’s sweetness pairs with the strawberry’s sweetness, but both have a little tartness to make up for it.


Pink Freeze
