Since It's Thursday

Altamonte Springs

If there’s one thing about me, it’s that I will always find joy in the little things—fresh nails, good lighting, and a drink that tastes like childhood nostalgia decided to glow up. And that’s exactly what happened when I pulled up to the Dutch Bros in Altamonte Springs and ordered the OG Gummy Bear Lemonade.

Let me tell you… this drink did not come to play.

From the moment they handed it to me—icy, vibrant, and smelling like a candy store with a skincare routine—I knew I was about to have a moment. The first sip? A whole storyline. Imagine the fruity chaos of gummy bears, but make it chic. Sweet, tart, playful, and just enough attitude to match mine.

What I love about this Dutch Bros location is the energy. The baristas act like they’ve been waiting all day just to hype you up. Like yes, thank you, I am that girl, and yes, I would like extra ice.

But back to the drink.
This lemonade gives “summer in a cup,” but she also gives “main character walking out of Target with unnecessary but fabulous purchases.” It’s bright without being childish, sweet without being sticky, and refreshing in that “I definitely needed this more than I realized” kind of way.

By the time I finished it, I genuinely felt like my day had a soft reset. Maybe it was the sugar. Maybe it was the vibes. Maybe it was the fact that for a tiny moment, I was sipping something that felt like happiness with a straw.

Either way?
If you’re in the Altamonte Springs area, go treat yourself. Get the OG Gummy Bear Lemonade. Enjoy the boost, the flavor, the nostalgia, the whole mood. And then, like me, pretend you’re in a lifestyle montage of your own YouTube vlog.

Because honestly… you probably are.
