Bubly Proves Summer Isn’t Over Yet With Its New Flavors

Bubly has had a busy 2026. The PepsiCo brand has, it seems, spent much of the year thinking about how it can expand beyond its line of more traditional (but still very good) flavors, and as such, we’ve seen some fun moves. Some of them didn’t entirely stick the landing – we didn’t fall head over heels for its Super Mario Galaxy seltzers when we tried them, nor did we love its new canned wine spritzers – but others, like the return of its Melted Ice Pop flavor, were received with open arms.

And now, Bubly’s apparently decided that summer is going to continue well into September, thanks to two new mocktail-inspired flavors that feel designed to be enjoyed under a blazing sun. Let’s discuss.

New Bubly Flavors

Earlier this week, Bubly announced its new duo of limited-time flavors for this fall: Berry Sparkle Sangria and Paradise Paloma. The former is made with raspberry, lemon, orange, strawberry, and lime flavors, and in its press release, Bubly says that it’s “perfect for autumn nights in” (more on that in a moment). The latter, meanwhile, combines grapefruit and lime flavors to (again from Bubly) “extend the feeling of summer.”

I do have to admit that, while I like the sound of both of these flavors, I’m a little confused by the pitching of Berry Sparkle Sangria as an autumnal drink. Yes, berries are as much fall produce as they are summer fare, but strawberries and raspberries…feel pretty summery, as does sangria itself. But look, I’m not going to complain about two new options, particularly when they’re as fun as these – and anything that makes us feel like summer’s still alive and kicking is good in my book. Now if you could just make some alcoholic versions of these, Bubly, that’d be awesome. I respect and appreciate the mocktail vibe for non-drinkers, but I’d love to see what it made of a traditional paloma.

Where? And When?

Berry Sparkle Sangria and Paradise Paloma are available now in retailers nationwide. They’ll be sold in eight-packs of 12-ounce cans, and they’ll also be purchasable online. The Melted Ice Pop flavor I mentioned above is also still available in some stores, incidentally, albeit in limited quantities — so if you’re really determined to keep summer going, grab that one at the same time, stick a heat lamp on, and get the deck chairs out. It’s a state of mind, people!
