What are some refreshing non-alcoholic drinks to enjoy at the beach in Mallorca?

On a sun-soaked afternoon at Cala Mondrago or Es Trenc, cooling off with a refreshing drink is essential. A traditional option is a glass of cold horchata de chufa, often found in local markets and cafés around Palma and Manacor. Made from tiger nuts, it offers a subtly sweet, nutty flavor that's both invigorating and hydrating under the Mediterranean sun.

For something fruitier, freshly squeezed orange juice from the Binissalem region’s local groves provides a burst of zesty sweetness. Many beach bars also serve agua de Valencia without the alcohol—simply freshly squeezed citrus mixed with sparkling water or soda, sometimes enhanced with a sprig of local mint from Valldemossa or Deia for that fragrant twist.

If you prefer a homemade style drink, try preparing agua fresca with ingredients like lemon, cucumber, and a touch of local honey, perfect to sip on while lounging along the Ma-19 coastal road en route to Cala Llombards. Toss in some hierbas leaves for an aromatic lift. Whether you’re on the north coast near Formentor or relaxing in Alcudia, these non-alcoholic beverages capture the essence of the island’s flavors and provide perfect refreshment for a day at the beach.
