Close your eyes and feel the sunshine on your face, a breeze in your hair, and a melting popsicle dripping onto your hand. Now open your eyes and exhale deeply. Congratulations: we’ve made it through yet another looooong winter, and the days of sunny togetherness we’ve been yearning for are finally, finally here.
But summer is way too short to spend doomscrolling inside. At Wynk, we’re all about silencing the push notifications and getting together for restorative, life-affirming hangs. For Summer 2025, let’s make some core memories with our closest friends—live and in the flesh.
Usually, when people think of summer, they picture ice-cold adult bevs. But maybe you need a break from booze, or just want to try something new. Enter: garden seltzers. As an alternative to alcohol, THC seltzers like Wynk are low-stress and high-vibe, letting you be totally present. Whether you’re looking to add mindfulness to your social drinking or just want to try something different, the concept of “fun” is yours to reclaim on your own terms.
Time’s a-ticking—go make those plans! To help you out, we’ve created a Get Together-inspired summer bucket list to kickstart you and your friends on your quest to unplug, reconnect, give back, explore the world around you, and have an unforgettable summer.
1. The Thrift Crawl 🧺
Nothing good has ever happened after a bar crawl—this summer, it’s all about the thrift crawl. Get your friends together, make a hit list of local secondhand shops, and spark up some competitive spirit by challenging each other to find the best pieces.
If you’re a serious thrifter hitting your local Goodwill bins, don’t forget to grab some Wynk to keep the vibes high—and some gloves before you dive in for that perfectly faded vintage band tee or a cool belt to make your new signature accessory. Embrace your inner fashionista with a fitting room runway show and snap plenty of pics of your $5 treasures. Once you’re done, pat yourself on the back: shopping secondhand helps reduce waste and cuts down on the emissions used to produce new stuff. Who needs a bar crawl when you’ve got a Wynk-powered thrift crawl?
2. A Night Out(side) 🌌
One of the best parts of summer? Clear skies—day and night. Bring new meaning to “a night out” by making it a night outside. Grab your favorite blanket and check the local forecast to plan an evening of stargazing with your closest friends.
Daily life can get so hectic that we forget to look up in awe. But there’s something magical about stargazing with people you love. City-dwellers, it might be a biiiiiit harder to spot stars, but the right rooftop still offers a great view. Otherwise, head to a park, the beach, or even someone’s backyard—especially if there’s a telescope in the mix. Unpack your Wynks, get cozy, and let the stars wink back at you.
3. [Insert Oddly Specific Local Festival Here] 🎏
Every town has one. And if you think yours doesn’t—it probably does, you just haven’t found it yet. Whether it’s a pickle festival, a strawberry bash, an alpaca parade, or something even weirder, summer is made for niche festivals and spontaneous get-togethers.
Make it your mission to hit at least one this year. Dress the part, eat the snacks, and try every quirky contest and carnival game in sight. Peak summer energy is about spontaneity and silliness—and you don’t need a cocktail to enjoy it. But if you find yourself stranded in the middle of, say, an accordion flash mob, crack open a Wynk, take a deep breath, and run for cover.
4. Play the Field (Day) 🥍
Sorry, middle schoolers—it’s time for adults to reclaim Field Day. Rally the group chat and plan a day of grown-up games: dizzy bat, Wynk pong, relay races, scavenger hunts, or any excuse to pelt your friends with water balloons.
Afterwards, host a medal ceremony for the day's MVPs. Want to level it up? Invite other friend groups and compete for ultimate bragging rights. While you’re cooling off on the sidelines, dig into the cooler for a garden seltz refresh, soak it all in, and get back out there. THC and CBD help you unwind and stay present—no overdoing it, no regrets, just good, clean fun.
5. Get Together (With Purpose) 🫶
We’ve mentioned volunteering on the blog before, but in the spirit of reconnection, we challenge you to add one act of good to your summer bucket list—and do it with friends.
Whether it’s packing meals, teaching kids to read, cleaning up your neighborhood, or writing letters to patients at your local hospital, doing good together is its own kind of joy. Be present, be intentional, and once you’re done, celebrate your impact with some cold cans and quiet reflection. You’ve earned it.
If you decide to take on the official Get Together Summer Bucket List Challenge, keep us posted on your progress. See how being more intentional about when, how, and what you drink can shift your summer in the best way. When you opt for garden seltz, you’re not opting out of fun—you’re enhancing it. No lost phones. No conversations you can’t remember. No next-day hangxiety.
Make this summer count—with more laughs, more pictures, and more memories. All you need is some sunshine, some friends, a disposable camera or two, and a cooler full of Wynk to refresh you on these long, beautiful, summer days ahead.
