Best friends Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox reveal the “divine drink” they always have to share together whenever they meet

Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox have been inseparable best friends for over three decades, both on-screen and off. While fans have long admired their unbreakable bond since their Friends days, the iconic duo has recently revealed one of their best-kept friendship secrets — the “divine drink” they simply must share whenever they get together.

In a new lighthearted interview on the popular web series Sip & Spill, the two actresses opened up about the little traditions that have kept their friendship so strong over the years. Among those, one stood out — a special drink recipe they claim is nothing short of “magical.”

The Birth of the ‘Divine Drink’

“It started during the third season of Friends,” Jennifer laughed. “We were exhausted, filming late, and Courtney came over with this mysterious drink in a mason jar and said, ‘You need this.’”

Courteney chimed in with a smile, “It was the first time we really let loose off set. We sat on my balcony, talking for hours. By the second glass, we weren’t just actresses working together — we were sisters.”

From that night on, the tradition was born.

So, What’s the Drink?

The drink, as they revealed with mischievous grins, is called the “Citrus Cloud.”

“It’s this creamy, citrusy, frothy thing — light as air but packs a punch,” Courteney explained.

Jennifer then broke down the recipe (while teasing that they might bottle it someday):

Freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice

A dash of yuzu for that tart kick

Premium silver tequila (“Always top-shelf,” Jen insisted)

A splash of elderflower liqueur

A whipped froth made from aquafaba (chickpea water) instead of egg whites — vegan friendly and frothy

Served over crushed ice with a rim of pink Himalayan salt and a twist of lime

“It’s Like Happiness in a Glass”

“We call it the ‘Citrus Cloud’ because it’s this light, dreamy drink that somehow lifts your mood instantly,” Jennifer said, raising an imaginary glass in the air.

Courteney nodded. “It’s almost… divine. The balance of tart, sweet, salty, and that little boozy kick — it’s perfect.”

Whenever they meet — whether it’s a Sunday catch-up, a quiet dinner, or a weekend getaway — one of them always texts first: “Clouds?”

“Whenever that text comes in,” Jennifer laughed, “it’s a guarantee we’re making Citrus Clouds and catching up on life.”

More Than Just a Drink — It’s a Ritual

For the two, the drink represents more than just a fun cocktail. It symbolizes their shared commitment to staying connected through all of life’s ups and downs.

“It’s not about the alcohol,” Courteney clarified. “It’s about pausing life. We sit, we sip, and we talk — really talk. No phones, no distractions.”

Jennifer added, “This world moves so fast. Having these moments where it’s just the two of us, a drink in hand, and conversations about everything from the silly to the deep — it’s sacred.”

Fans React: “Friendship Goals!”

As clips from the interview spread across social media, fans couldn’t get enough.

“These two are literally friendship goals. I need a Citrus Cloud with my bestie ASAP!”

“Can they please bottle this drink and sell it? TAKE MY MONEY!”

“Jennifer and Courteney prove that the real magic of Friends was always their real-life friendship.”

Some fans even started attempting to recreate the Citrus Cloud at home, sharing videos and photos of their versions under the trending hashtag #CitrusCloudChallenge.

A Toast to Timeless Friendship

As the interview wrapped, Jennifer raised her glass to the camera and said, “Here’s to best friends, divine drinks, and never letting life get in the way of a good conversation.”

Courteney grinned, clinking her glass with Jennifer’s imaginary one. “May we all have our version of the Citrus Cloud.”
