15 Dutch Bros caffeine-free drinks I’d order when I’m skipping caffeine

15 Best non-caffeinated drinks at Dutch Bros

The menu is big enough that narrowing it down can feel awkward, especially if you are staring at the board for the first time.

These are the drinks I end up ordering when I want to keep it simple in the drive-thru.

1. High Dive Lemonade

This refreshing Dutch Bros lemonade lemonade has one of the strongest sweet-tart hits on the menu.

The High Dive Lemonade is the non-caffeinated version of the High Dive Rebel, which is a lemonade infused with pomegranate and peach syrups, mixed with tropical fruit syrup–a unique blend of orange, guava, pineapple, and passion fruit.

I like it on ice when I want something crisp and quick, but I switch to blended when I want it to feel more like a frozen treat.

On a hot day, or after sitting outside too long, it feels more interesting than plain water without being as heavy as a smoothie.

2. Dutch Bros Smoothies

There was a time when smoothies were sold as the sensible choice, the drink people ordered when they wanted fruit without much fun.

Dutch Bros changed that a bit for me. The fruit-forward flavors are still there, but the menu leans sweeter and more dessert-like than I expected.

At Dutch Bros, many smoothies are made with real fruit juice, while others are made with a puree.

The lineup includes peach, mango, green apple, and strawberry.

I still come back to them when I want something easy to drink that skips both caffeine and dairy.

3. Ninja Frost

I may like the Ninja Frost more than some of my family members do.

It was one of the first caffeine-free Dutch Bros drinks that made me stop thinking of the non-coffee menu as an afterthought.

It tastes like mint chocolate chip ice cream, but the white chocolate sauce and whipped cream give it more body and make it feel richer than plain ice cream.

This popular caffeine-free drink combines white chocolate sauce and creme de menthe syrup blended with ice cream to create a shake perfect for people of any age.

4. Orange Creamsicle Soda

This one always pulls me in when summer starts and I want something that feels a little nostalgic.

The Orange Creamsicle Soda drink comes with orange and vanilla syrups mixed with Dutch soda water and two parts of cream.

I like it iced as a soda when I want the sharper, fizzier version, or blended as a frost when I want it to feel more like dessert.

As a frost, I like white chocolate drizzle over the whipped cream because it softens the tart edge and keeps the drink from tasting too sharp.

5. Electric Blue Lemonade

The neon color is part of the appeal, because it looks so bright that it still catches my eye even when I know exactly what it tastes like.

As a kid, I was the sort of person who would have ordered anything bright blue just to see if it tasted as wild as it looked, even if it resembled a science experiment.

Anyway, this lemonade drink is completely safe for consumption, and made with a base of the Dutch Bros signature lemonade, with lime and blue raspberry syrups mixed in.

It is sweet and tangy, with enough sourness to keep the flavor from flattening out.

6. Birthday Cake Dutch Freeze

The Birthday Cake Dutch Freeze feels like one of those drinks people seem to know even when it is not always treated like a standard menu item.

I enjoy this one more than I expected to. It is thick and buttery, with a clear vanilla note that really does remind me of birthday cake instead of plain ice cream.

The few times I have ordered it, the Broista has known what I meant, but I still think of it as an off-menu-style order rather than something every location handles exactly the same way.

I always want whip and birthday sprinkles on top.

7. White Chocolate Frost

I like the White Chocolate Frost more as a base than as a drink on its own.

It really does act like a blank canvas.

Made with vanilla ice cream and white chocolate syrup, topped with whipped cream, it’s sweet without being too saccharine.

For me, the white chocolate starts to feel close to the ice cream base, so I usually add another flavor like kiwi. It gives the drink something sharper to hold onto instead of tasting one-note.

8. German Chocolate Frost

I have always had a soft spot for German chocolate cake, peppermint patties, and chocolate turtles.

The German Chocolate Frost kind of combines all of those flavors into one, with dark chocolate, coconut, and caramel syrups.

This drink already feels rich enough that I usually switch to sugar-free caramel and dark chocolate syrups when I want the chocolate profile without making it feel heavier than it needs to.

I also like ordering it as an iced German Chocolate Mocha, where the ice cream is swapped for chocolate milk. That version feels less frozen and easier to sip slowly, which is what I usually want when I am paying attention to flavor.

With soft top, it gets even richer and starts to feel more like dessert in a cup than a regular drink.

9. Chocolate Milk

Sometimes chocolate milk is just good on its own, especially when I want something cold and simple.

This version tastes a lot better to me than the chocolate milk I used to get in the school cafeteria at lunch. It has a fuller chocolate flavor and does not leave that watery aftertaste behind.

That is why Dutch Bros Chocolate Milk earns a spot on my caffeine-free list.

This is another good base drink if you want to add a little more to it. 1

Caramel, Irish cream, white chocolate, chocolate macadamia nut, and vanilla all work well here, depending on whether you want something brighter or deeper.

10. Dutch Bros Cotton Candy Frost

The Cotton Candy Frost is not something I would order every day or even every week, but it scratches a very specific fair-food itch.

It is made with vanilla ice cream, white chocolate sauce, and blue raspberry syrup.

The flavor combo sounds odd at first, but once the cold base starts melting into the syrup, it settles into something sweeter and smoother than I expected.

It is very sweet, so I usually swap one ingredient for a sugar-free version before it tips too far into candy territory.

11. Vanilla Bean Frost

The Vanilla Bean Frost surprised me because I expected it to be plain vanilla.

The vanilla and chocolate macadamia nut syrups give it more depth, with a nutty note that stands out after a few sips and keeps it from tasting flat.

I usually add whipped cream and caramel drizzle for a little extra richness, especially when I want it to feel less plain.

12. Italian Soda

For some reason, I feel like I see fewer Italian sodas around now.

Luckily, Dutch Bros offers a wide array of these sparkling soda waters infused with just about any flavor under the sun, finished with a bit of cream.

I like to pretend I am ordering one for hydration, but mostly I just want something lighter than most of the other drinks here.

Dutch Bros has enough flavors that I could probably order a different combination every day and still not run out of options.

13. Strawberry Frost

Sometimes I just want something simple and sweet with no extra fuss.

The Strawberry Frost fits that description perfectly, consisting of just ice cream, strawberry syrup, and whipped cream on top.

I like ordering this frost parfait-style with whipped cream so the layers feel a little like strawberries and cream, especially once the top starts to melt into the cold base.

It also seems to be a popular pick for kids, and the sweetness comes more from syrups than from anything heavy or dairy-rich.

14. French Toast Frost

I have gone through enough French toast phases to know why this one keeps pulling me back.

The French Toast Frost is a great alternative, combining brown sugar, cinnamon, white chocolate syrup, and vanilla ice cream blended into perfection.

The French Toast Frost is usually treated like a secret-menu style order, though most Broistas seem to know it already.

I think it tastes a little off with extra customizations or soft top, so I order it with whipped cream instead. That keeps the French toast flavor cleaner and stops the drink from getting muddled.

Last but not least is the Dutch Chocolate Dutch Cocoa. It takes the chocolate milk idea and turns it up by adding more chocolate sauce.

The result is a fuller, bolder chocolate flavor that tastes a little more grown-up to me, almost like the difference between plain cocoa and something richer.

Just like with regular chocolate milk from Dutch Bros, it can also be substituted with any other non-dairy milk.

I usually start with the temperature first, whether I want it hot, iced, or as a frost.

That usually makes the rest of the order easier to hand over in the drive-thru.

I save add-ons like syrup or whip for the end.

For example, “I’d like to order a French Toast Frost with whipped cream and an Iced Electric Blue Lemonade with a soft top and raspberry drizzle”.
