6 Best Dutch Bros chai drinks I’d happily order again

Golden Eagle Chai

The Golden Eagle Chai is one of the most popular chai tea drinks on the Dutch Bros menu , and I can see why I keep coming back to it.

This was my first ever order at Dutch Bros and sipping on an iced GE Chai always makes me nostalgic (shoutout to the kind broista who recommended it to me!)

It combines chai tea packets, breve or half-and-half, vanilla syrup, caramel syrup, and caramel drizzle. On the menu, that gives the drink a richer, sweeter finish than a standard tea-based order.

The caramel and vanilla smooth out the spices instead of burying them, so the drink still tastes like chai, just rounder and sweeter. Hot, it feels cozy; iced, it reads a little brighter and less heavy.

In terms of nutritional value, this version is listed with between 4 and 8 grams of protein.

Christmas Morning Chai

With the Christmas Morning Chai, I get why people say it feels like Christmas morning every day. The chai, breve, and white chocolate syrup make it thick, sweet, and a little dessert-like.

The white chocolate softens the spice in a way I really like, and the drink finishes smoother than I expected.

Since becoming lactose-intolerant, I’ve especially loved subbing in oat milk for an even creamier drink that reminds me of spiced oat cookies at grandma’s.

I like it with soft top or whip because that extra layer makes it feel closer to spice cake with ice cream.

If you order the Christmas Morning Chai, just expect a sugar buzz, at least in my cup. This delicious beverage has 78 grams of sugar per large serving .

White Zombie Chai

I keep coming back to the White Zombie Chai. If I want something in the same sweet lane as the Vanilla Chai and Christmas Morning Chai, this is usually the one that lands best for me.

The white chocolate sauce and vanilla syrup take the edge off the chai spices, so the drink ends up sweeter without losing all of the tea flavor. That balance is what makes it work for me when I want sweet, not flat.

I can wake myself up from a dead sleep with a cup of White Zombie Chai – especially when I add oat milk and a shot of Dutch Bros white coffee !

In terms of nutrition, the large White Zombie Chai has 12 grams of protein.

Vanilla Chai

The Dutch Bros Vanilla Chai is the one I reach for when I want a straightforward chai without a lot of extras.

The vanilla and chai spices work together in a creamy way that feels familiar right away, almost like the drink has nothing to prove.

If you are watching your sugar intake, the large has a whopping 88 grams of sugar . I usually cut that down by asking for sugar-free vanilla syrup instead.

I love the soft sweetness of the Vanilla Chai as well as its soft color. It was one of the first things I ordered at DB and I have never looked back!

That’s why I end up ordering this DB Chai more often than I expected.

It tastes great iced, but I usually want it hot. Warmed up, the chai feels softer and cozier, which suits an afternoon slump better for me.

White Chocolate Chai Latte

Besides being a mouthful to say, the White Chocolate Chai Latte is a good bridge drink if you like latte-style texture but want to move toward tea-based drinks.

I prefer getting it with oat milk as I think the earthy creaminess really uplifts the white chocolate – almost like a fancy overnight oats situation!

This is one of those drinks I end up reaching for in the afternoon when I want something sweeter than plain chai.

I usually like the iced version with whipped cream and drizzle, and soft top makes it feel even more like a treat when I want to slow down.

This large chai tea latte has 10 grams of protein .

Dutch Bros Horchata Chai (Secret menu)

If you’ve already worked through the Dutch Bros Chai options and still want something a little different, this secret menu recipe is worth a look.

The Horchata Chai is a modern twist on the classic Horchata, which normally consists of rice milk, almonds, and a sweetener.

You can use any milk you want here, which is where the drink changes most for me. I usually lean toward oat milk, but almond milk gives the horchata-inspired flavors a lighter, cleaner finish and keeps the drink from feeling too heavy.
