18 Best Dutch Bros lemonade drinks I turn to for something refreshing

1. Palm Beach Lemonade

Palm Beach has one of those names that makes me think of warm weather before I even taste it.

The drink lives up to that beachy name pretty well, with flavors that lean bright and fruity right away.

This flavor combination is the perfect balance of sweet and sour–every sip feels like a party in my mouth.

Palm Beach is very fruity, with peach softening the tart lemonade and pomegranate adding a deeper berry note. The first sip feels sunny without being too sharp, which is why it stays on my list. It is sweet, but not in a way that flattens the citrus.

It sounds a little overhyped on paper, but the balance works for me once I actually drink it.

2. Strawberry Lemonade

Strawberry Lemonade is still the classic for me, especially when I want something simple, sweet, and summery without much thinking involved. It tastes exactly like the kind of order I would make when I want to keep things familiar.

This no-frills drink contains the best of both worlds: the sweet taste of strawberry syrup and Dutch Bros’s tangy signature lemonade. No wonder it’s very popular with kids (and kids at heart).

3. Tiger's Blood

The name Tiger’s Blood sounds dramatic, but there’s nothing strange in it.

The pink-red color is the first thing I notice, and it looks especially good in a clear cup when the ice catches the light.

On top of its attractive color, this beverage has a flavor combo that will blow your mind. It is made with strawberry and coconut syrups, something I don’t see often.

It reminds me a little of a strawberry margarita, just without the alcohol and with a brighter citrus edge.

It sounds unusual at first, but the flavor makes sense once you taste it. The fruitiness is what sticks with me, not the name.

When I’m watching sugar, I usually size down here since a large is listed at 69 grams of sugar.

4. Electric Berry

Electric Berry is the one I reach for when I want something blue, tart, and a little playful.

The lime syrup gives the lemonade more snap than I expected, and it reads fresher than sour overload.

There’s a real zing to this drink from the citrus and then the blue raspberry brings that little fruity something extra to it.

The bright blue color is half the appeal. It looks almost unreal in a cup, especially when I get it over ice.

I usually order it blended when I want something closer to a treat. In that form, a medium has 470 calories and 111 grams of sugar. It feels more like a frozen fruit drink than a plain lemonade.

5. Gem Berry

Gem Berry is one of those Dutch Bros combinations that sounds busy but tastes more coherent than I expected.

This beverage features blackberry syrup, vanilla syrup, and raspberry syrup.

The vanilla syrup sounds out of place until you taste it. It softens the sharper fruit notes and gives the drink a little more body, almost like fruity pie filling with lemonade.

It’s one of the flavors I think about most when I want something sweet without feeling flat.

6. Eclipse

If you want something a little stranger, Eclipse is worth a look.

The peach and blackberry bring a lovely sweetness that blends so well with the bright sour notes of passionfruit, blue raspberry, and lemon.

A kid in my family once called it the alien drink because of the color, and honestly the name fits the look.

The fruit flavors are bright and zippy, which makes it feel different from the more obvious strawberry or peach combinations. It has a sharper edge that keeps it from blending into the sweeter drinks around it.

7. Sweet Sunrise

Sweet Sunrise is the one I order when I want my lemonade on the sweeter side. The syrup mix gives it a fuller flavor than straight citrus, and it lands somewhere between candy-like and fresh.

The peach syrup adds a subtle sweetness, the passion fruit gives it a tangy kick, the orange adds a citrusy twist and the banana adds a creamy undertone that makes it irresistible.

The color always makes me think of a beach cocktail, and blended it gets even closer to that smoothie-like feel.

It works well on a hot day, but I also end up with it when I want something cold and low-effort to sip. It is one of the easier drinks to keep drinking without thinking much about it.

8. Blue Raspberry Lemonade

If the lime in Electric Berry is too sharp for you, Blue Raspberry keeps the same bright look with a softer, sweeter finish.

It’s made with a blend of blue raspberry syrup and fresh lemon juice, creating a sweet and delicious drink that is sure to quench any thirst.

The Blue Raspberry version still gives that bold blue color, and in the sunlight it looks a lot like clear ocean water.

It feels like the easier pick if you want the color without the lime bite.

9. Hawaiian Lemonade

Hawaiian is the one that makes me think most of a vacation drink without being too heavy.

It comes with banana, orange, peach, and strawberry syrups, which is a pretty busy mix on paper but works better than I expected.

I always have to remind myself that I’m not sipping on a cocktail with this one, making it a great option if I’m heading to a BBQ and don’t want to drink.

I was wary of the banana syrup before I tried it, mostly because fake banana flavor has burned me before. This one reads more like a rounded fruit note than that artificial candy taste.

If you like those fruits individually, the combination comes together pretty easily in the glass.

10. Ray of Sunshine Lemonade

Ray of Sunshine is the kind of drink I order when I want something bright enough to change my mood a little.

Blackberry, peach, and grapefruit give it a sharper fruit profile, and that mix feels cleaner than the sweeter lemonades on this list.

The blackberry syrup adds a hint of tartness, the peach syrup gives it a touch of sweetness, and the grapefruit juice adds a citrusy kick that never fails to wake up my taste buds.

I worried the grapefruit would lean too bitter, since I’m not usually a grapefruit fan, but it ended up tasting more balanced than I expected.

It’s one of the easier ones for me to recommend when I want a fruit-forward lemonade with a little edge.

11. Dragon Slayer Lemonade

I’m a fantasy nerd, so Dragon Slayer was going to catch my attention either way.

This drink features all the berries: raspberry and blue raspberry syrups, topped with some blackberry drizzle-tart-y overload, that’s for sure!

The dark purple color stands out immediately, and it has that dramatic, almost storybook look that makes the drink fun before the first sip.

I like the name as much as the flavor. It’s the kind of order that makes the drive-thru feel a little less ordinary.

Blended is the version I’d order when I want it to feel more like a treat.

12. Palm Tree

Palm Tree is one of the more tropical-leaning lemonades on the menu.

This refreshing drink is made with a blend of pomegranate, passion fruit, and lime syrups, creating a unique and delicious flavor that leaves me feeling like I’m lounging on a beach under a palm tree.

It stays fruity without getting cloying, and the passion fruit, lime, and pomegranate keep the sweetness in check.

I always crave tacos and tapas when I start sipping on a Palm Tree.

It usually makes me want a snack on the way home, which says a lot about how bright it tastes.

When I want something that tastes like warmer weather, Palm Tree is one of the first lemonade orders that comes to mind.

13. Hyperchrome Lemonade

Hyperchrome is for days when I want a lemonade flavor that feels a little less expected.

It may sound like an odd blend, but the citrus-ness of the orange and the tanginess of passion fruit and pomegranate makes this drink an exciting flavor combination.

The flavor profile feels playful rather than straightforward, which is part of the appeal.

The name sounds futuristic enough that ordering it feels a little more fun than asking for a plain fruit drink.

14. Galaxy Fish

The Dutch Bros lemonade collection is big enough that it takes time to work through it all.[ 1

After my own little tasting run, Galaxy Fish is the one I’d put high on the list. It has a strong mix of strawberry, lime, and passion fruit that never feels flat.

This flavor combo is the bomb–and I’m not kidding. It’s a fruity explosion in every sip. Super fresh, super fruity, I just can’t get enough!

The name is half the fun, and it always makes me think of something spacey and weird in a good way.

15. Green Tea Lemonade

Some Dutch Bros lemonade flavors can feel a little much if you’re trying to keep sugar down.

Green Tea Lemonade is the one I’d look at first in that case.

This classic drink is pretty straightforward; it only contains green tea and lemonade.

Green tea brings antioxidants here, which is part of the appeal.

Lemons add vitamin C as well.

I ordered this gem often while trying to get into green tea – it may not be the most authentic green tea out there, it is certainly one of the most refreshing forms of it!

I expected the green tea to bring more bitterness, but it stayed lighter than that. The drink reads sweet and easy to sip instead of grassy or harsh, which surprised me the first time I tried it.

16. Aquaberry

If you like watermelon drinks, this one has a bright, candy-like fruit note that stands out quickly.

Aquaberry is one I keep coming back to because the sweet, tart, and tangy parts stay in balance.

The watermelon and kiwi in particular really elevate this exotic combo – this is definitely not a standard Lemonade.

It’s one of my summer regulars, especially when I want something fruity that still tastes lively after a few sips.

The color is a big part of the appeal too. The purple is bright enough that it always catches my eye first.

17. Strawberry Pineapple Lemonade

It looks like it might lean very sour, but the flavor is softer than the first look suggests.

The strawberry and pineapple syrups pull it toward sweeter fruit notes instead of sharp citrus.

That sweeter syrup treatment is what makes it work so well in lemonade for me.

I order Strawberry Pineapple when a regular Strawberry Lemonade feels too plain.

The pineapple just brings that little extra freshness that goes so well with the lemon and strawberry.

It has enough fruit going on to feel fuller, and a large iced version is listed at under 300 calories.

18. High Dive Lemonade

If you like Palm Beach, High Dive feels familiar right away. The main difference is the drizzle.

The drizzle may not seem like a big deal, but it makes a huge splash in the overall taste. 

The High Dive is already full of my favorite tropical flavors with the guava, passion fruit, and pineapple – the drizzle just gives that extra exotic ‘oomph’ I adore.

This one is not available year-round, and some locations don’t carry it. I learned to check the menu first after a few letdowns.

When I spot it on a menu, I tend to order it without overthinking it.
