While Dutch Bros has a massive regular menu, I’m always curious to try their most secret creations.
The West-coast-based chain has been making a splash in the coffee scene since 1992, and while I’ve only been a customer for around 13 years, it’s quickly become my favorite.[1]
I always enjoy surprising my friends with my secret menu selections when we pull up to the drive-through, and I thought I’d share my top 7 Dutch Bros drinks of all time!
7 Insanely Popular Dutch Bros Secret Menu Drinks
When it comes to coffee, the Dutch Bros menu offers a level of creativity that's truly impressive.
The regular drink options range from classic coffees and teas to energizing blended drinks.
However, it's the extensive secret menu where the real ingenuity shines through.
While I still enjoy a regular Americano, it’s drinks like the ‘Dirty Caterpillar’ and ‘Golden Eagle Breve’ that made me fall in love with this chain.
These are my top selections from each type of Dutch Bros Drinks:
Tea Drinks Winner
Electric Berry Green Tea
Electric Berry Green Tea Standard Ingredients
- green tea
- lime Syrup
- blue raspberry syrup
I love the sensation of taking the first sip of a vibrantly flavorful drink, where it feels like my tastebuds have just been electrified.
I feel like that’s where the inspiration for the Electric Berry Green Tea got its name, because it’s like that every single sip.
Not to mention, it as a neon-blue/green color that makes the drink even more addictive.
The green tea base with lime and blue raspberry syrup doesn’t seem like the most obvious concoction, but it’s like a sweeter Warhead drink.
Chai Drinks Winner
Raspberry Vanilla Chai
Raspberry Vanilla Chai Standard Ingredients
- Oregon Chai tea
- Half and Half
- raspberry syrup
- vanilla
Not only do I find the light pink hue of the Raspberry Vanilla Chai to be one of the most beautiful drinks, I also find it to be one of the most mouthwatering.
The RVC is made by combining the Oregon Chai iced tea latte blend with raspberry syrup and vanilla.
For me, it tastes like yogurt and raspberries with cinnamon on top, and I love ordering it sugar-free.
If you’re feelin’ extra fancy, ask for blue raspberry syrup for a gorgeous purple drink!
Barista HQ Tip:
- Substitute the raspberry syrup for strawberry syrup. It tastes just like the Nesquik Strawberry Milk!
Freeze Drinks Winner
Dirty Caterpillar
Dirty Caterpillar Standard Ingredients
- green apple base
- caramel sauce
- Signature soft top
Caramel green apples are one of the most delicious things in the world, but there’s a reason why dentists aren’t a big fan of them.
The Dirty Caterpillar is the perfect accompaniment to any autumn activity, especially when it’s warmer out.
Mixing a green apple base with caramel sauce, it tastes a billion times better than it sounds.
I personally love the flavor of marshmallow with caramel apple, so I’ll ask for it with a soft top (which I think is quite similar in flavor).
Frost Drinks Winner
Bob Marley
Bob Marley Standard Ingredients
- ice cream Milkshake
- coconut syrup
- chocolate sauce
- banana
- Whipped Cream
Out of all the Dutch Bros secret menu items, the Bob Marley is arguably the most popular.
Commonly referred to simply as “The Bob”, this drink is equally decadent as it is “tropical”.
It has a hint of combination of dark chocolate and coconut, perfect for ‘Mounds’ candy fans.
But there is a twist: they add banana.
I always thought the banana flavor was a nod to it being a main export crop in Jamaica, but it turns out it refers to Bob’s likeness appearing on a banana a few years back!
Ask the Barista For:
- Ask for a Bob Marley Frost with Whipped Cream, which is a milkshake made out of ice cream, coconut syrup, chocolate sauce, and banana! The whip on top gives a banana split feel to it.
Rebel Drinks Winner
Double Rainbro Rebel
Double Rainbro Rebel Standard Ingredients
- Dutch Bros' Rebel Energy Drink
- peach Syrup
- strawberry Syrup
- coconut syrup
The Double Rainbro is the legendary flavor combo of peach, strawberry, and coconut syrups.
While this flavor combination can be ordered with any drink on the DB menu, the Double Rainbro Rebel is arguably the best.
The Rebel is the chain’s signature energy drink, and ordering it served on ice or blended completely elevates the traditional energy drink experience of just cracking open a can.
If I’m feeling a little extra indulgent, I like to ask for a soft top or whipped cream!
Barista HQ Tip:
- I like drinking my Double Rainbro Rebel before working out, so I order mine sugar-free. It’s perfect to drink while watching carbs, calories, and sugars.
Breve Drinks Winner
Golden Eagle Breve
Golden Eagle Breve Standard Ingredients
- espresso
- breve
- vanilla
- caramel syrup
- caramel drizzle
The Dutch Bros Golden Eagle Breve has landed!
I’m a huge fan or caramel macchiatos, and this is the Dutch Bros (dare I say ‘improved’?) version of the classic coffee drink.
With an expertly-crafted mixture of breve, vanilla and caramel syrups with espresso, and caramel drizzle, it’s unbeatable for caramel lovers.
The Golden Eagle Breve can be ordered blended, iced, or toasted, but I prefer the latter two.
Ask the Barista For:
Mocha Drinks Winner
The Grasshopper Mocha
The Grasshopper Mocha Standard Ingredients
- espresso
- creme de menthe syrup
- dark chocolate sauce
- whipped cream
The Grasshopper is a classic cocktail that’s been around for well over a century, and I think the Grasshopper Mocha from Dutch Bros deserves just as much respect.
With espresso, creme de menthe syrup, dark chocolate sauce, and whipped cream, it’s my go-to when I have a craving for the Girl Scouts Thin Mints!
The earthy, well-rounded flavor of the dark chocolate is contrasted by the sharp and refreshing mint.
This delicious drink can be enjoyed blended, iced, or toasted (hot), and my favorites are the latter two.
Ask the Barista For:
- Ask for a Grasshopper Mocha Picture-Perfect. The Broista will drizzle chocolate and caramel sauce around the cup and top it off with whip and more sauce!

The chain does creativity and customization best, and their secret menu exemplifies these traits wonderfully.
I personally love the Laser Cat Rebel and Golden Eagle Breve, even though they’re so different from each other.
The Laser Cat Rebel is energizing, refreshing, and fruity while the Golden Eagle is decadent and tastes like dessert.
