6 Dutch Bros summer drinks I order to cool down

6 Best summer drinks at Dutch Bros

1. Dutch Bros' High Dive

The High Dive Rebel leans bright and fruity right away. This summer drink features peach and pomegranate flavors with chunks of guava, orange, pineapple, and passion fruit.

The tropical fruit drizzle pushes it even further in that direction, and that was the first thing I noticed when I tasted it.

That tracks with my own reaction to it on a hot day. According to Listel Bjorck, senior product manager at Dutch Bros, “the High Dive Rebel is the perfect complement to sunny days and any summer adventure.”

While this summer drink is mainly promoted as a High Dive Rebel beverage, you can also order it as a High Dive Lemonade.

In practical terms, you can get that tropical flavor base with either the Rebel energy drink or a lemonade version, depending on whether you want caffeine in the mix.

You can also order it iced or blended, and the blended version reads more like a fruit slushie than a straight drink.

Blended with lemonade, pineapple, pomegranate, orange, peach, guava, and passion fruit, it ends up tasting like a busy but very summer-like smoothie.

2. Dutch Bros Cookie Dough Drink

If I want something cold with caffeine, this is the kind of drink that gets my attention fast.

The Cookie Dough is made with cold brew, chocolate milk, and chocolate cookie dough flavor, then topped with Dutch Bros’ signature soft top and chocolate sprinkles.

You can even ask for a nitro cold brew instead of the regular one for an energy boost.

At first glance, it looks like it could go overboard on sweetness, especially with that much chocolate.

Once I tasted it, the cold brew kept it from becoming straight dessert. What came through most was a bittersweet chocolate flavor with a little coffee bite underneath.

3. Dutch Bros' Campout

If fruity drinks are not really your thing, this one goes in the opposite direction.

The Campout cold brew is a good switch when I want something roasty and less fruity. Like the Cookie Dough, it can be ordered with the Nitro cold brew or the regular version.

The name gives away the flavor idea pretty well. I expected chocolate, toast, and a little marshmallow sweetness.

The drink comes with a cold brew (duh!), chocolate milk, toasted marshmallow flavor, and some soft top sweet topping, plus some chocolate drizzle.

It is not a new menu item, but it still shows up as one of the drinks people keep coming back to in summer.

If you want a blended version, you can order a Campout Mocha Freeze instead. It’s essentially the same, topped with a soft top and chocolate drizzle.

The combination works well enough that I understand why it hangs around. The marshmallow and chocolate notes are what stayed with me most.

4. Dutch Bros Cold Brew

If hot drinks lose their appeal in summer, a good Dutch Bros iced coffee drink is usually where I end up.

I usually reach for cold brew rather than iced coffee here, because it is brewed slowly over a long period in cold water.

That process often gives it a stronger caffeine hit than regular brewed coffee, though the exact amount depends on the recipe and serving size. At Dutch Bros, you can get different cold brew flavors for different moods.

I prefer plain cold brew, but you can customize your beverage however you like it. Do you like a sweet taste? Adding some caramel or vanilla syrups can make this one even more delectable.

A soft top makes it sweeter and heavier, and a drizzle of chocolate or caramel pushes it further into dessert territory.

5. Dutch Bros Mangonada Rebel

Mango and beach weather always feel tied together to me, but I do not need an actual beach trip to want that flavor.

I usually want that mango note to stay bright instead of turning flat or overly sweet.

With Dutch Bros Mangonada Rebel, you experience tropical paradise wherever you are.

It is made with a Rebel energy drink, mango flavor, strawberry fruit, and Tajin on top.

The Tajin is the part that changes it most, because the chili lime seasoning adds a salty, tangy bite instead of just more sweetness. That twist makes it stand out from a standard fruit Rebel.

The Tajin is surprisingly the best addition to this Rebel drink. The best part? You can get a blended version, which makes this beverage even more refreshing.

6. Dutch Bros Blended Orangesicle Rebel

The Blended Orangesicle Rebel sounded risky to me at first.

This summer beverage features a Rebel energy drink with orange and vanilla flavors and is finished with a soft top.

I expected the orange and cream idea to feel clumsy, but it ended up tasting more like a frozen orange creamsicle than a random mix.

If you find it too sweet for your liking, you can check out all the Dutch Bros Rebel flavored drinks to find the perfect one.

Conclusion - Beat the heat this summer!

That is the summer lineup I would start with. If I had to pick one, I would still go back to the High Dive Rebel first.

That said, the High Dive Rebel is still the one I come back to most.

The fruit keeps it bright, and the Rebel base gives it the lift I want when the day feels long.

Cold brews work fine in summer, but I usually end up choosing a Rebel when I want something sharper and more fruit-forward.

If coffee matters more than fruit, the Campout is the one I would grab.
