DutchBros

Okay, fellow Dutch Bros lovers, you know the drill! There's something truly magical about walking up to that window and knowing you can craft exactly what you're craving. For a "Dutch Bros girly" like me, trying new custom combinations is half the fun. While I've definitely tried everything on their official menu, the real adventure begins when you start mixing and matching. Why go custom? Well, it's all about making your drink perfectly *you*. Whether you want to boost the energy, enhance a flavor, or just create something entirely unique that isn't on the standard menu, custom orders are the way to go. It’s like having a secret menu where you are the chef! Here's a little guide on how I approach ordering my custom creations and some of my top picks that I think you absolutely have to try: How to Order Your Dream Drink Like a Pro: It's simpler than you think! Start with a base drink (coffee, Rebel, tea, lemonade, frost), then pile on the flavors, add-ons, and toppers. Don't be shy about asking questions – the Broistas are usually super helpful and love to help you find your perfect sip! My Absolute Favorite Custom Creations (You're Welcome!): The "Manifesting Radness" Cookie Freeze (Inspired by My Fave!) This one is pure bliss and totally embodies that "MANIFESTING RADNESS" vibe! It starts with a classic Blended Cookie Freeze. To elevate it, I add coconut and caramel drizzles throughout the cup and on top. For that extra luxurious texture and flavor, I ask for a coconut soft top. And for a little pick-me-up that balances the sweetness beautifully, I always add an extra shot of espresso. It’s rich, creamy, has a delightful texture, and that espresso shot gives it the perfect kick. If you love dessert-like drinks, this is your new go-to! 2. The "Electric Berry Bomb" Rebel When I need a serious energy boost with a burst of fruity flavor, this is my jam. I start with an Electric Berry Rebel, then add a splash of pomegranate and a dash of blue raspberry. To finish it off, a soft top makes it wonderfully creamy and cuts through the tartness. It’s vibrant, refreshing, and definitely packs a punch! 3. The "Snickerdoodle Surprise" Cold Brew Who doesn't love a good snickerdoodle? For this custom creation, I order a Cold Brew with Snickerdoodle flavor. Sometimes, I'll ask for it with a white coffee kicker – it adds a unique, nutty twist that's absolutely divine. It’s sweet, spicy, and perfectly cozy, especially on a chilly morning. 4. The "Fruity Paradise" Lemonade On a hot day, this is my ultimate thirst-quencher. I ask for a Lemonade base and load it up with passion fruit, peach, and strawberry flavors. It’s like a tropical vacation in a cup – super bright, sweet, and tangy all at once. Sometimes, I’ll even get a whipped cream topping for an extra treat! Tips for Crafting Your Own Signature Sip: Experiment with Flavors: Dutch Bros has a huge selection of syrups. Think about your favorite candy, dessert, or fruit combination and see if they have the flavors to match. Ask Your Broista: Seriously, they are the experts! If you describe what you're in the mood for (e.g., "something sweet and fruity" or "a strong coffee that's not too bitter"), they can often suggest amazing combinations. Don't Forget the Toppers: Soft top, whipped cream, drizzles – these can totally transform a drink and add that extra special touch. Consider the Base: Do you want coffee (hot, iced, blended), a Rebel, a tea, or a lemonade? The base sets the stage for your custom masterpiece. Now that I've spilled my favorite custom drink recipes and tips, I'm dying to know: what custom drinks have you made and tried?
