Dutch Bros New Fall Drinks 🎃☕️

Okay, so you saw my initial reaction to the new Dutch Bros fall drinks, and yeah, my partner did nearly finish theirs before I could get a proper shot! (Seriously, it was mostly whipped cream left, which, let's be honest, is still delicious). But that just proves how irresistible these new seasonal sips are. Since you're here, let me spill all the tea (or, well, coffee and energy drink) on why these are absolutely worth a drive-thru visit this autumn. First up, that Candied Cherry Rebel... Wow. A 14/10 is no joke! For those who've never tried a Rebel, it's Dutch Bros' signature energy drink, and this cherry version is a game-changer. It's not just sweet; there's a vibrant, slightly tart cherry flavor that tastes like autumn in a cup, but with a serious kick to get you going. If you're wondering what makes it 'candied,' imagine that perfectly glazed, slightly syrupy sweetness you get from candied fruit, but in liquid form. It avoids being overly artificial, which is a big win for me. I usually get mine iced, but I've heard some people love it blended for a slushie-like experience. Have you tried adding a soft top? It adds an extra layer of creamy goodness! Then there's the Cookie Butter Latte. Oh. My. Goodness. A 12/10 for a reason! It’s everything you love about those spiced, buttery cookies, melted into a warm, comforting latte. It's perfectly balanced – not too sweet, with just the right amount of spice that screams 'fall.' It’s like a hug in a mug. For those wondering, 'does Dutch Bros Cookie Butter have nuts?' – this is super important! While the name implies cookies, which can contain nuts, and cookie butter itself is often made from speculoos cookies (which traditionally contain wheat flour, spices, and sometimes nuts or nut-based ingredients like soy lecithin), it's always best to check directly with the Dutch Bros staff at your local stand if you have any allergies or dietary concerns. They are usually very knowledgeable and can provide the most accurate, up-to-date ingredient information for their specific products. Safety first, always! Now, let's talk about something else that often gets overlooked but can seriously elevate your Dutch Bros experience: their pastries! While my review focused solely on drinks, don't sleep on their baked goods. Depending on your location, you might find a rotating selection of muffins, scones, or even individually wrapped cookies. I'm a huge fan of pairing a warm muffin (blueberry or chocolate chip if they have it!) with my Cookie Butter Latte. The soft texture and slight sweetness of a pastry really complement the rich, spiced notes of the latte. And imagine a classic chocolate chip cookie alongside that zesty Candied Cherry Rebel – a perfect sweet and tangy combo. It’s definitely worth asking about their current pastry offerings next time you visit. So, if you're looking for new fall favorites, you absolutely need to add the Candied Cherry Rebel and the Cookie Butter Latte to your list. And while you're at it, grab a pastry! I'd love to hear what you think. What's your go-to Dutch Bros fall order?
