Dutch Bros Rebel Recipe

This homemade Dutch Bros Rebel Recipe is a quick way to enjoy that sweet, fruity, and fizzy coffee-shop favorite right at home. All you need is a cold energy drink, flavored syrup, ice, and a few minutes to mix it together. I’ve learned that starting with less syrup gives you the best balance without making the drink overly sweet. Once you get the flavor just right, it’s easy to customize with your favorite fruity combinations.

  • 1 12 fl oz Red Bull or similar energy drink
  • 1 tablespoon blue raspberry syrup
  • 1 tablespoon strawberry syrup
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • 1½ cups ice cubes
  • 2 –3 strawberry slices optional
  • 1 lime wedge optional

Equipment

  • Large drinking glass, about 20–24 ounces
  • Tablespoon
  • Teaspoon
  • Long spoon or reusable straw
  • Small citrus juicer, optional
  • Measuring cup for the ice

Method
 

Step 1: Fill the Glass With Ice
  1. Fill a large glass about three-quarters full with ice, leaving enough room for the syrups and energy drink. Plenty of ice keeps your homemade Dutch Bros Rebel cold and refreshing.

Step 4: Pour in the Energy Drink
  1. Slowly pour the chilled energy drink into the glass to preserve its carbonation. Using a cold drink also helps keep the ice from melting too quickly.

Notes

The exact calories will depend on the energy drink and flavored syrups you use. I usually start with a little less syrup, taste the drink, and add more only if needed. This keeps the fruity flavors bright without making the Rebel overly sweet. You can also use sugar-free ingredients if you want to reduce the overall sugar and calories.
