The 21 Best Dutch Bros Rebel Energy Drink Flavors

1. Shark Attack

Shark Attack is one of many tropical fruit flavors of Dutch Bros Rebels. It incorporates zesty lime, pomegranate and blue raspberry with delicious coconut.

The result when combining these colorful flavorings is a wildly photogenic drink with layers of color that show up beautifully on camera. This one gets our vote for anyone who wants a drink that they can post on their Instagram story!

2. Unicorn Blood

Not all Dutch Bros Rebels are fruity, and this one combines an unusual group of flavors: strawberry, white chocolate and almond. That may not sound like an appetizing combination in an energy drink, but Dutch Bros fans swear by this flavor.

The white chocolate and almond flavors add dimension to the tart, fruity flavor you’d expect from an energy drink. This appealing pink blend, made with strawberry base, almond syrup and white chocolate sauce, looks as good as fans say it tastes.

If you’re not too worried about the sugar content (which is already through the roof), add whipped cream to complete the experience.

3. Poppin’ Boba Fire Lizard Rebel

This neon-orange Dutch Bros Rebel is becoming one of the most beloved flavors at the quirky coffee chain. It consists of orange, banana and strawberry flavors, but what really makes this Rebel from Dutch Bros is the popping boba.

If you’ve never had it, popping boba isn’t quite like the black tapioca boba you’ve probably seen or tasted before. Instead, they’re brightly-colored balls of fruit juice without the chewiness of tapioca. This blended Dutch Bros Rebel uses strawberry popping boba for an extra burst of flavor. 

Bright and fruity, this tropical-inspired Dutch Bros Rebel is a perfect morning pick-me-up for those days you spend your commute thinking you’d rather be on a beach somewhere.

4. Dinosaur Egg  

Stay with us, because this Dutch Bros Rebel isn’t as odd as it sounds. Blue raspberry, strawberry, almond and white chocolate? You’ll have to trust us, and the legions of Dutch Bros fans who have made this bold flavor their go-to.

The verdict is in, and even though less is usually more, this is one instance where it’s not a bad thing to have a lot going on. 

Dinosaur Egg is one of those drinks that offers a bit of everything: it’s sweet, tart, creamy and light at the same time. If you like your colors neon and your flavors complex, this might be the Dutch Bros Rebel flavor you end up liking most.

5. Vampire Slayer

Don’t worry: in spite of its name, this Dutch Bros Rebel flavor has nothing to do with garlic. Instead, it’s a pomegranate and strawberry blend that fans love for its sweet-tart balance and intense red flavor.

Although it was originally released as a special Halloween flavor, the Vampire Slayer was so loved by fans that it’s now a permanent menu item. This is a great flavor to order blended because the fruit syrups make it taste like an Icee. 

While it was an autumn flavor at its inception, a blended Vampire Slayer makes a great cool-down treat in the summer when you’re in the mood for something ice-cold and refreshing.

6. Laser Cat 

Why “Laser Cat”? The world may never know where this Dutch Bros Rebel got its name. Even so, the surprisingly simple Laser Cat Rebel has become one of the chain’s best-selling flavors. The flavors — raspberry and coconut — are simple and delicious. 

There are more than a few unusual flavor combinations in the Dutch Bros Rebels lineup, so the Laser Cat is right at home. But what may surprise you is how well the earthy sweetness of coconut and the tartness of raspberry harmonize in this quirky Dutch Bros creation.

7. Pink Flamingo   

As the name suggests, think pink. This delicious Dutch Bros Rebel takes not one but two pink flavors from nature and throws in a dash of white chocolate — perhaps in an attempt to usurp the infamous Starbucks Pink Drink. Who can say?

Whether or not the Pink Flamingo Rebel succeeds in that coup d’etat is up to you to decide. Regardless, the combined flavors of strawberry, peach and white chocolate create the sweet-tart contrast that makes Dutch Bros Rebels so satisfying. 

A little tartness from the strawberries offsets the subtle sweetness of the peach and the sugar shock of the white chocolate, and the three come together beautifully.

8. Aquaberry 

Jolly Rancher in a cup? Sure enough, Dutch Bros has a Rebel for that, too. If you were a child of the 1990s or Aughts, you might find the flavors of this Dutch Bros Rebel familiar. 

Although the inspiration may lie elsewhere, this flavor takes several classic Jolly Rancher flavors — blue raspberry, apple and watermelon — and adds strawberry and kiwi (Capri-Sun, anyone?) for a nostalgic electric-blue drink that’ll take you back to your elementary school summer vacations. There’s nary a childhood flavor that Dutch Bros doesn’t pack into this fan-favorite Rebel!

9. Double Rainbro

Coconut, peach and strawberry: if you really wish it were a summer morning at the beach, this is your Rebel. Although the drink’s name is a pun on the name of the franchise, it also evokes a laid-back surfer vibe that suits the drink in question perfectly. 

One sip of this Dutch Bros Rebel and you’ll be sunbathing on the sand, slathered in coconut oil and holding a fruity cocktail. Not a bad place to find yourself on an ordinary day.

10. Stop Light

Calling something “Stop Light” conjures up images of a very particular color scheme, and that’s exactly what you’ll get in this Dutch Bros Rebel. However, that’s only in the flavors: pomegranate, kiwi and passion fruit satisfy the red-green-yellow requirement, but the drink itself is orange. 

Don’t let this detract you from your enjoyment of one of Dutch Bros’ best flavor combinations, though. You might not have thought to combine pomegranate, kiwi and passion fruit, but the sweet-tartness of all three flavors balances brilliantly, making this one of the most enjoyable fruit-based Rebel flavors Dutch Bros currently offers.

11. Galaxy Fish 

With strawberry, lime and passion fruit flavors, Galaxy Fish is another Dutch Bros Rebel that adheres to the traffic-light method of fruit selection: one red, one green and one yellow.

Unlike the Stop Light, though, this drink leans a little more into the sweet-tart contrast, and the result is something we all probably would’ve begged for at the supermarket if it existed when we were kids.

There’s something deeply satisfying about contrasts done well, which is likely why this Dutch Bros Rebel continues to amass loyal fans.

12. Gummy Bear 

Dutch Bros doesn’t shy away from quirky flavors. From the endlessly customizable Rebels menu with its unusual flavor combinations to the countless extras on the Dutch Bros secret menu, there are quite a few interesting new creations in the mix. This is one that might strike you as strange: how can you make an energy drink taste anything like a gummy bear? 

Well, you start with lime, kiwi and white chocolate. And then, iced or blended, you let the resulting drink speak for itself. Connoisseurs claim that it tastes more like key lime pie, but they love it all the same. 

A word of warning, though: Dutch Bros has two Rebel flavors with similar names. The Gummy Bear is this green kiwi-lime flavor, and there is also a completely different drink on the secret menu called the OG Gummy Bear. Many customers trying to order one version end up getting the other by mistake. In order to avoid confusion, it’s best to specify that you’d like “the green one” when ordering a Gummy Bear Rebel.

13. Aftershock 

We can’t say whether this drink will deliver the violent caffeine jolt its name implies, but it certainly offers an interesting flavor profile. Combining strawberry, raspberry and blackberry, the Aftershock gets in just about every berry flavor Dutch Bros offers, and it's finished with a hit of lime. The result? All that tangy sweetness, cut by the tartness of lime, explodes in your mouth.

Sometimes, you want an energy drink that makes you feel like sleep is a distant memory you’ll never know again. If it’s one of those days, the intensely flavorful fruitiness of this drink will aid in delivering the caffeine punch you’re looking for. Aftershock, indeed.

14. Starry Night 

One of the most aesthetically pleasing Dutch Bros Rebels has to be this dark blue drink that combines blue raspberry and blackberry flavors. The result is the best approximation you’ll ever find of the night sky in a cup, and its intense sweetness makes it stand out from other Rebels flavors as well. 

Starry Night is also a rare Dutch Bros Rebel that doesn’t incorporate anything red. Novel as that is, if you’re looking for a break from flavors that fall anywhere on the strawberry-watermelon-pomegranate spectrum of vaguely reddish fruits, this is a unique offering among Dutch Bros’ current flavors.

15. Ray of Sunshine

As you might guess, Ray of Sunshine is a sweet and bright Rebel flavor featuring blackberry, peach and — somewhat unusually — grapefruit. The resulting drink is a lovely pinkish-orange color that really does look like a sunrise.

Grapefruit is a tricky flavor to work with: it’s quite bitter and doesn’t always play well with others, so to speak. But in this case, the gentleness of peach and the boldness of blackberry give it the lift it needs to add a much-needed note of sourness to this delicious Dutch Bros Rebel.

16. Palm Tree

Tropical and beach imagery shows up again and again in the Dutch Bros Rebel lineup. This time, we have the Palm Tree, featuring pomegranate, passion fruit and lime. 

Although you may be wondering why on earth something called Palm Tree doesn’t have coconut in it, the tropical theme nevertheless gets across. This golden-yellow drink has tart flavors that’ll wake you up in a few sips, and that makes it great for a quick pick-me-up.

17. Hawaiian 

Dutch Bros takes on the classic Hawaiian punch and succeeds with this drink. As you might expect, it incorporates banana, orange, peach and strawberry, all bright and summery flavors that’ll remind you of days spent lounging on the beach. 

Oh, and one other thing? All Dutch Bros Rebels are customizable, and we’ll make a rare recommendation for customizing this one: add passionfruit. It’s a quintessential Hawaiian flavor (better known as lilikoi) and will add a lovely note of tartness to this uber-sweet drink, as well as a true Hawaiian shave ice feel.

18. Astronaut 

We’ll refrain from cheesy “out-of-this-world” puns about this space-inspired drink, but it does have its fans. Using raspberry, blackberry and almond to recreate the deep blue vastness of space in your 16-ounce cup, this Dutch Bros Rebel is a chiller and less in-your-face alternative to many of the brighter and more fruity flavors you might otherwise order. 

19. Peach  

Sometimes the very simplest Dutch Bros Rebels are some of the most successful, and this is a perfect example of that: all that’s in this drink is peach flavor. Whether you get it iced or blended, there will be nothing to compete with the sweet peach base, and sometimes, that’s exactly what you want. 

If you don’t want to do the guesswork of picking a flavor blend that you may or may not like, it’s always okay to play it safe. There’s a reason this Dutch Bros Rebel is so beloved, and you’ll be happy that you knew exactly what you were getting into.

20. Sweet Sunrise 

We’re happy to confirm that this one lives up to its name: peach, banana, orange and passion fruit make for a delightfully orange drink. They also make for an agreeable fruit punch flavor that never gets old. If you’re looking for a reliable Dutch Bros Rebel that offers lots of sweetness and few surprises, this flavor is exactly what you need.

21. Dragon Slayer 

To end on a more forceful note, this boldly-named Dutch Bros Rebel is a widespread fan favorite. Raspberry, blue raspberry and blackberry flavors make an excellent companion on your journey to slay that…erm…spreadsheet. Or midterm. Or…you get the point. 

The heady combination of berry flavors cuts through brain fog with ease, and you may find that this is one of the best Dutch Bros Rebels on nights when you just can’t see how you’re going to keep your eyes open until your work is done. We ride at dawn! 

How Much Caffeine Is in a Dutch Bros Rebel?

You’re probably ordering a Dutch Bros Rebel for the caffeine, so you’ll no doubt wonder how much of the stuff is actually in it. That will depend on the flavor and the size you order, but generally, this is the caffeine breakdown:  

  • Small: 80 milligrams 
  • Medium: 114 milligrams 
  • Large: 160 milligrams

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that adults consume no more than 400 milligrams of caffeine a day, so Dutch Bros Rebels actually aren’t as high in caffeine as you might assume. While you’ll definitely get your perk, they probably won’t make your heart pound!

How Much Sugar Is in a Dutch Bros Rebel?

Even if Dutch Bros Rebels come in well under the daily limit on caffeine, there’s something else to be wary of: sugar content.

The FDA recommends no more than 50 grams of sugar per day for adults. The American Heart Association goes even further, recommending no more than 25 grams of sugar per day for women and 36 grams per day for men.

With a medium Dutch Bros Rebel packing a whopping 97 grams of sugar on average —  almost double these recommendations at a minimum to almost quadruple at a maximum — these energy drinks should definitely be considered a once-in-a-while treat.

While there is no set amount of sugar for each size Rebel, like there is with caffeine, due to the additions of different flavors and syrups, assume you will be getting around 100 grams of sugar for a medium drink, even more for a large and only slightly less for a small.

If you’re watching your sugar intake, you may want to opt for the sugar-free versions. If not, just be warned that your Dutch Bros Rebel is not among the healthiest energy drinks and might hit you with a sugar rush along with your caffeine high.

Does Dutch Bros Have Sugar Free Rebels?

Yes, you can get sugar-free Dutch Bros Rebels. In fact, many of the most popular flavors, including those covered on this list, like Shark Attack and Double Rainbro, can be made sugar-free. Just check that any flavors and syrups added are sugar-free, and you're good to go.

What Energy Drink Does Dutch Bros Use in Their Rebels? 

This is where it gets a bit confusing: actually, Dutch Bros Rebels are made with a brand-specific energy drink base of the same name. The name “Dutch Bros Rebels” can refer either to the Dutch Bros Rebel energy drink that’s used to make the in-store blended drinks or to the customizable iced drinks you can order to go.

There are a million ways to get a caffeine hit these days, but few of them are as versatile or exciting as the best Dutch Bros Rebel energy drinks. With countless customization options, you could try new Dutch Bros Rebel flavors every day for weeks, and there’s a flavor for just about every preference. 

So if you’ve been hankering for a new alternative to coffee, why not try a Rebel from Dutch Bros next time you’re in need of a caffeine hit?
