Method
 

Prepare Your Glass
  1. Start with a 20-24 oz cup or glass. If you want the authentic Dutch Bros experience, use a clear plastic cup with a dome lid. Fill your cup about halfway with ice cubes. Use larger ice cubes as they melt slower and won't dilute your drink as quickly.
Add Your Flavor Syrups
  1. Depending on which Dutch Bros rebel recipe variation you're making, add the appropriate flavored syrups. Measure carefully – the ratio of syrups is crucial for achieving that authentic taste profile. Invest in pump dispensers for your syrup bottles (each pump is typically about 0.5 oz).
Pour the Energy Drink
  1. Slowly pour your energy drink over the ice and syrups. Pour at an angle to minimize foaming. For an authentic experience, use the Rebel energy drink from Dutch Bros if you can find it, but any sugar-free energy drink works well as a substitute.
Mix Thoroughly
  1. Use a long spoon or straw to stir everything together, making sure the syrups are fully incorporated. For extra mixing power, put a lid on and give it a gentle shake (holding the lid securely). This ensures the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the drink.
Customize and Garnish
  1. Add any extras like cream, milk alternatives, or garnishes. For the Electric Berry, a splash of half-and-half creates that signature lavender color. For fruity rebels, consider a fresh fruit garnish or a colorful straw to enhance the presentation.
