Dutch Bros 9-1-1 Drink Guide: Caffeine, Calories & Ingredients
The Dutch Bros 9-1-1 is an Irish cream breve built around a six-shot espresso base. The important detail is that it does not have one universal caffeine number: Dutch Bros currently lists about 290 mg for the standard hot and iced versions, while the blended 9-1-1 changes by size from about 250 mg to 440 mg.
Checked September 17, 2026: this guide uses current Dutch Bros menu and nutrition information. Caffeine is approximate, and customizations can change the finished drink. For broader comparisons, see the Dutch Bros iced coffee caffeine chart. For full nutrition beyond calories and sugar, use the Dutch Bros Nutrition Menu.
What Is in a Dutch Bros 9-1-1?
Dutch Bros describes the 9-1-1 as a drink made with six shots of espresso, half-and-half, and Irish cream. The current iced menu page calls it a six-shot espresso and Irish cream breve.
- Espresso: six shots in the standard 9-1-1 description.
- Half-and-half: the breve base.
- Irish cream: the included flavor.
The six-shot description is supported by Dutch Bros. What should not be done is multiplying an assumed caffeine amount per shot to create a finished-drink total. Dutch Bros publishes caffeine for the finished standard drink, and those values vary by preparation.
Dutch Bros 9-1-1 Caffeine by Preparation and Size
Caffeine can vary by size and preparation. The current nutrition guide lists the standard hot and iced 9-1-1 at approximately 290 mg across small, medium, and large. The blended version changes substantially by size.
| 9-1-1 preparation | Small | Medium | Large |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hot | 290 mg | 290 mg | 290 mg |
| Iced | 290 mg | 290 mg | 290 mg |
| Blended | 250 mg | 345 mg | 440 mg |
Dutch Bros labels caffeine as an approximate value. These numbers apply to the standard configurations shown in its nutrition guide and should not be treated as guaranteed values for customized drinks.
Why the old 462 mg claim was removed
The previous version of this page estimated caffeine by assigning roughly 77–80 mg to each espresso shot and multiplying by six. That produced a 462 mg figure for a medium 9-1-1. The current Dutch Bros finished-drink data does not support that as the standard medium hot or iced value, so the calculation has been removed.
The 440 mg figure does appear in current Dutch Bros data, but it belongs to the large blended 9-1-1, not the standard iced drink.
9-1-1 Calories and Sugar
Calories and sugar also change with preparation and size. A single “medium 9-1-1 nutrition” number can be misleading unless the preparation is named.
| Preparation | Size | Calories | Sugar | Caffeine |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hot | Small | 350 | 50 g | 290 mg |
| Hot | Medium | 490 | 54 g | 290 mg |
| Hot | Large | 630 | 58 g | 290 mg |
| Iced | Small | 280 | 48 g | 290 mg |
| Iced | Medium | 350 | 50 g | 290 mg |
| Iced | Large | 490 | 54 g | 290 mg |
| Blended | Small | 420 | 68 g | 250 mg |
| Blended | Medium | 620 | 96 g | 345 mg |
| Blended | Large | 820 | 124 g | 440 mg |
These are standard-menu values. Milk changes, flavor changes, toppings, sweetness adjustments, or espresso changes can alter the result. The full nutrition guide on this site is the better place to compare fat, carbs, protein, sodium, allergens, and other nutrients.
Hot vs Iced vs Blended 9-1-1
The drink name stays the same, but preparation matters. Hot and iced standard 9-1-1 rows currently share the same approximate caffeine value, while the blended version has a different size-based caffeine pattern and higher calories and sugar at medium and large sizes.
| Version | What changes most |
|---|---|
| Hot | Standard hot nutrition row; about 290 mg caffeine across listed sizes. |
| Iced | Standard iced nutrition row; about 290 mg caffeine across listed sizes, with fewer calories than the corresponding hot sizes. |
| Blended | Caffeine, calories, and sugar all rise with size; large reaches about 440 mg caffeine. |
What Sizes Does the 9-1-1 Come In?
Dutch Bros lists small, medium, and large for the standard hot, iced, and blended nutrition rows. The current live iced and blended 9-1-1 menu pages show Small 16 oz, Medium 24 oz, and Large 32 oz.
Because cup sizing can be presented differently by preparation, this page does not apply the iced/blended ounce labels to the hot version unless Dutch Bros publishes that exact hot listing.
How Much Does a Dutch Bros 9-1-1 Cost?
There is no reliable national 9-1-1 price that should be presented as current for every shop. Dutch Bros states that pricing varies by state and region.
- Open the Dutch Bros app or Order Ahead menu.
- Select the shop where you plan to order.
- Open the 9-1-1 and choose the preparation and size.
- Use the displayed local price before checkout.
The old fixed price ranges and “typical medium price” on this page were removed because they were not tied to a current location and date.
How Can You Customize a 9-1-1?
The current iced 9-1-1 menu includes controls for milk, espresso options, included and additional flavors, sweetness, toppings or mix-ins, and ice. The exact available choices can depend on the shop and preparation.
- Sugar-free flavor: Dutch Bros says its Dutch Faves, including the 9-1-1, can be made with sugar-free syrups and sauces. Sugar-free Irish cream is one of the listed flavors.
- Milk choice: the live iced menu includes milk customization. Dutch Bros also lists almond, oat, and coconut milk as plant-based options.
- Espresso options: espresso drinks can be made with decaffeinated espresso, but the nutrition of a customized 9-1-1 should not be calculated from an assumed per-shot number.
- Toppings and flavors: extra flavors, Soft Top, whipped cream, sweet cream, and other mix-ins may be available. These can change calories, sugar, and other nutrition values.
For flavor availability, see the Dutch Bros sugar-free flavors guide.
What About the Zero Sugar Added 9-1-1?
Dutch Bros publishes separate 9-1-1 Zero Sugar Added nutrition rows. “Zero Sugar Added” does not mean the finished drink contains zero grams of sugar.
| Zero Sugar Added — Iced | Calories | Sugar | Caffeine |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 70 | 2 g | 289 mg |
| Medium | 210 | 6 g | 289 mg |
| Large | 350 | 10 g | 288 mg |
This is a separate configuration from the standard iced 9-1-1, so its numbers should not be mixed into the standard table.
Can You Make a 9-1-1 at Home?
A copycat version can be useful when you want to control the espresso, milk, and sweetness yourself. The separate Dutch Bros 9-1-1 recipe covers the at-home method, while this page stays focused on the current menu drink.
How to Check the Current 9-1-1 Before Ordering
- Match the preparation: hot, iced, or blended.
- Match the size.
- Use the standard nutrition row only if you have not changed the base configuration.
- For local pricing, select your shop in the Dutch Bros app or Order Ahead.
- If you change espresso, milk, flavor, or toppings, treat the published standard nutrition as a starting point rather than the final customized value.
