Tips for Ordering from the Secret Menu

  • Know the Ingredients: Some secret menu drinks may not be recognized by name, so understanding the main ingredients—like caramel and vanilla for the Golden Eagle—makes ordering easier.

  • Try Custom Add-Ons: Add toppings like whipped cream or caramel drizzle for a “Picture Perfect” finish, giving your drink that extra treat.

With these simple tips, you can confidently explore Dutch Bros’ secret menu, discovering new favorites tailored just for you. So, next time, don’t hesitate, venture off the standard menu and find something uniquely yours.

How to Order from the Dutch Bros Secret Menu

Ordering is straightforward but benefits from a little know-how to ensure you get the exact drink you’re craving. Here’s a quick guide:

Step-by-Step Guide for Ordering Custom Drinks

  1. Know the Drink Ingredients: Secret menu items may not always be recognized by name. Have a list of ingredients ready, especially for popular items like the Bob Marley (coconut, banana, and chocolate) or the Golden Eagle (vanilla and caramel with a caramel drizzle). This helps ensure the barista knows exactly what you’re after.
  2. Specify Your Base: Many Dutch Bros drinks can be made with various bases, including Rebel energy, tea, coffee, or even lemonade. Specify your preferred base to match the flavor profile you want.
  3. Request Add-Ons and Toppings: Want to go “Picture Perfect”? Ask for a whipped cream topping with caramel and chocolate drizzle. Toppings like these can make a standard drink feel more customized and indulgent.
  4. Choose Your Temperature and Texture: Decide if you want your drink hot, iced, or blended. Some drinks, like the Molten Lava Frost, are popular blended, while others like chai and coffee can be enjoyed hot.

Tips for Accuracy When Ordering

  • Confirm Syrup Ratios: Secret menu drinks often have specific syrup combinations. If your barista seems unfamiliar, double-check the ratios, especially for unique blends like the Peach Pom Passion Mango Rebel.
  • Check Ingredient Availability: Ingredients may vary by location or season. For instance, some fruity flavors may only be available in warmer months. Having a backup choice can save time if your first pick isn’t available.
  • Use Simple Descriptions: If your drink has several components, keep descriptions clear and simple. For example, “Rebel base with peach, mango, and pomegranate syrups” avoids any mix-up on flavors or bases.

Barista-Approved Hacks: Order Like a Pro

Want to sound like a Dutch Bros regular? These insider tips will help you customize drinks like a seasoned pro, ensuring you get exactly what you crave without the guesswork.

The 3-2-1 Rule for Balanced Flavors
A favorite among baristas, this simple ratio keeps drinks flavorful but not overpowering. Try:

  • 3 pumps vanilla (sweet base)
  • 2 pumps caramel (rich depth)
  • 1 pump chocolate macadamia nut (nutty finish)
    Works perfectly in a breve or latte. Adjust to taste; some prefer a 2-2-2 split for a bolder flavor.

Picture Perfect Upgrades
Turn any drink into a social media standout by asking for it Picture Perfect. This means:

  • Extra whipped cream
  • Drizzles (caramel, chocolate, or both)
  • Sprinkles or cinnamon dust
    Baristas often go all out for these orders, making them as photogenic as they are delicious.

Half-Sweet, Full Flavor
Dutch Bros drinks can be sugary, but you can cut the sweetness without sacrificing taste. For example:

  • half-sweet White Zombie (white chocolate and vanilla) still tastes creamy but with half the sugar.
  • quarter-sweet Electric Berry Rebel lets the tart berry flavors shine.
    Most locations will adjust syrup pumps on request.

Pro Tip: Pair these hacks with your favorite base cold brew for a caffeine kick, almond milk for a lighter option, or a Frost for dessert-like indulgence.
