Dutch Mojito: Ingredients, Recipes, Rebel, soda, tea versions
The first time someone mentioned a Dutch Mojito at Dutch Bros, I honestly thought they were joking. Mint, lime, soda, energy drink, and even tea versions, all under one name, sounded like a mashup that shouldn’t work.
But once you realize how flexible this drink really is, it kind of clicks, and you start wondering which version actually tastes the best and why so many regulars swear by it.
Dutch Mojito
A Dutch Mojito is a super refreshing, minty-citrus drink you can order at Dutch Bros, and it’s more of a flavor style than a single fixed recipe. Think cool mint, bright lime, and a bubbly or smooth base, depending on how you order it.
It’s called a “mojito” even though there’s no alcohol because the flavor profile mirrors a classic mojito. Fresh-tasting mint, zesty lime, and that crisp, clean finish. Dutch Bros basically took the vibe of the cocktail and turned it into a fun, drive-thru-friendly drink.
What really makes it stand out is how customizable it is. You can get it as an energy drink, a soda, or a tea, all using the same core flavors. That’s why people talk about it like it’s multiple drinks in one. If you want a quick overview of how Dutch Bros treats this drink across the menu, their breakdown on the Dutch Mojito drink gives helpful context.

Rebel’s Secret Sauce: What Makes It Unique
- Mix It Your Way: Rebel’s recipe flexes to your vibe. Swap classic soda for herbal tea (hello, Dutch Mojito Tea!) or their branded Rebel mixer for an extra kick.
- Lower Sugar, Big Flavor: Ditch the sugar overload! Rebel’s Dutch Mojito cuts calories without skimping on taste, using natural sweeteners or zero-sugar soda.
- Rebel Can Magic: Grab-and-go convenience meets sustainability. Their signature Rebel Can keeps the drink fizzy and fresh—perfect for picnics, parties, or pantry stashing.
Dutch Mojito Base Ingredients
No matter which version you order, every Dutch Mojito starts with the same flavor backbone. That’s what keeps it recognizable, even when the base changes.
Core flavors used in every version
- Mint for that cooling, fresh finish
- Lime to add brightness and a little tang
- Sweetener or flavor syrup to balance the sharp citrus
- Ice for chill and texture
- Carbonation or tea base, depending on the style you choose
Mint and lime work so well together because one cools while the other wakes up your taste buds. Add sweetness, and you get a drink that feels light but still flavorful, not heavy or syrupy.
If you go the bubbly route, carbonation makes the flavors pop even more, which is why many people compare it to other sparkling options on the menu, similar to what you’ll find in Dutch Bros soda-style drinks like those covered in their best Dutch Bros soda guide.

Dutch Mojito vs Similar Dutch Bros Drinks
If you’re staring at the menu thinking everything sounds refreshing, you’re not wrong. But the Dutch Mojito has a slightly different lane compared to other popular picks.
How it compares to lemonade drinks
Lemonade drinks at Dutch Bros are bold, juicy, and very citrus-forward. They’re great when you want something bright and punchy.
The Dutch Mojito still brings citrus, but it’s softer and more balanced. Lime replaces lemon, mint cools everything down, and the sweetness feels lighter. If lemonades ever feel a bit sharp or sugary to you, that’s usually when the Dutch Mojito wins. You can see how lemonade-based drinks are built in their Dutch Bros lemonade menu for comparison.
How it compares to other mint-based drinks
Some mint drinks at Dutch Bros lean sweet or tea-heavy, especially flavored green teas or specialty mixes. Those are smooth, but the mint often plays a background role.
In a Dutch Mojito, mint is the star. It’s crisp, noticeable, and designed to refresh first, not just add flavor. That’s why it feels cleaner and less dessert-like than many mint options.
Why people choose the Dutch Mojito instead
People usually pick the Dutch Mojito because it sits right in the middle of everything:
- Lighter than lemonades
- Fresher than sweet mint drinks
- More flexible than most menu items
You can switch the base, adjust sweetness, or go caffeine-free without losing the signature taste. That versatility is what keeps it a go-to for regulars who want something refreshing but not boring.
