Dutch Bros Summer Drinks: Menu, Prices & New Releases (2027)

Summer is when Dutch Bros goes all in on cold drinks: blended Rebels, lemonades, Freezes and fruity flavors. The 2026 summer menu was one of the most important in years, because it launched a whole new drink category, the Myst Energy Refresher. This guide covers the summer lineup, what is in each drink, typical prices, official nutrition and the best ways to stay cool at Dutch Bros.

Prices are typical U.S. figures before tax. Seasonal drinks are available while supplies last. For the current menu, see the seasonal menu.

The 2026 summer menu

According to Dutch Bros, the summer 2026 menu launched on May 1, 2026, at all of its more than 1,136 locations.

Myst proved so popular that Dutch Bros said in August 2026 it would become a permanent menu item. Read our Myst guide for every flavor.

Summer 2025 recap

The summer 2025 menu, which launched May 1, 2025, introduced matcha (classic, Lavender Matcha Latte, Raspberry Matcha Latte and Paradise Matcha Lemonade), along with Dulce de Leche and Mochi Berry, a strawberry, passion fruit and sweet cream flavor topped with Soft Top and mochi pieces. Dulce de Leche returned in 2026. See our matcha guide.

Best summer orders

• Large Tropical Myst: 140 mg of caffeine with very few calories, perfect for long hot days.
• Blended Strawberry Colada Rebel: the classic summer slushie.
• Iced Dulce de Leche latte: caramel-cinnamon sweetness without the heaviness of a Freeze.
• Large iced tea: the cheapest drink per ounce at about $4.50 for 32 oz.
• Kids smoothie or blended lemonade: caffeine-free summer treats. See the kids menu.

Staying cool on a budget

Iced drinks give the most volume for the money: a small iced drink is already 16 oz. Ask for light ice to get more drink, and choose Myst, tea or lemonade over Freezes if you want to keep the price and sugar down. See our cheapest drinks list.

Summer drinks by caffeine

Hot weather often means more drinks per day, so it helps to know which summer drinks are strong and which are not. All figures are official values for a medium:

If you want something cold in the evening, blended lemonades, smoothies and shakes are caffeine-free. Our caffeine-free drinks list has them all.

Summer drinks for groups and road trips

Summer is road-trip season, and a Dutch Bros run is a common stop. For a car full of people, a mix of iced Rebels, lemonades and a kids smoothie usually covers everyone. Larger iced sizes are the best value per ounce, and Rewards members earn 3 points per dollar, so one person paying for the group can earn a free drink faster. See Dutch Rewards and Dutch Bros locations to find shops along your route.

When summer drinks leave

Summer seasonal flavors usually stay until the fall menu launches in late August. In 2026 the fall menu arrived on August 21, so Dulce de Leche and Strawberry Colada were available for about 16 weeks. Myst is the exception: Dutch Bros said it will stay on the menu permanently. If you want a summer flavor after it ends, check whether a similar flavor exists on the secret menu, since many fruit combinations can be made year-round with regular syrups.

Our summer picks by need

For a hot afternoon when you need energy but not a heavy drink, a medium Myst is hard to beat: plenty of caffeine and very few calories. If you want a treat, a blended Strawberry Colada Rebel or a Dulce de Leche Freeze is the classic summer indulgence, but plan on 400 or more calories in a medium. For kids and late evenings, a blended lemonade or smoothie gives the same slushy experience with no caffeine. And if you want to keep spending low, a large iced tea or lemonade gives you 32 oz for well under the price of a Freeze. If you missed the earlier spring flavors, see our spring menu guide for what came before summer.
