The Dutch Bros Double Torture is a vanilla mocha with extra espresso. It is made for people who want a chocolatey drink that still delivers a real caffeine kick. The name sounds harsh, but the taste is smooth: the vanilla lightens the chocolate so it drinks easier than a typical mocha.

What Is in the Dutch Bros Double Torture?
According to a Business Insider review of the Dutch Faves, the Double Torture is made with:
- Four shots of espresso (two double shots) in the medium that was tested
- Chocolate milk
- Vanilla syrup
The reviewer ranked it fourth of eight Dutch Faves and said it has “the right caffeine and flavor” for a busy morning. Unlike most Dutch Faves, it uses chocolate milk instead of breve, which keeps it a little lighter.
Dutch Bros Double Torture Price and Calories
Estimated prices and calories from our full Dutch Bros menu:
| Version | Est. price (small to large) | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Double Torture (hot or iced) | $5.00 to $6.50 | 280 to 470 |
| Double Torture Blended Freeze | $5.00 to $7.00 | 430 to 830 |
It costs a little more than some other Dutch Faves because of the extra espresso.
How Strong Is the Double Torture?
It is one of the stronger coffee drinks on the menu because it gets extra espresso compared with a standard mocha. A regular small or medium Dutch Bros espresso drink has two shots, so four shots doubles the coffee. If you want even more, the Dutch Bros 911 uses six shots in every size, about 288 mg of caffeine. See our high-caffeine drinks guide for a full comparison.
How to Order the Double Torture
Hot, iced or Freeze
Iced is the most popular way to order it. Hot brings out the chocolate, and the Blended Freeze makes it a coffee milkshake with plenty of caffeine.
Sugar-free Double Torture
Ask for sugar-free vanilla. The chocolate milk still contains sugar, so it will not be fully sugar-free, but it cuts a good amount. Our sugar-free guide has lower-sugar choices.
Dairy-free option
Ask for a plant-based milk (oat, almond or coconut) instead of the chocolate milk. The drink will taste less chocolatey, so some people add a chocolate flavor if their stand has a dairy-free one. Learn more in our milk options guide.
