Best Dutch Bros Drinks by What You Want
Best first order: Golden Eagle
Sweet, creamy and not too strong, the Golden Eagle is the drink most people try first. Order it iced to save about 110 calories (460 vs 570 for a medium). Our Golden Eagle guide covers sizes and the Zero Sugar Added version.
Best chocolate drinks: Caramelizer, Annihilator, Cocomo
If you like mochas, the Caramelizer (caramel + chocolate milk), Cocomo (coconut + chocolate milk) and Annihilator (chocolate macadamia breve) are the chocolate-forward Dutch Faves. The Annihilator is made with half-and-half, so it is the richest of the three.
Strongest coffee: 911 and Double Torture
The 911 is made with 6 shots of espresso; the official guide lists 290 mg of caffeine for a medium. The Double Torture adds an extra double shot to vanilla and chocolate milk. See our Dutch Bros caffeine guide for more.
