Dutch Bros wants to kick off 2025 on a special note by encouraging consumers to 'add Shine' to their favorite drinks.
For a limited time, Dutch Bros is giving consumers the option to add edible glitter – which they call 'Shine' – to their drink of choice. You can add Shine to any Dutch Bros' iced Rebel (energy drink), tea, lemonade, soda, or cold brew. While adding Shine does not actually change the flavor of your drink, it adds a shimmery glitter that makes the drink sparkle. You can get even more of the effect by giving your drink a little shake.
Though Dutch Bros has had the Shine option for some time now, the new promotion is a perfect way to kick off New Year's Day.
