The [Blended](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shia-restaurant) Cabana Rebel with [Soft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grenade-soft-core-creme-egg-protein-bar) Top is a new menu item from Dutch Bros that features the company's private label Blue Rebel Energy Drink and sweet and fluffy topping. The coconut and pineapple beverage boasts a marshmallow-like topping that enhances the experience of drinking the tropical summer beverage.

This beverage may also be ordered iced and it shares a simple and refreshing way to provide a sense of escape without the need for travel. The company is also introducing the Iced Watermelon Rebel with Soft Top as a satisfying treat for poolsides and backyard barbecues. As Carrie Wall, product manager at [Dutch Bros Coffee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dutch-bros-coffee), sees it: "The Blended Cabana Rebel brings all the tropical vibes, and the Iced Watermelon Rebel is the perfect way to amp up your summer adventures."
