Dutch Bros Coffee, a rapidly expanding drive-thru chain with over 600 locations across 14 states, has introduced a new promotional campaign called the 'Epic Drink Duel.' Through this initiative, the brand pits two contrasting flavors against each other to determine customer preferences.
The Epic Drink Duel features the Brownie Batter Mocha, a rich and decadent chocolate-based beverage topped with brownie pieces, and the Sour Berry Blast, a tangy blue raspberry-infused drink enhanced with popping boba and an optional sour shot. Customers are encouraged to try both and declare their allegiance. Dutch Bros Coffee has also introduced an affordable add-on option, allowing patrons to intensify the tartness of any drink for an additional 50 cents.
The beverages in the Epic Drink Duel are available for a limited time.
