The summer Dutch Bros Coffee menu has been debuted by the brand as a series of mocktail-inspired refreshments perfect for customers to pick up as an alternative to traditional mixed drinks.
The drink range includes the Mudslide Mocha, Strawberry Colada and Blue Lagoon with Strawberry Fruit, which are each inspired by classic bar recipes and alcohol-free cocktails alike. The Mudslide Mocha takes a deep, rich approach to chocolate flavor, while the Strawberry Colada focuses on pineapple, coconut, strawberry and sweet cream flavors. Finally, the Blue Lagoon with Strawberry Fruit features blue raspberry and passion fruit tasting notes.
The summer Dutch Bros Coffee menu also focuses on a chilled lineup of refreshments in response to consumer interest in cold drinks in lieu of the hot weather, but also due to a proclivity for iced beverages.
