Dutch Bros' Mangonada Rebel is a new menu addition that takes inspiration from a classic Mexican treat—fresh fruit paired with Tajín—and it shares a blend of sweet and spicy flavors for the spring and summer. This drink reenergizes Dutch Bros' exclusive energy drink, Rebel, with mangonada flavor topped with Strawberry Real Fruit and Tajín.
This versatile drink can be enjoyed several ways since it can be ordered blended or iced, or as a Mangonada Lemonade for a caffeine-free option.
Mexican-inspired beverages share a unique flavor profile by combining sweet, spicy, tangy and refreshing notes, which can satisfy a variety of taste preferences and pair well with different types of food.
