This year, Dutch Bros adding a pair of St. Patrick's Day drinks to its menu, Shamrock Kicker and Lucky Rebel, both of which are topped with dazzling gold. These limited-time beverages offer a spirited way to get into holiday celebrations, all the while introducing customers to a fun new topping in the form of "gold sprinks."

While the Shamrock Kicker mixes Irish cream syrup and espresso with half and half, Lucky Rebel is a colorful option that blends Dutch Bros' Rebel energy drink and blue raspberry syrup. Both of these festive St. Patrick's Day drinks are topped off with Soft Top and the delightful new gold sprinks, and will be available from the drive-thru coffee company for just a short time through Match 17th.
