The Essentials of a Homemade Dutch Bros Rebel
Making a Dutch Bros Rebel at home is fun and easy. Here’s what you need to get started.
Ingredients
First, gather your ingredients:
- 12oz can of sugar-free energy drink (like Red Bull)
- Ice
- Flavored syrups (blue raspberry, coconut, strawberry, etc.)
Steps
Fill a large cup with ice. The amount of ice will depend on how cold and refreshing you want your drink.
Pour in your energy drink. A 12oz can of a sugar-free energy drink works great. It’s light on calories but packs the caffeine punch you need.
Add the flavored syrups. For a classic Rebel, mix in 6-8 tablespoons of your favorite syrups. Try combinations like blue raspberry and coconut or mix strawberry, blackberry, and lime for a fruity twist.
Stir well. Use a spoon to gently mix everything together until the syrups are fully blended with the energy drink.
Customization Tips
- Blended Option: If you prefer a smoothie-like texture, blend the ice, energy drink, and syrups together.
- Extra Toppings: Add a dollop of whipped cream on top for an extra treat.
- Syrup Choices: Experiment with different syrup flavors to find your perfect mix.
The Dutch Bros Rebel allows you to tailor it to your preferences. Don’t be afraid to try new syrup combinations or adjust the sweetness.
To recreate this experience, you can follow this detailed guide.
Crafting Your Rebel: A Step-By-Step Guide
Let’s begin creating a delicious Dutch Bros Aftershock Rebel at home. We’ll cover selecting the right syrups, mixing everything just right, and adding the perfect final touches.
Selecting Your Syrup
The flavor of a Rebel drink comes from its syrups. For an Aftershock Rebel, I like to use Strawberry, Lime, Blackberry, and Coconut syrups.
- Use 6-8 tablespoons of syrup in total.
You can experiment with the quantities to find your perfect taste. Using more syrup will make the drink sweeter.
If you love a fruity combo, try adding a bit of Peach or Blue Raspberry too. This adds another layer of flavor. Pick your favorite flavors to make the Rebel unique to your taste.
Mixing the Perfect Blend
Now that we have the syrups, it’s time to mix them in.
- Fill a large cup with ice. This will make the drink refreshing.
- Pour a 12 oz can of Sugar-Free Red Bull over the ice.
- Add the syrups. I use around 2-3 tablespoons of each syrup to balance the flavors.
- Stir gently to blend the syrups and Red Bull.
If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the mixture instead of just stirring. This gives it a smoothie-like consistency. Either way, you’ll get a perfectly mixed Rebel.
Final Touches
For the finishing touches, taste your drink and adjust as needed. If it’s not sweet enough, add more syrup. Feel free to garnish with a fresh slice of lime or a strawberry.
Serve with a straw and enjoy! This drink is best enjoyed iced and very cold.
Making your own Rebel means you can customize it however you like. If you like trying new things, mix and match different flavored syrups until you find your favorite combination. Enjoy making your personalized Dutch Bros Aftershock Rebel!
