What is a Dutch Bros Aftershock Rebel?
The Aftershock Rebel is a lively, fruit-flavored energy drink at Dutch Bros Coffee Shops.
Dutch Bros describes the Aftershock Rebel as, “a vibrant and fruity beverage that blends the sweet and tart flavors of strawberry, blackberry, raspberry, and lime syrups with our signature Rebel energy drink base. Designed to energize and refresh, it's a unique taste experience available iced or blended, perfect for any preference or time of day.”
Similar to a mixed berry limeade at other coffee shops, if you were looking for an Aftershock Rebel at Starbucks, you might order a “mixed berry lime energy drink.”
Enjoy the Aftershock Rebel, perfect as an iced or blended treat. Let's dive into crafting the refreshing blended version today.
Now that you're familiar with the Aftershock Rebel, let's discuss how you can make this energizing and flavorful drink at home!
Ingredients That You Need to Make a Dutch Bros Aftershock Rebel
12oz Can of Sugar-Free Red Bull
To make an Aftershock Rebel that's close to what you'd get at Dutch Bros, you might start with Dutch Bros' own Blue Rebel Energy Drink. Since Blue Rebel can be tricky to find, using Red Bull is a good backup option—they taste pretty similar.
You could call this DIY version a Dutch Bros Redbull (a bit of humor for you).
For a less sugary option, I suggest using sugar-free Red Bull. This choice helps balance out the sweetness since we'll be adding syrups with a lot of sugar to the drink. Avoiding the extra 34 grams of sugar from a regular Red Bull seems wise, especially when you're mixing in those sweet syrups. Of course, you're free to customize your drink to your taste. My aim is to enjoy my Rebel without the intense sugar crash later.
Flavored Syrup
The fun part of making an Aftershock Rebel is choosing the syrup flavors. There are so many kinds, and you can use whatever combo you want in your drink!
What Flavors of Syrup to Use
When picking flavors for your Aftershock Rebel, you can use the same combos Dutch Bros does, or make up your own with flavors you like.
If you're not sure where to start, Torani has tasty flavored syrups on Amazon. Check out their Raspberry, Coconut, Strawberry, and Peach pack. You can also find syrups at local stores.
If you're not sure which flavor combos to try, here are some popular ones from Dutch Bros:
- Double Rainbro: Strawberry, Peach, Coconut
- Electric Berry: Lime, Blue Raspberry
- Shark Attack: Blue Raspberry, Coconut, Lime, Pomegranate Drizzle
- AquaBerry: Strawberry, Kiwi, Blue Raspberry, Watermelon
- Astronaut: Blackberry, Raspberry, Almond
- Gummy Bear: Kiwi, Lime, White Chocolate
- Dragon Slayer: Raspberry, Blue Raspberry, Blackberry Drizzle
- Unicorn Blood: Strawberry, White Chocolate, Almond
These can give you great ideas for making your own Aftershock Rebel!
How Much Syrup for a Dutch Bros Aftershock Rebel?
How much syrup to add? It depends on what you like. If it's not sweet enough, just add more later.
To make sure your Aftershock Rebel tastes good every time, measuring the syrup with a tablespoon is easy. Syrup pumps can be different, so using a tablespoon is more accurate.
To begin, consider starting with 6-8 tablespoons of syrup. For four different syrups, use 2 tablespoons of each; if using two, then 4 tablespoons of each is ideal. This approach lets you tailor the sweetness according to your preference.
Ice
The Aftershock Rebel is meant to be enjoyed cold, so ice is essential. Using more ice can make your drink larger but might dilute its strength.
Blended (optional)
Dutch Bros usually serves their Aftershock Rebels iced, without blending. But, blending the Red Bull, syrup, and ice until smooth like a smoothie can make the Aftershock Rebel even better and more fun to drink.
