Copycat Dutch Bros Autumn Berry Rebel
Dutch Bros launched the Autumn Berry on August 21, 2026 at all 1,225+ locations — their only brand-new fall drink this year, alongside two returning favorites, the Caramel Pumpkin Brûlée and Cookie Butter. It’s a fruit-forward energy drink made with pomegranate, orange, and peach flavoring over their Rebel base, finished with a fresh mixed berry topping. Also available as a caffeine-free Myst sparkling refresher.
Dutch Bros charges $5–7 for a medium. The home version costs about $1.46 and takes five minutes.
What Makes the Autumn Berry Different From Other Dutch Bros Fall Drinks
The other drinks Dutch Bros brought back this fall — the Caramel Pumpkin Brûlée and the Cookie Butter — are coffee-based and pumpkin-spice-driven. The Autumn Berry is neither. It’s fruit-forward and sparkling, built around pomegranate tartness balanced by peach sweetness and orange brightness. The fresh berry topping adds texture and a burst of real fruit in every last sip.
It’s the only Dutch Bros fall drink built on the Rebel energy-drink base, which makes it the one to copy if you want something cold, fizzy, and fruity rather than another pumpkin latte.
The Three Versions
Dutch Bros offers the Autumn Berry in three formats:
| Format | Base | Caffeine | Texture |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rebel (Iced) | Energy drink | Yes (~80–160mg) | Sparkling, cold |
| Rebel (Blended) | Energy drink | Yes (~80–160mg) | Thick, slushy |
| Myst | Sparkling water | No | Lighter, more carbonated |
For home copycats:
- Rebel base: Monster Ultra Zero or Celsius Sparkling (both are lightly flavored and clear enough to let the pomegranate/peach syrups show)
- Myst base: Topo Chico or Perrier (stronger bubble = closer to the Dutch Bros Myst texture)
What’s in the Dutch Bros Autumn Berry
Dutch Bros describes the Autumn Berry as “juicy pomegranate, orange and peach flavors with a mixed berry fruit topping.” They use Torani syrups across their menu — the same brand sold retail at World Market and Amazon. The copycat uses the exact same products:
- Torani Pomegranate Syrup — the dominant flavor; tart and jewel-bright
- Torani Orange Syrup — lifts the pomegranate and adds citrus lightness
- Torani Peach Syrup — softens the tartness; adds a warm stone-fruit sweetness
- Fresh mixed berries — blueberries, raspberries, blackberries on top
Pro Tips
Mix the syrups before they hit the ice. Three separate pours layered into a glass means the bottom third tastes mostly peach, the middle mostly orange, and the top mostly pomegranate. Pre-mixing takes ten seconds and ensures balanced flavor in every sip.
Use frozen berries as a substitute. If fresh berries aren’t available, frozen mixed berries thawed briefly in the fridge work — they’re softer than fresh but the flavor is identical. Don’t microwave-thaw; that turns them mushy.
Keep your energy drink cold. Room-temperature energy drinks dilute the ice faster and make the drink thinner at the bottom. Refrigerate the can for at least two hours before using.
Start with less peach syrup. Peach is the sweetest of the three syrups. If you find the drink cloying, cut the peach to 2 teaspoons on your next try while keeping pomegranate and orange the same. The fruit balance tilts slightly tart, which works well against the berry topping.
The blueberry matters. Blueberries in the mixed berry topping add a subtle earthy counterpoint to the sweet-tart peach and pomegranate below. If you only have raspberries and blackberries, the drink still works — but blueberries are the ingredient that keeps it from reading as just “fruit syrup drink.”

Dutch Bros has not published nutrition facts for the Autumn Berry Rebel as of August 2026. Numbers above are estimated from ingredient labels. Myst version is nearly identical in calories — the energy drink base and sparkling water base have comparable nutritional profiles at this volume. Sugar-free Torani syrups cut carbs by roughly 18–20g per drink.
FAQ
What does the Dutch Bros Autumn Berry taste like? Tart pomegranate up front, softened by peach sweetness and lifted by orange brightness. It’s fruit-punch-adjacent but cleaner and less artificial than a standard fruit punch — the pomegranate gives it a distinctive tartness that balances the sweetness rather than just adding to it. The fresh berries on top add real berry flavor in the last few sips.
Is the Autumn Berry better as Rebel or Myst? Depends on your preference. The Rebel version has more body from the energy drink base and a slight “energy drink” undercurrent. The Myst is cleaner-tasting and more sparkling — the fruit flavors are sharper. If you’re sensitive to caffeine or don’t want the energy drink flavor, Myst is the better choice.
Can I use a different energy drink as the base? Yes. Any light or clear energy drink works — Bang Clear, Celsius Sparkling, Reign Inferno (clear variety). Avoid darker energy drinks (green Monster, original Red Bull) — they have a stronger baseline flavor that competes with the pomegranate. The clearer the base, the more the fruit syrups define the final taste.
How do I make this for a crowd? Scale the syrups (1.5 tbsp pomegranate + 1 tbsp orange + 1 tbsp peach = 3.5 tbsp per serving). For 8 servings, mix 12 tablespoons of pomegranate, 8 of orange, and 8 of peach syrup in a pitcher, then divide over ice and top each glass with 8 oz energy drink and a scoop of mixed berries. Stays well-mixed for up to 30 minutes in a pitcher without additional stirring.
