Dutch Bros Dragon Slayer Recipe
If you’ve ever stood in the Dutch Bros drive-thru craving that electric blue-purple fusion of fruity energy, you’re not alone. The Dutch Bros Dragon Slayer has become a cult favorite among Rebel drink enthusiasts, and for good reason.
Ingredients
- 1 can 8.4 oz sugar-free Red Bull (or regular for extra sweetness; use 2 cans for larger drinks)
- 2 oz raspberry syrup Torani or Monin brand recommended
- 2 oz blue raspberry syrup Torani or Monin
- 1 oz blackberry syrup or blackberry puree for the float; Torani works well
- Ice to fill cup
- Optional: 2 oz sweet cream for softer texture
- Optional: popping boba or strawberry boba for texture
- Optional: whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Prepare your cup – Fill a 24 oz clear cup approximately 3/4 full with ice cubes, leaving room for liquid and layering effects.
- Add the flavor base – Pour in 2 oz of raspberry syrup followed by 2 oz of blue raspberry syrup at the bottom of the cup over the ice.
- Create the blackberry float – Add 1 oz of blackberry syrup, pouring it gently to allow it to settle and create the signature float layer.
- Pour the Red Bull – Slowly add the full 8.4 oz can of Red Bull (it will fizz slightly), pouring over the back of a spoon if you want to preserve layers longer.
- Optional cream addition – If using sweet cream, pour 2 oz over the top for a creamier, softer texture that mimics Dutch Bros’ signature creaminess.
- Final touches – Top with additional ice if needed, add popping boba if desired, and insert a wide straw.
- Stir and serve – Give it a gentle stir to combine flavors, or leave layered for visual appeal and stir as you drink.

Notes
The dragon slayer drink is best enjoyed immediately after preparation for optimal carbonation and texture. If you must store it, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 24 hours, though the Red Bull will lose significant fizz. Frozen versions can be stored in the freezer for 2-3 hours and re-blended with a splash of fresh Red Bull. Never microwave or reheat this beverage.
