Move Over McDonald's, Dutch Bros' Newest Drink 'Just Struck Gold'

With St. Patrick’s Day fast approaching, plenty of seasonal goodies are hitting drive-thrus nationwide. From Krispy Kreme’s Taste O’Luck collection to Arby’s celebratory free sandwiches, there’s no shortage of festive treats to snag this weekend.

Arguably the most highly anticipated St. Patrick’s Day-themed menu item is McDonald’s beloved Shamrock Shake, which made its grand return last month. A seasonal icon since its nationwide debut in 1970, the Shamrock Shake remains a fan-favorite year after year.

But now, the classic shake may have met its match. Dutch Bros is shaking up the competition with its latest menu drop, introducing one treat in particular that could steal the spotlight from McDonald’s minty staple.

Dutch Bros Celebrates St. Patrick's Day With 2 New Drinks

Dutch Bros may have just launched its spring menu, but that’s not stopping the coffee chain from rolling out more festive creations. To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, the drive-thru coffee company has introduced two new green-themed drinks that bring full-force holiday spirit.

First up is the Emerald Rebel, an electrifying twist on the brand’s signature energy drink. Instead of the expected mint flavor, this neon-green beverage blends Dutch Bros’ Rebel energy drink base with blue raspberry, kiwi, and a swirl of sweet cream. One reviewer described it as "electricity in [their] mouth."

Next up, we have the Lucky Mint Shake, a frozen treat that looks strikingly similar to McDonald’s beloved Shamrock Shake. This rich, minty milkshake is topped with the brand’s signature Soft Top and crumbled brownie pieces. According to fans, it boasts a bold mint flavor, while still tasting very similar to the McDonald's favorite.

"Just struck GOLD!!" one commenter raved.

Dutch Bros isn’t the only chain looking to cash in on mint-flavored madness. Last month, Jack in the Box unveiled its Lucky Mint Trio, featuring an Oreo Mint Shake, Oreo Mint Mocha Sweet Cream Iced Coffee, and Mint Twisted Soda—all designed to satisfy seasonal cravings.

Mint and green-themed treats are a St. Patrick’s Day staple, and every year, new drinks try—and fail—to dethrone the Shamrock Shake. McDonald’s iconic mint shake has remained undefeated, but if any drink has a shot at stealing the spotlight, it just might be Dutch Bros’ latest creation.

Still, Dutch Bros fans (myself included) are eager to put these new creations to the test. Whether you're craving an energizing kick from the Emerald Rebel or a creamy, minty indulgence from the Lucky Mint Shake, these limited-time sips are here for a short run—so grab one while you can!
