Ingredients and their roles

For this Iced Golden Eagle Dutch Bros recipe, you’ll need:

• Espresso – Provides the bold, rich coffee flavor that forms the base of the drink.
• Vanilla syrup – Adds a sweet richness and complexity that takes some of the edge off the bitterness of the espresso.
• Caramel syrup – Brings a buttery element that complements the half-and-half and vanilla syrup well.
• Half-and-half – Creates a creamy, smooth texture that goes beyond ordinary milk-based coffee drinks.
• Caramel sauce – Boosts the caramel flavor and adds a decorative touch.
• Ice – Cools down the espresso and ensures the drink is refreshingly chilled.

How to make Golden Eagle Dutch Bros style coffee at home

To prepare this Dutch Bros Golden Eagle recipe:

1. Pour the espresso, vanilla syrup, and caramel syrup into a mixing glass or cocktail shaker. Using a chilled mixing glass or shaker will cool the espresso quickly.
2. Mix the ingredients until the syrups dissolve into the espresso and the mixture is around room temperature.
3. Add the ice to the mixing glass or shaker. Stir or shake well and set to the side.
4. Drizzle the caramel sauce around the inside of the serving glass to create an attractive pattern.
5. Fill the serving glass three-quarters full of fresh ice and strain the drink into the glass.
6. Pour in the half-and-half and stir.
7. Drizzle more caramel sauce on top of the drink right before serving.

How to make it ahead of time

Save time by preparing a Dutch Bros Golden Eagle coffee base and keeping it in the fridge:

1. Prepare the espresso and syrup mixture as above, adjusting the amounts to serve the desired number of servings.
2. Once cooled to room temperature, transfer the mix to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will stay fresh for up to two days before the flavor begins to fade.
3. When ready to serve, drizzle caramel sauce around the inside of a serving glass.
4. Fill the glass three-quarters full of fresh ice and pour in four-and-a-half ounces of the premade espresso mixture.
5. Add half-and-half, stir gently, and finish with an extra drizzle of caramel sauce on top before serving.
