How to make Dutch Bros Cocomo at Home

In the Dutch Bros Cocomo drink, espresso plays a crucial role in delivering a bold and flavorful experience amidst the coolness of coconut and milk.

To make this beverage, use two shots of Dutch Bros espresso to achieve the desired strength and intensity. Dutch Bros espresso pods are concentrated, ensuring that even when mixed with coconut and milk, the coffee flavor remains strong and distinctive.

Espresso’s potency is essential, especially in chilled drinks, as it prevents the flavors from becoming watered down. Without espresso, the drink would lack the robustness needed to complement the cooling sensation of the ice.

If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can still make strong coffee using alternatives like the Moka pot. This way, everyone can enjoy the rich flavor and energy boost of espresso in their Nespresso iced coffee, even if they don’t have fancy equipment

If you’re after strong coffee, you can also use a Nespresso or Keurig machine. With a Keurig, if you want it to taste like espresso, choose an espresso K-cup made with stronger beans. Here are some options you can consider.

Another way to brew stronger coffee is by using an Aeropress or French press and adjusting the ratio of water to beans. By using less water and allowing the beans to steep longer, you can extract more flavor from the coffee, resulting in a stronger brew.

If you only have a drip coffee maker available, here are some tips to make your coffee stronger:

1. Choose darker roast coffee beans.
2. Grind your beans finer, as this will make them more compact.
3. Use a greater amount of coffee grounds.

If you’re trying to replicate a Dutch Bros drink, using Dutch Bros’ official coffee beans is recommended. You can find them at the link provided below.

Coconut Syrup

Now, let’s talk about adding coconut syrup to the Dutch Bros Cocomo drink.

When making Dutch Bros Cocomo, they use 2 tablespoon of coconut syrup. It’s important to note that it’s coconut syrup, not just any sweetener. There’s actually a difference!

Coconut syrup is great because it has a strong coconut flavor and mixes well in drinks. It’s made from coconut sap or sugar, boiled down into a thick syrup.

This richness adds to your Cocomo’s taste, making it delicious. So, when you’re making Dutch Bros Cocomo at home, don’t forget the coconut syrup for that real flavor!

Chocolate Milk

Dutch Bros Cocomo gets its creamy texture from chocolate milk. Mixed with espresso and coconut syrup, it offers a rich and tasty treat. The combo of chocolate milk, espresso, and coconut syrup makes it a uniquely delicious drink that’s sure to please.

For your homemade Dutch Bros Cocomo, I suggest using fairlife chocolate milk along with  dark chocolate Torani Puremade sauce. This combination enhances the flavor and richness of the drink. You can find both products linked below.

Nutritional Info for Dutch Bros Cocomo

What’s the nutritional info for Dutch Bros Cocomo? Well, it’s pretty high in calories.

This drink isn’t exactly health food. A small classic Cocomo is packing 280-540 calories, depending on how you get it. That’s like eating a small meal, except it’s all in liquid form. But hey, sometimes you gotta treat yo’self, right?

As for caffeine, you’re looking at about 64mg per 8oz. That’s enough to wake you up, but not enough to make you see sound.

For a small Classic Cocomo, it’s 280 calories if it’s iced, 400 if it’s hot, and 510 if it’s blended. The small Freeze version is even higher at 540 calories.

If you’re keeping an eye on your calories, consider going for a smaller size. Personally, I opt for the small iced one when I want to indulge without feeling too guilty.

How much caffeine does a cup of Cocomo from Dutch Bros have?

Well, it’s caffeinated, providing around 64 mg per 8 fluid ounces of liquid, which is pretty average for coffee drinks. However, due to its high caffeine content, I wouldn’t recommend giving it to small children or anyone sensitive to caffeine.

I usually order it earlier in the day to avoid messing up my sleep schedule.
