Recreate Dutch Bros' Pink Velvet Soft Top At Home Now That It's Off The Menu - Tasting Table

"Although this creamy, fruity topping has since been discontinued at most Dutch Bros locations, that has not stopped fans of the topping from trying to make their own at home. Recipes vary, with some folks trying to froth together heavy cream with red velvet and cheesecake syrups, while others have suggested that its flavor was more like a combination of raspberry and white chocolate."

"The general sentiment is that the flavor profile of the Soft Top did taste like red velvet or (at minimum) cake frosting, meaning it may take some playing around with syrups to find a flavor that tastes as close as possible to the real thing."

"The beauty of making your own Pink Velvet Soft Top at home is that you can add it to your favorite homemade coffee drinks - both hot and iced. Of course, since you're playing with syrups in your homemade variation, it's important to consider how the sweetness of the foamy, frothed topping will play with the other flavors."

Dutch Bros released limited-time Valentine's Day drinks in 2026, including the Luvstruck Rebel and Pink Velvet Mocha, with the Pink Velvet Frosting Soft Top topping being particularly popular. Though discontinued at most locations, fans have developed homemade recipes attempting to replicate the topping's flavor profile. Variations include frothing heavy cream with red velvet and cheesecake syrups, or combining raspberry and white chocolate flavors. The topping tastes like red velvet or cake frosting, requiring experimentation with different syrups to match the original. Homemade versions work well with various coffee drinks, particularly bold cold brew bases, allowing customization of sweetness levels.
