Dr. Smoothie Refreshers: Easy, Fruit-Forward Drinks to Boost Your Menu
When summer heat strikes, nothing satisfies quite like a cool, vibrant drink that’s as flavorful as it is refreshing. That’s where Dr. Smoothie Refreshers truly shine. Known for their bold fruit flavors, natural ingredients, and incredible versatility, these fruit refreshers for cafes are designed to give both customers and baristas a reason to celebrate the season.
At Dilworth Coffee, we’re always looking for ways to help our wholesale partners serve beverages that not only taste amazing but are also made with quality, functional ingredients. Dr. Smoothie Refreshers check every box—and we’re proud to offer them as a great addition to your menu.
What Makes Dr. Smoothie Refreshers Stand Out?
Dr. Smoothie Refreshers are vibrant, fruit-forward beverage bases crafted with natural botanical caffeine, real fruit juice and purée, and no artificial colors or flavors. They're dairy-free, gluten-free, and preservative-free—making them a clean-label alternative to sugary sodas or overly sweet energy drinks.
These refreshers are incredibly flexible behind the bar. They can be combined with still or sparkling water, lemonade, or coconut water to suit your menu and your customers' tastes. Each 46oz bottle of concentrate goes a long way, delivering consistently bold and refreshing flavor in every sip.
Available Flavors
The Dr. Smoothie Refresher line includes a range of exciting, color-rich options:
Each flavor offers a clean finish and an eye-catching hue—perfect for coffee shop menus that prioritize drinks that look as good as they taste.
Whether you’re creating a signature iced refresher, a frozen blended drink, or a low-effort mocktail, these bases are built for creativity.
3 Summer-Ready Drink Ideas for Your Café
Looking to add fruit refreshers for your café menu? Here are three simple but crowd-pleasing recipes to inspire your summer lineup:
1. Sparkling Dragon Fruit Lychee Cooler
Mix 3 oz of Dragon Fruit Lychee Refresher with 5 oz of chilled sparkling water over ice. Add a squeeze of lime and garnish with fresh lychee or dragon fruit. The fizz brightens the fruit notes and adds a bit of flair to every sip.
2. Creamy Peach Mango Freeze
Blend 3 oz of Peach Mango Refresher with 2 oz of coconut milk, ice, and a splash of pineapple juice. The result is a velvety frozen tropical treat, perfect for hot days. Garnish with peach slices or a mango wedge.
3. Strawberry Açaí Lemonade Spritz
Combine 2 oz of Strawberry Açaí Refresher with 4 oz of lemonade and 2 oz of soda water. Serve over ice and top with fresh berries. This one’s perfect for a refreshing, berry-forward patio beverage.
High Flavor, Low Effort, Excellent Margins
From a business standpoint, Dr. Smoothie Refreshers are a profitable addition to any beverage program. Each 46oz bottle yields around 15–16 drinks (16oz size) at a standard 3oz mix ratio. Including concentrate, water or lemonade, ice, and cup, the average cost per drink is around $1.35–$1.50.
To hit a 30% food cost margin, most cafés would price these drinks around $4.50–$5.00, aligning with customer expectations for premium, clean-label, fruit-forward summer beverages.
