aroma joe's flavors

My husband and I frequently go to a coffeeshop chain called Aroma Joe's for their caffeinated Italian soda, called a "Rush", which we usually get in the large 32oz. size. They are delicious and contain enough caffeine to power a microwave. Behind the counter, the Joe Girls have a majority of the Torani syrups and sauces, and you can mix and match any combination of these flavors in your Rush or coffee. Which can get pretty overwhelming! I never know what to order, or if I want to try something new, or go with my favorite (blueberry pomegranate, as of starting this experiment).

That said, I'm setting out to try (nearly) all of the flavor combinations Aroma Joe's offers, and report back on how they are -- that way, when I go to order, I'll know exactly what I'm in the mood for!

Aroma Joe's Nutrition Calculator is a good tool to see how much caffeine and sugar are inside your drink. For example, the 32oz. blueberry-pomegranate Rush is 360 calories, with 86g of sugar and 118mg of caffeine.

flavors (alphabetically) rating notes date tried
Amaretto, Cupcake, Lemon 1/10 NEVER ORDER CUPCAKE AGAIN 01/27/2026
Blackberry, Blueberry 5/10 Nothing exciting. I think these two flavors need to be in a throuple. Grows on me as I drink it, though. 02/19/2026
Blackberry, Blueberry, Mango 8/10 Mango is the strongest flavor. Both berries work together nicely. 01/14/2026
Blackberry, Blueberry, Red Raspberry 9/10 YUMMY 01/22/2026
Blackberry, Coconut, Lime 2/10 Husband's Rush. Not good. 02/06/2026
Blackberry, Kiwi 7/10 Yummy and sour. 02/04/2026
Blood Orange, Blueberry 6/10 No notes. 02/15/2026
Blood Orange, Blue Curacao, Orange 7/10 Off-putting color, but it tastes like the middle of an orange Tootsie Roll pop. I've gotten this one a few times because I like how super orange-y it tastes. One Joe Girl called it the "Orange Cubed" when I ordered it, which I love. 02/24/2026
Blood Orange, Lavender, Lime 9/10 Surprisingly good, lavender is subtle enough and plays well with lime for nuanced flavor. Didn't expect to like it but loved it. Husband's Rush. 01/29/2026
Blood Orange, Lime 4/10 Husband's Rush. He gives this a 7, but the lime is too overpowering to me. OK, but wouldn't get it again. 02/19/2026
Blood Orange, Pomegranate 4/10 Very tart. I wanted a similar flavor to the San Pelligrino drink that has juice of the same fruits. It's somewhat alike, but the sweetness is far more artificial and chemical-y. 03/05/2026
Blood Orange, Red Raspberry 10/10 PERFECT. 01/29/2026
Blueberry, Kiwi 9/10 Good balance of tangy and sour and sweet!! Loving the kiwi flavor. 02/04/2026
Blueberry, Pomegranate 10/10 Iconic. Untouchable. N/A
Blue Raspberry, Coconut, Pomegranate 7/10 No notes. 01/13/2026
Blue Raspberry, Red Raspberry 8/10 Great. 02/06/2026
Coconut, Pineapple 4/10 Mid. 01/20/2026
Grape, Kiwi 4/10 Sour grape. 02/15/2026
Lime, Red Raspberry 10/10 Husband's Rush. Amazing! Both flavors complement each other so well! The lime doesn't overpower the entire drink like it tends to. 03/05/2026
Mango, Pomegranate 5/10 Mango overpowered the pomegranate. 01/23/2026
Pomegranate, Red Raspberry 5/10 Fine. A bit forgettable, but not bad. Nothing to write home about. 02/24/2026
Red Raspberry, White Chocolate 1/10 Valentine's Day seasonal flavor. Terrible. Tasted like one of those chocolate-scented erasers from when I was a kid. Recommended by one of the Joe Girls, and she made me try it before we left. When I hated it, she let me return it for an entirely new Rush with different flavors. Shout out to her, she's a legend. 02/25/2026
