Tuxedo Blue Pom Smoothie

Quick Answer

This is the richest, most dessert-like drink in Blue Pom’s lineup. Dark chocolate and white chocolate are layered into the tart blueberry-pomegranate base at the same time, which differs from the single-flavor versions (Strawberry, White Chocolate alone) in that the two contrasting chocolate notes work on the base from opposite directions.

What You’ll Actually Taste

There are three things going on in this cup, not just one.

1. Blueberry and pomegranate, tart and bright, are the foundations of every Blue Pom drink.
2. Dark chocolate imparts a deeper, slightly bitter edge that cuts through the fruit rather than sweetens it.
3. White chocolate provides the opposite: a creamy, rounder sweetness that softens the dark chocolate’s edge.

Because both chocolates are used, this version is less of a “fruit smoothie” than the Strawberry or plain White Chocolate versions, tasting more like a chocolate-covered berry dessert.

Building It the Way It’s Meant to Be Ordered

The name “Tuxedo” refers to the dark-and-white chocolate pairing that is already built into the drink, so unlike some other Blue Pom variants, this one does not require additional flavourings to feel complete. However, the full customisation list is still available if you want to change it.

Flavors Available (sugar-free options on select flavors)
Almond, Banana, Brown Sugar Cinnamon, Blackberry, Blue Raspberry, Cane Sugar, Caramel, Cherry, Chocolate Macadamia, Coconut, Cupcake, Dark Chocolate, Guava, Hazelnut, Honey, Irish Cream, Kiwi, Lavender, Lime, Mango, Orange, Passion Fruit, Peach, Peppermint, Pineapple, Pomegranate, Raspberry, Salted Caramel, Strawberry, Toasted Marshmallow, Vanilla, Watermelon, White Chocolate

Sweetness: 1/4 · 1/2 · Regular · Extra
Milk Alternatives: Oat · Almond · Coconut
Toppings: Cream · Whipped Cream · Cold Foam · White Chocolate drizzle · Dark Chocolate drizzle · Caramel drizzle

A few practical notes on using these:

• Sweetness: Because both chocolates add sweetness in two directions, Regular is usually sufficient. Extra can take the drink completely into dessert territory, which some people prefer and others find excessive.
• Toppings: The Dark Chocolate or White Chocolate drizzle enhances whichever aspect of the flavour profile you prefer dark for more bitterness, white for more cream. Whipped cream is the traditional finish that binds both together.
• Oat milk, in particular, adds noticeable body to the drink, but it is entirely optional.

Where It Fits on the Menu

If you tried the single White Chocolate version and wanted more depth, this is the natural next step. The dark chocolate prevents it from tasting flat-sweet, as an all-white-chocolate drink can after a few sips.

Making It Your Own

Even though the Tuxedo already has the two-chocolate combo built in, it does not have to remain exactly as listed. A few minor adjustments can significantly alter the drink without transforming it completely.

If you want to go even more dessert-y, add a small amount of Caramel or Toasted Marshmallow on top of the existing dark-and-white chocolate base, making it more of a chocolate-caramel treat than a fruit smoothie. It’s a heavier order, but it works if you’ve already decided to stick with the more expensive options.

On the other hand, if you like the idea of the Tuxedo but want it to feel more like a fruit drink, a small amount of Raspberry or Blackberry can bring some of the berry brightness back to the forefront. It won’t undo the chocolate flavor, but it keeps the pomegranate base from getting completely overshadowed, which can happen if both chocolate drizzles are added at Extra sweetness.

Temperature and texture are also important considerations here. Because this drink is already rich, some people prefer it in a smaller size, a Small Tuxedo can feel just as indulgent as a Medium of something lighter, simply due to the density of the flavour. If you’re ordering it as an afternoon treat rather than a full drink to sip over time, consider sizing down.

Ultimately, the Tuxedo rewards a lighter hand with more customisation than a heavier one. It’s already designed to be rich on its own, so the majority of the useful adjustments here are about dialling back or redirecting the flavour slightly, rather than adding more to it.

Before You Order

If this is your first time trying it, there are a few things you should know:

• It’s noticeably richer than a standard fruit smoothie, making it more appropriate for a treat-yourself order rather than an everyday go-to.
• The base, like the rest of the Blue Pom line, contains no coffee or espresso, making it caffeine-free unless a location-specific energy add-in is included.
• If you don’t like bitter notes, request a lighter dark chocolate drizzle or skip it altogether; the white chocolate side still has plenty of sweetness.

Is this the same as the White Chocolate Blue Pom?
No. this version adds dark chocolate on top of the white chocolate, giving it a more layered, less purely sweet flavor.

Is it very sweet?
It can be, especially at Extra sweetness with both drizzles added. Ordering it at Regular sweetness with just one drizzle keeps it more balanced.

Can I make it dairy-free?
Yes. swap in Oat, Almond, or Coconut milk and skip dairy-based whipped cream.

The first time I ordered this, I expected it to taste similar to the White Chocolate version with additional decoration. It doesn’t; the dark chocolate actually alters the finish, adding a slightly bitter edge right at the end of the sip to keep it from tasting one-note. It’s become my go-to when I want to pamper myself rather than just grab something quick.
