America runs on Dunkin' — and the coffee chain is making sure that statement stays true, even late at night and on the weekends. As alcoholic offerings like boozy seltzers and canned cocktails continue to "spike" in popularity (pun fully intended), Dunkin' is getting in the game with a line of drinks that pack a different kind of punch: alcoholic coffees and iced teas.
As VinePair reported, Dunkin' registered to launch an alcoholic collection of beverages and has already launched a website for Dunkin' Spiked, teasing several flavors based on drinks fans love from its coffee chain.
We don't know exactly when Dunkin' Spiked drinks will be released, but Dunkin' received label approval from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) back in May, so it could be any day now. Here's everything else we know.
Dunkin' is teasing two different types of spiked drinks on its website: iced coffee and iced tea.
The spiked iced coffee drinks will come in four flavors: Original, Caramel, Mocha and Vanilla. The Original is based on classic Dunkin' coffee, while Caramel has a hint of sweetness based on Caramel iced coffee drinks sold at Dunkin'. Mocha is "chocolatey and approachably decadent," and Vanilla is "creamy, smooth and delightfully sweet."
There are also four flavors of spiked iced teas: Slightly Sweet, Half & Half, Strawberry Dragonfruit and Mango Pineapple. Slightly Sweet has a "bright, citrus finish," while Half & Half is "refreshingly sweet and perfectly balanced." The fruit flavors are based on Dunkin's popular Refreshers — Strawberry Dragonfruit is "slightly sweet with bright and exotic fruit flavor," while Mango Pineapple is "slightly sweet with fresh, tropical fruit flavor."
The iced coffees are 6% ABV and come in 12-ounce cans in four- and six-packs — though you can also get the Original flavor in a 19.2-ounce single-serve can.
The iced teas are 5% ABV. They also come in 12-ounce cans in four- and six-packs, with the Slightly Sweet flavor available as a 19.2-ounce single-serve can.
Dunkin Donuts Iced Coffee Variety Pack
This variety pack comes with Dunkin' iced coffee in Original, French Vanilla and Mocha flavors — almost all the same flavors as the forthcoming spiked coffee line. We won't tell if you want to add a little something while you wait for the boozy coffee to be released.
