Dunkin’ Donuts Taking It Up A Notch With New Spiked Coffees And Teas
I must say that I’m excited about this announcement! Dunkin’ Donuts has announced that they’re planning on releasing a spiked coffee and tea line, and Phil and I must try them! According to Today, the Massachusetts chain is preparing to launch a collection of spiked iced coffee and iced tea. The name of the brand is Dunkin’ Spiked.
When it comes to coffee, Starbucks is good, but I prefer Dunkin’ as a general rule. And even though Krispy Kreme is a North Carolina chain, I like Dunkin’ donuts better. I’m more of a cake donut fan than a glazed fan. The breakfast food at Dunkin’ is pretty tasty too.
Ok, back to the spiked line. The hard coffees and teas will be available in variety packs, with four flavor options: Original Iced Coffee, Caramel Iced Coffee, Mocha Iced Coffee, and Vanilla Iced Coffee. The spiked iced tea flavors include Dunkin’s Slightly Sweet Iced Tea, Half & Half Iced Tea, Strawberry Dragonfruit Iced Tea Refresher, and Mango Pineapple Iced Tea Refresher. The spiked coffees will be slightly boozier than the teas at 6 percent ABV versus 5 percent ABV for the iced teas.
To create their new line, Dunkin’ is partnering with Boston-based brewery Harpoon Brewery. There’s no word on when the new line will be available, but hopefully soon. The only issue I see with the spiked line is someone not knowing it contains booze and kicking back a few before work. Of course, depending on your job, that might be ok! It’d make the workday more fun.
Usually, spiked coffees and teas have lots of sugar and are just a bit too sweet for me. I have a feeling you won’t be able to drink lots of these without becoming queasy. I could be wrong though! Phil and I are going to have to try some of the flavors for a ‘Nosh or Nasty’ video once they hit stores. I’m wondering if they’ll change their tag line from ‘Everyone Runs on Dunkin’ to ‘Everyone Stumbles on Dunkin’
Since Dunkin’ is from Massachusetts, folks there LOVE their ‘Dunks’. A few people have already made some comments about the new spiked line. One person says, ‘Boston is gonna turn into Mad Max in like two weeks’. LOL! Another person says that the state may not survive this! HA! I love it!
When reached for comment, a Dunkin’ representative hinted at the possibility of cool caffeinated cocktails to come.
