The temperatures are rising, the tank tops will be coming out soon and we’re keeping our eyes peeled for summer’s new fast-food items. In fact, Dairy Queen has already revealed its summer Blizzards and McDonald’s released a new frozen Hawaiian punch. Now, Dunkin’ seasonal drinks are ready to join the party!
Icons like the Mango Pineapple Refresher and Butter Pecan Iced Coffee will definitely return to the menu, but there’s more. Dunkin’ is serving brand-new drinks, wraps, snacks and even a brand-new doughnut. Plus, according to Dunkin’s itself, a fan-favorite cold brew is making a comeback.
Salted Caramel Cold Brew Is Back!
Dunkin’ fans will undoubtedly embrace “the sweet return” of the Salted Caramel Cold Brew. This menu item sold out nationwide during its debut. It’s back on the menu for summer so dedicated fans of the drink can savor smooth cold brew mixed with salty caramel flavoring. There will be pillowy salted caramel cold foam and burnt sugar topping, too.
Fans can even pick up a free medium Salted Caramel Cold Brew this July as long as they’re a Dunkin’ Rewards member. Score!
And what better way to enjoy this cold brew comeback than with a doughnut? The Caramel Chocoholic Donut—originally from 2018 and 2019—has exactly as much caramel and chocolate goodness as you think it will. The chocolate glazed doughnut is crowned with caramel icing and chocolate curls to satisfy any chocoholic’s craving.
What Else Is on the Dunkin’ Summer Menu?
Raspberry Watermelon Refresher
Dunkin’ Refreshers are back for summer! The latest addition is the Raspberry Watermelon Refresher—a concoction of two delicious fruity flavors combined with your choice of green tea, coconut milk or lemonade. Mango Pineapple and Strawberry Dragonfruit are still featured from earlier, too.
Turtle Iced Signature Latte
The seasonal drink everyone is talking about? That would be Dunkin’s new Turtle Signature Latte. Available iced or hot, this latte features a smooth espresso combined with whole milk, a crave-worthy combo of Butter Pecan Swirl and Mocha Swirl, topped with whipped cream, caramel drizzle and Cocoa Caramel crumbles. This butter pecan dream sounds too good to be true!
Butter Pecan Doughnut
People are so obsessed with Dunkin’s butter pecan options—as seen in the TikTok above —that the brand decided to create a whole new doughnut for us! The Butter Pecan Doughnut features a classic yeast doughnut filled with delicious butter pecan-flavored buttercream, topped with vanilla icing and a sweet butternut topping. Talk about our new favorite doughnut, hands down.
Butter Pecan Crunch Frozen Coffee
To go with the insanely delicious Butter Pecan Doughnut is a butter pecan beverage, of course! The Butter Pecan Crunch Frozen Coffee blends frozen coffee with Butter Pecan Swirl and Cocoa Caramel sprinkles, along with toppings of whipped cream and even more Cocoa Caramel sprinkles! And for a regular iced coffee, Dunkin’ has fans covered with the return of the Butter Pecan Iced Coffee. Let’s just say, Dunkin’ may have gotten us hooked on all things butter pecan this summer!
Iced Lemon Loaf
We love our Dunkin’ coffee, but we need a snack, too. This tart lemon cake is topped with lemon icing for a truly sweet and artisanal treat.
Ham and Swiss Croissant Stuffers
We don’t know about you, but croissants are one of our favorite breakfast go-to’s. And Dunkin’ just made enjoying our favorite go-to that much easier with this new menu option. The new Ham and Swiss Croissant Stuffers stuff a classic croissant with ham and Swiss cheese, along with sprinkles of shredded cheese. See how Dunkin’ compares to other fast-food breakfast options.
Chorizo & Egg Wrap and Chicken & Roasted Pepper Wrap
The first is a “breakfast sensation” that brings chorizo to the menu, with a wrap full of red peppers, scrambled eggs, chorizo, vegetables, black beans and a spicy cheese sauce. If you love roasted peppers, then the second wrap is perfect for you. This wrap stars chicken, roasted peppers and cheese!
