Dunkin’s New Summer Menu Is So Stacked I Don’t Know Where to Start

Dunkin’ just launched its new summer menu today, and it’s so packed with shiny new drinks, it hurts to look directly at it. I did my best to break it down.

And yes, before we start, dirty soda is involved—but for those of you who wish the dirty soda trend would be less involved in all things (same, bestie), don’t fret. There’s a ton of exciting new things here that have nothing to do with The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Promise.

New Dunkin’ Refreshers 

It’s out with the old (creamy banana), in with the new (tart, crisp cherry). Yep. Their flavor for the summer is black cherry. RIP, banana. Maybe we’ll see you next spring. 

• Black Cherry Refresher: you can order this with any base!
• Cherry Lime Rickey Refresher: black cherry blended with Dunkin’s new limeade
• Cherry Daydream Refresher: black cherry mixed with oat milk and topped with Sweet Cold Foam
• Very Cherry Daydream Refresher: Daydream Refresher blended with a bolder cherry flavor (this also has a hint of toasted almond)
• Cherry Protein Daydream Refresher: black cherry with protein milk, topped with Sweet Cold Foam

As a cherry apologist, I’m living.

New Dunkin’ Limeade Refreshers

Lemonade? Puh-lease. Boring. Who even drinks that anymore? Losers, that’s who. This summer is all about limeade, obviously. Anyone who’s anyone knows that.

I’m going to list Dunkin’s new Limeade Refreshers for you, but don’t ask me to describe them, okay? It’s in the name. It’s in. The name. 

• Classic Limeade
• Matcha Limeade
• Raspberry Limeade
• Strawberry Dragonfruit Limeade
• Coconut Limeade

Everyone, meet Dunkin’s summer OREO beverages. 

This is, inarguably, the most exciting part of the whole roll-out. Here’s what we’re getting:

• OREO Cloud Latte: espresso, whole milk, and a chocolate cookie swirl topped with Marshmallow Cold Foam and OREO cookie crumbles
• OREO Matcha: matcha, whole milk, and vanilla topped with Marshmallow Cold Foam and OREO cookie crumbles 
• OREO Coolatta (returning): this frosty Vanilla Bean Coolatta blended with OREO cookie crumbles is back, b*tches
• OREO Coffee Chiller: frozen blended coffee with cream and chocolate cookie swirls, topped with whipped cream and OREO cookie crumbles

Also, along with the OREO Matcha, we’re also getting a new Vanilla Marshmallow Matcha. Is this just a matcha latte with vanilla and Dunkin’s returning Marshmallow Cold Foam? Yeah. Am I still excited to try it? Duh. 

New Dunkin’ Cloud Lattes

Ugh, doesn’t “Cloud Latte” sound divine? I know this is just Dunkin’s way of adding Marshmallow Cold Foam to everything, but I can’t help it. I’m under their spell. I want to sip on a cloud. 

• Marshmallow Cloud Dunkalatte: espresso, coffee milk, and Marshmallow Cold Foam
• Nutty Marshmallow Cloud Dunkalatte: espresso, coffee milk, hazelnut, and Marshmallow Cold Foam
• Rocky Road Cloud Latte: espresso, milk, chocolate cookie swirl, toasted almond flavor, and Marshmallow Cold Foam

By the way: Dunkin’ Coffee Chillers are now made with less sugar. 

Dunkin’ took your feedback, fam. Their frozen coffees, while still highly customizable, are going to taste a little less sweet. Along with the new OREO Coffee Chiller, you can order these other two set flavors:

• Caramel Creme Coffee Chiller: She’s beauty. She’s grace. She’s a frozen coffee blended with caramel and vanilla, topped with whipped cream and a lovely caramel drizzle that’s bound to do numbers on social media. (Calling that one now.) 
• Triple Mocha Coffee Chiller: blended frozen coffee with bold mocha flavoring, topped with whipped cream and a dark mocha drizzle

But like I said, these are still customizable, so you can also get a Coffee Chiller with any dairy or flavor you want. 

Okay, let’s talk about the new Dunkin’ Dirty Soda.  

So. This is basically just Pepsi mixed with Dunkin’s coffee milk and topped with Sweet Cold Foam. Which sounds more like a melted float to me than a dirty soda, since it’s missing the citrus. I hate that I know so much about dirty soda, but it really isn’t dirty soda without a splash of lime or citrus. 

You know what also isn’t a dirty soda? Anything with coffee in it. Dirty sodas exist because Mormons aren’t supposed to drink coffee. And Dunkin’s coffee milk is basically sweet milk with coffee extract. Actually, the more I find out about this, the more I appreciate this bastardization of the trend. Hmm…

Will I order it? Probably. I love cola floats. And I’m notorious for ordering coffee beverages with soda in them whenever a coffee shop has one on the menu. They always taste horrible, but in the moment it seems like a good idea. (Bitter coffee and soda do not mix well, my friends.) But the coffee extract is probably super mild in Dunkin’s version, which might be exactly what I’ve been searching for all along. Wait, will Dunkin’s Dirty Soda become my favorite new drink on the menu? Oh, no…

Oh, and before I forget: We’re getting new donuts!

And they’re really colorful! I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing! But it’s certainly a thing! 

• Fruit Punch Donut: classic donut coated in fruit punch-flavored icing and fruit punch sprinkles
• Fruit Punch Munchkins: Blueberry Cake Munchkins coated in a fruit punch sprinkles

I will be on the fence about these until I try them for myself. I’m afraid they will taste like cereal, and I’m not a cereal donut gal. Anyways, what are YOU excited to try… and what will you probably avoid? Lemme know in the comments. Toodles!
