Dunkin' Donuts South Korea is Serving Up Drinks Made with Flavored Ice Cubes

— September 5, 2016 — Lifestyle
Dunkin' Donuts South Korea is currently serving up a selection of 'Cube Beverages' made with flavored ice cubes.

This donut chain has solved the problem of watery drinks, but adding infused cubes to its iced coffees.

The Cube Beverages from Dunkin' Donuts South Korea consist of cold drinks made with flavored ice cubes. Many of the coffee-based drinks are made with coffee ice cubes and milk ice cubes that enhance the flavor of the drink as they melt. The chain also offers a Sparkling Lime Cube drink made with citrus-flavored ice cubes.

While the Cube Beverages are currently limited to the chain's South Korean locations, the ingenious drink format may soon catch on stateside.
