Just in time for the official start of summer, Dunkin has debuted a new Kit Kat Coolatta drink. Part-candy bar and part-frozen drink, this icy beverage is the ultimate way to beat the summer heat.
The new Kit Kat Coolatta is the latest addition to Dunkin's ever-expanding Coolatta lineup. The drink starts with the classic Vanilla Bean Coolatta base, which is then blended with real Kit Kat pieces. The result is a vanilla-chocolate shake with the satisfying crunch of wafer cookie pieces.
While the drink is available nationwide as of June 26th, those in New York City can sample the beverage a day early at the Dunkin location at 210 West 38th Street in Manhattan. It is this store that is being transformed into a temporary urban island oasis for New Yorkers in need of a mini vacation.
