Following in the footsteps of brands such as Starbucks and Krispy Kreme, Caribou Coffee has released a line-up of ready-to-drink lattes called Caribou Premium Iced Coffee. With a growing number of consumers looking for beverages that can be enjoyed on the go, these bottled coffee drinks help consumers transport their favorite iced lattes.
