Drawing on the [bubble tea aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-berry-refreshers) with their light pastel colors, the Coconut Refreshers are bursting with tropical flavor that capitalizes on the revitalizing taste of coconut. The restorative beverages combine the nutty taste of coconut milk with fruit flavors and B vitamins for a summer-friendly way to keep up with the heat or take a moment to cool down. Dunkin' Donuts also released its Coconutmilk Iced Latte alongside the Coconut Refreshers. These new drinks are designed to meet the increasing demand for dairy alternatives as the food and drink industries move toward more sustainable methods of production.
