The Dunkin’ Refreshers Drink Mix Features Energy from Green Tea
Michael Hemsworth — March 20, 2026 — Lifestyle
The Dunkin’ Refreshers Drink Mix has been created through a partnership with Jel Sert as a ready-to-mix drink product inspired by the cafe brand's signature fruit-forward refreshment drink menu. The drink mix comes packaged in single-serve sachets to maximize ease of mixing and are formulated with zero sugar alongside a modest 80mg of caffeine sourced from green tea. The drink mixes come in four familiar flavor profiles inspired by the original beverage range including Mango Pineapple, Strawberry Dragonfruit Lemonade, Kiwi Watermelon and Peach Passion Fruit Lemonade.
The Dunkin’ Refreshers Drink Mix comes in packs of 40 single-serve sticks to build on the popularity of powdered beverage mixes that can be enjoyed from home, but also brought virtually anywhere for quick consumption.
