Kahlúa Dunkin' Caramel Swirl Cream Liqueur is the latest addition to Kahlúa’s permanent line of liqueurs, and Dunkin’s very first foray into cream liqueur introduces an even sweeter way to make coffee cocktails like the espresso martini and more. With indulgent notes of toffee, vanilla and dulce de leche and hints of coffee and chocolate, the cream liqueur unites Dunkin’s Caramel Swirl with Kahlúa’s rum and 100% Arabica coffee from Veracruz, Mexico.
“This collaboration blends premium indulgence with everyday coffee culture,” expressed Brian Gilbert, Vice President of Retail Business Development, Dunkin’, in a press release. True to this, the Kahlúa Dunkin’ Caramel Swirl Cream Liqueur is easy to enjoy since it can be sipped neat, chilled or over ice—but to make it even more decadent, it can be topped with a Munchkins Donut Hole Treat.
