Sweet Pink Velvet Lattes

Dunkin's New Pink Velvet Signature Latte Tastes Like Red Velvet Cake

— February 2, 2020 — Lifestyle
With Valentine's Day just around the corner, Dunkin' has debuted two sweet new drinks: the Pink Velvet Macchiato and the Pink Velvet Signature Latte.

As you might have guessed from the name, both the Pink Velvet Macchiato and Pink Velvet Signature Latte are inspired by the classic Valentine's Day dessert, red velvet cake. The Pink Velvet Signature Latte starts with Dunkin’s signature espresso, which is swirled with sweet red velvet cake flavoring, and then topped with whipped cream, chocolate powder, and a rich mocha drizzle. Similarly, the Pink Velvet Macchiato blends the chain’s espresso with red velvet cake flavor, but adds hints of cream cheese icing. According to Dunkin's press release, "when served iced, it creates a colorful pink-layered look for the perfect photo."
