With the weather getting cooler and Halloween just around the corner, Dunkin' is brewing up some tasty new offerings for the spooky season, including the striking new Potion Macchiato.
Set to debut on October 16, 2024, Dunkin's new Halloween lineup includes a brand-new drink and plenty of sweet treats. The star of the menu is the new Potion Macchiato drink, which is available hot or iced and features a unique blend of espresso swirled with marshmallow and ube flavors, along with a purple-colored macchiato mix. The result is a two-toned purple and black drink that truly does look like a witch's potion.
Alongside the new drink, Dunkin' will also be serving up the Halloween Sprinkle Takeover donut, the Spider Donut, and the 50-piece Halloween Munchkin Bucket.
