Dunkin' recently gave its coffee a boozy twist by hosting an exclusive Ray's Runs On Dunkin' pop-up in NYC.
In late October, Dunkin' hosted a pop-up bar at a beloved Lower East Side bar called Ray's. The pop-up was dubbed Ray's Runs On Dunkin' and it aimed to promote Dunkin's new lineup of spiked coffee and tea drinks. To showcase how Dunkin' coffee pairs perfectly with alcohol, the pop-up served 'Dunkintinis,' which is the brand's take on an espresso martini. This clever cocktail combined Dunkin’ Cold Brew with Absolut Elyx Vodka, espresso liqueur, and simple syrup. The whole thing was then topped off with a Munchkin donut hole garnish on the rim.
Other drinks on the Ray's Runs On Dunkin' pop-up menu included the Dunkin’ Drunkin’ Pum’kin and Dunkin’ Hazelnut Freeze.
