Dunkin' is getting a head start on spring with the debut of a whole host of new caramel-infused beverages, including the new Salted Caramel Cream Cold Brew.
As part of the brand's seasonal lineup, Dunkin' has unveiled three sweet new spring beverages. The first is the Salted Caramel Cream Cold Brew, which consists of slow-steeped cold brew coffee blended with rich salted caramel flavor, and topped with creamy, Salted Caramel Cold Foam. Next up is the Salted Caramel Signature Latte, which combines rich espresso with creamy milk and salted caramel flavor, and tops the whole thing off with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and cinnamon sugar. Lastly, there's the festive Shamrock Macchiato, which combines espresso with creamy Irish Creme flavor to create a bright green drink with the flavor profile of Irish whiskey.
All three of the new spring beverages are available from participating Dunkin' locations from February 23 through March 22, 2022.
