Sabrina Carpenter works together with coffee chain [Dunkin'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunkin-daydream-refreshers) on a special collaboration comprised of a new iced menu item and a video campaign to join dubbed [Shake That Ess](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-edition-shake). The drink is dubbed the Brown Sugar Shakin' [Espresso](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/short-n-sweet-espresso-martini), which is an icy coffee drink made with inspiration from her single Espresso.

The drink is available to try as of tomorrow and it fuses a bold espresso blended together with brown sugar and oat milk -- this creates a frothy finish and subtly sweet touch. The Shake That Ess video brings the collaboration to life; it is directed by Dave Meyers who also worked on her music video for Espresso. In addition to the drink, Dunkin' is also launching a $5 Meal Deal with two Wake-Up Wraps and a medium coffee.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Retail and Consumer Goods:** Retailers are leveraging celebrity influence to diversify product lines and increase consumer engagement through creative marketing strategies.
