The [Dunkin'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunkin-daydream-refreshers) SPARKD’ Energy drinks are a new range of refreshments from the cafe brand to provide customers with an alternative way to boost their alertness without having to opt for traditional coffees. The iced drinks will deliver a [boost to energy levels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pwrbru) thanks to the caffeine in the mix alongside vitamins and minerals to give them a delicious yet beneficial profile. The drinks come in two [sparkling flavors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/functional-beverage-category) including Berry Burst with notes of raspberry and strawberry alongside Peach Sunshine that has lychee and peach notes in the mix.

The Dunkin' SPARKD’ Energy drinks are being launched at the perfect time to coincide with the impending end of winter and the arrival of springtime when consumers will no doubt be craving alternatives to coffee.
