A clever play on a classic golf pun, the new Tee drinks combine iced black tea with fruity flavors to create refreshing summertime sippers. The new Peach Tee Dunkin' Zero pairs iced black tea with a [zero-sugar energy drink](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arctic-cherry-dunkin-energy) and sweet peach flavors. On the other hand, the new Raspberry Tee Lemonade combines ice black tea with lemonade and raspberry flavors. Both of the drinks are technically limited-time offerings, however, they can be custom-ordered off the brand's regular menu. To celebrate the new drinks, the brand ran a promotion for a free Tee Cup Holder on Thursday, June 18, for guests who purchased any beverage at participating Dunkin’ restaurants.
