Dunkin’, the foremost name in coffee and donuts, has unleased a new batch of adult beverages, many of which feature a boozy twist on their popular drinks. These new Dunkin’ beverages are Dunkin’ Spiked Iced Coffees and Iced Teas, and they will be available starting in late August, 2023, with distribution across 12 states.
Coffee and Tea With a Kick
Dunkin’ first experimented with alcoholic beverages when it teamed up with Harpoon Brewery a few years back. The result was four different beers, each with a donut and/or fall seasonal theme and flavor. The success of this partnership convinced Dunkin to continue its alcoholic beverage market presence, this time with beverages that coincide with its traditional product offerings rather than beer. Brian Gilbert, Vice President of Retail Business and Development at Dunkin’, explains.
“We knew we had the opportunity to create something special when we saw the positive response to our previous seasonal collaborations for Dunkin’-inspired beers. The growing appetite for adult beverages inspired us to put a twist on our customers’ favorite Dunkin’ Iced Coffee, Iced Tea and Refresher flavors,” said Gilbert. “Dunkin’ Spiked is perfect for day or night enjoyment and comes in eight distinct flavors, available in grocery and package stores later this month. This new line of ready-to-drink adult beverages elevates Dunkin’s offerings, and we know our 21+ fans will love every sip.”
Spiked Coffee and Tea
On the coffee side, Dunkin’ Spiked Iced Coffees each contain 6% alcohol by volume and are based on the company’s iconic coffee flavors. Dunkin’ Spiked Iced Tea options each contain 5% alcohol by volume and are offered in four different flavors.

Get Your Dunkin’ Spiked Beverages
Dunkin’ scored a good deal of success when it released its donut themed beers in 2020. Since the business is better known for coffee and tea, it makes perfect sense that Dunkin’ would continue its foray into alcoholic beverages with fermented versions of these two beverages. We at Great Beer Now have sampled several of these spiked teas and coffees and we find them refreshing more than anything, even though they are all rather sweet.
If you want to try Dunkin’ Spiked Iced Teas, they will be available first, in grocery and package stores, beginning in late August, 2023. Dunkin’ Spiked Iced Coffees will make their way to retail outlets starting in early September. Distribution is somewhat limited. The states to which these beverages will be shipped include Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas and Vermont. Unfortunately, you cannot get any of these spiked coffees or teas in Dunkin’ Restaurant locations. They will be available only in stores.

Interesting new offerings. I don’t go to Dunkin’, but if I did, I would try this out.
Coffee is my daily drink. I truly want to try that want I have the chance. Looks good and it doesn’t take my time to make a cup, lol.
Wow, it’s great to see Dunkin’ continuing to experiment with alcoholic beverages after the success of their donut-themed beers last year. It’s wise to stick with their core products like coffee and tea, and I’m curious to try their spiked versions. Despite their sweetness, I’m glad to hear that Great Beer Now found them refreshing. It’s a shame they won’t be available in Dunkin’ Restaurant. Still, I’m excited to pick up some Dunkin’ Spiked Iced Teas and Coffees from my local grocery store when they become available in late August and early September.
This is cool to have a coffee with beer., I never tried it with that way but since I’m a coffee person, I would love to do it.
