How did the Dunkin Spiked Iced Coffees and Iced Teas come about?
In a press release announcing the Dunkin Spiked Iced Coffees and Iced Teas, Brian Gilbert, Vice President of Retail Business Development at Dunkin, revealed that the idea for this new line of ready-to-drink alcoholic beverages surfaced after they saw the success of the Dunkin-inspired beers.
“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.”
