Ready or not, the world is learning about Dunkin’ Donuts' intentions to launch new beverages that are sure to give others in the spiked beverage market like Bud Light (BUD) -) and White Claw a run for their money.
Last week, VinePair was quick to notice while perusing through the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau database, that Dunkin’ was putting out new spiked beverages. The press release from Dunkin’ hasn’t even happened yet, but there is a website that is up and running: DunkinSpiked.com!
“Dunkin’ is brewing up something special (and spiked) for adult iced coffee and iced tea lovers,” said a Dunkin’ representative to TODAY. “While we can’t confirm any new additions to Dunkin’s lineup of ready-to-drink products at this time, stay tuned for more news soon!”

The company clearly wasn’t 100% ready to go public with its announcement, but it’s out there nonetheless and Dunkin' fans seem pretty psyched, and concerned.

The spiked lineup includes teas and coffees. The Dunkin’ Spiked Tea flavors will include a slightly sweet iced tea, half & half iced tea, strawberry dragonfruit iced tea, and mango pineapple iced tea. The spiked iced teas are 5% ABV and be sold in a mixed pack. The Dunkin' Spiked Slightly Sweet Iced Tea will also be sold in a single 19.2 oz. can, and in a 6-pack of 12 oz. cans.
The spiked iced coffees will include classic Dunkin’ coffee flavors, original, caramel, mocha and vanilla. The rich and creamy ready-to-drink spiked coffees come in at a boozy 6% ABV and will be sold in a mixed pack. The original spiked iced coffee will also be sold as a single 19.2 oz. can and as a 4-pack of 12 oz. cans.
Dunkin' is partnering with Boston's Harpoon Brewery to make the malt beverages.
There is no official date for when these drinks will hit the market.
