Dunkin' 'spiked' alcoholic drinks now in New York
CHICAGO (WGN) — Dunkin's new alcohol line is now available in two dozen states with more to come. The company said their spiked iced coffees and ice teas—called "Dunkin' Spiked"—are the "perfect daytime or evening drinks that you can enjoy year-round."
The iced teas have 5% alcohol by volume (ABV) and come in slightly sweet, half-and-half, strawberry dragonfruit and mango pineapple flavors. The iced coffees have 6% ABV and come in original, caramel, mocha and vanilla flavors.
The spiked drinks, meant for the 21+ crowd, are available in Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin, according to the Dunkin' Spiked website. They will also arrive in Louisiana, Virginia and Indiana this year, the company says, with more states to come.
"We knew our customers would be excited about an adult twist on their favorite Dunkin' drinks, but the response was overwhelmingly positive, leading to unprecedented demand," Brian Gilbert, vice president of Retail Business Development at Dunkin', previously said in a statement. "We've been working hard to meet that demand and are starting the year strong by doubling our retail footprint across the country."
The company is also offering a sweepstakes to win Dunkin' Spiked, regular Dunkin' coffee, gift cards, $1,000 or swag packs. The drinks are being sold at a variety of retailers.
