Off menu drinks I regularly drink at Dunkin' Donut
Hey Dunkin' lovers! You know how much I adore discovering those hidden gems on the menu, especially when it comes to coffee. While I shared some of my all-time favorite off-menu drinks earlier, I realized we need to dive deeper into the glorious world of custom coffee from Dunkin'. Because let's be real, sometimes the standard menu just doesn't hit that unique craving, right? One of my absolute go-to’s that I can't recommend enough, especially if you love a touch of sweetness and nostalgia, is the Blueberry Muffin Iced Coffee. It's surprisingly easy to order! You simply ask for a regular iced coffee (your preferred size and milk) and then add a vanilla bean shot and a blueberry shot. The combination genuinely tastes like a liquid blueberry muffin, with that creamy vanilla undertone. It's a game-changer for anyone who finds plain coffee a bit too bitter but doesn't want something overly sweet like a caramel swirl. I usually go for oat milk with this one, as it adds a lovely creaminess that complements the fruitiness. Beyond the blueberry wonder, there are so many other ways to elevate your Dunkin' coffee experience. Have you ever tried customizing your Cold Brew? It’s already amazing on its own, but adding a pump of toasted almond or hazelnut can create a whole new flavor profile. For a richer, dessert-like coffee, I sometimes combine a mocha swirl with a pump of raspberry or even a little coconut flavor – it's like a chocolate-covered raspberry truffle or a tropical mocha! Don't be afraid to mix and match. Another fantastic hack for iced coffee is playing with the espresso shots. Instead of just a regular iced coffee, ask for an iced latte and then experiment with flavor shots. For instance, a Cinnamon Vanilla Latte (just vanilla shots and cinnamon powder, if available, or a cinnamon swirl if they have it) is a cozy delight. Or, for a refreshing twist, try adding a pump of peppermint to your mocha latte – perfect for a cool pick-me-up. And speaking of treats, while not strictly coffee, the Frozen Chocolate Covered Strawberry (frozen hot chocolate with strawberry coolatta syrup) is a fantastic coffee-alternative dessert drink for those who love rich chocolate with a fruity kick. It's decadent and definitely tastes like a special occasion. My best advice for ordering these off-menu creations? Be clear and confident! Baristas are usually happy to make your custom drink, especially if you know the exact ingredients. Just remember the base drink (iced coffee, cold brew, latte) and then list your flavor shots or swirls. It makes their job easier and ensures you get exactly what you're craving. So next time you're at Dunkin', don't just stick to the usual. Get adventurous with your coffee order and unlock a whole new world of deliciousness!
