Summer @ Dunkins

Okay, so I had to come back and spill the beans about this Lava Colada drink I spotted at Dunkin'! You know how I mentioned wanting to try it? Well, I've been doing a little digging (and maybe a little dreaming!) about what makes this new summer treat so special. First off, the sound of "Lava Colada" just screams tropical getaway, right? From what I gathered from the ad, it's a Baskin-Robbins collaboration, which immediately ups the ante for me. We're talking about a blend of pineapple, coconut, and strawberry – basically a vacation in a cup! I can just imagine that sweet, tangy pineapple hitting first, followed by the creamy, tropical notes of coconut, all rounded out by a hint of juicy strawberry. It sounds like the perfect balance of refreshing and indulgent, exactly what you need on a blazing hot summer day. What makes it even more exciting is that Baskin-Robbins touch. I'm picturing it having that signature creamy texture, maybe like a smoothie but even richer because of the ice cream. I'm already thinking about potential customizations – maybe adding a shot of espresso for a little kick, or perhaps even trying it with a different ice cream flavor if that's an option. Although, honestly, the classic pineapple, coconut, and strawberry combo sounds pretty perfect as is. Beyond just the Lava Colada, Dunkin' has always been my go-to for summer sips and treats. While I'm still obsessing over the thought of trying this new drink, I can't forget my all-time summer staples. My usual iced coffee with skim and butter pecan flavoring is a daily ritual, but those seasonal s'mores lattes and s'mores donuts? Pure bliss! They bring back all those cozy bonfire memories, even when it’s 90 degrees outside. And let's not forget the other yummy bites they offer. The thought of pairing a refreshing Lava Colada with a flaky Dunkin’ croissant or even one of their classic sprinkled donuts sounds like the ultimate summer snack. I even saw an Iced Strawberry Lemon box in the ad – another delicious option if you're looking for something lighter and fruitier. Seriously, if calories and money weren't a thing, I'd probably be living on their Pralines and Cream ice cream and trying every single summer drink they release! This Lava Colada has definitely piqued my interest, and I'm making it my mission to try it next time I'm there. So, for those of you who've already tried the Lava Colada, what did you think? Is it as good as it sounds? Or what other Dunkin' summer drinks are you loving right now? I'm always looking for new recommendations!
