Forget bed rotting season, summer is now get-up-and-go season—at least, according to Dunkin’s latest spokesperson, Paige DeSorbo. The popular podcaster and Summer House cast member teamed up with Dunkin’ to debut a new limited-time addition to its Dunkin’ Refresher lineup.
Dunkin’ Refreshers come in flavors like Strawberry Dragonfruit and Mango Pineapple. You can customize them with your choice of green tea, lemonade, sparkling water, water, black tea, or oatmilk as a base. The latest drop, the Pink Spritz Refresher, is a “fizzy, fruit-forward blend of guava, orange, and passion fruit flavors with a splash of sparkling water,” according to a press release from Dunkin’.
The drink is like a modern fruit soda. It’s sweet like a soda but not overpoweringly so, as can be the case when using artificial sweeteners. Instead, the subtle effervescence provides a nice (and necessary) contrast to the sweet fruit flavors in the drink. The most prominent taste is guava, chased by the passionfruit. Surprisingly, it gives me a super slight grapefruit vibe, which I enjoy. I can envision this being a good alternative to your classic iced tea this summer(house) season when you want a little extra pep in your step, but are also looking for something a little more fun and unique.
DeSorbo describes the drink as “bright, refreshing, and juicy, because it’s just very flavorful in your mouth and really does give you that summer refresh.” She continues, exclusively telling Delish that for summertime, it’s the ideal drink. “You can’t have a coffee because I can’t put milk inside of anything right now. So you need a refresher,” she tells me. Plus, “I love when I’m out and a drink matches my outfit,” she notes of the drink’s bold pink color. “Dunkin’ really nailed it with that.”
Best of all, during the summer, you can snag a medium Refresher for just $3. Not bad considering it can even get the infamous homebody DeSorbo out of bed.
