3 min read- Dunkin’ launched a summer menu featuring new cherry-based Refreshers, limeade drinks, and Coffee Chillers.
- We tried four standout items, with the Cherry Lime Rickey and Matcha Limeade as favorites.
- The Oreo Coffee Chiller leans dessert-heavy, while the Daydream Refresher offers a creamier take on the trend.
Summer doesn’t officially begin until June 21, but Dunkin’ is celebrating early with its brand-new seasonal menu. The chain is now offering a limited-time lineup that includes several new fruit-forward Refreshers, dessert-inspired drinks, and a brand-new donut.
The indisputable star of the menu is Black Cherry, which appears in multiple drinks. The flavor takes center stage in the biggest new Refreshers: the Cherry Daydream and the Cherry Lime Rickey. Dunkin’ is also introducing a new limeade base, which opens the door for more tart, summer-appropriate sips like the Matcha Limeade.
Beyond Refreshers, Dunkin’ is expanding its frozen lineup with the all-new Coffee Chillers. These drinks reimagine the chain’s frozen coffee with a smooth, creamy treat that can be made with any dairy base. Coffee Chillers are available in three indulgent flavors: caramel, mocha, and Oreo. (America’s favorite cookie also appears in three other limited-time drinks.)
Dunkin’ is also hopping on the Dirty Soda train with its own version, which mixes Pepsi with coffee milk and cold foam. And to round out the menu, the chain is also debuting a new fruit punch-inspired donut flavor available as a full-sized treat and in Munchkin form.
Overwhelmed with all of the new offerings? We don’t blame you. To make your ordering experience a little easier, we tried a few standout drinks from the summer menu. Here’s what you should know before your next Dunkin’ run.
Cherry Daydream Refresher
The Cherry Daydream Refresher is the most unique drink in this new menu lineup. It blends black cherry flavor with oat milk and finishes with sweet, cold foam, giving it a softer, creamier profile than a typical Refresher. Aside from the cherry notes, the exact flavor is honestly a little hard to identify.
But what we can confirm is that this Refresher is smooth, slightly sweet, and very easy to drink. The flavor is also available as a Very Cherry Daydream Refresher (which supposedly brings even bolder cherry flavor) and a version that uses the chain’s protein milk.
Cherry Lime Rickey Refresher
The Cherry Lime Rickey Refresher has a much more familiar flavor, evoking memories of an old school soda fountain. The same Black Cherry flavor is paired with Dunkin’s new limeade base. When they’re mixed together, you get a bright, tart sip that doesn’t taste too sweet. We can see ourselves drinking this all summer long.
Matcha Limeade
Limeade lovers aren’t just limited to cherry. Dunkin’s new base can be combined with flavors like raspberry, coconut, strawberry dragonfruit, and—most notably—matcha.
The Matcha Limeade seems like an unexpected pairing, but it really works. The matcha adds an earthy note to the drink, while the lime keeps everything light and refreshing. Think of it as a 2026 version of a classic Arnold Palmer. It doesn’t lean overly sweet, which is likely why it ended up as a favorite among Delish editors.
Oreo Coffee Chiller
The last drink we tried was the Oreo Coffee Chiller, which tastes more like dessert than coffee. The texture is similar to a Coolatta, but smoother, with a thicker, blended consistency. The flavor is very sweet and coffee-forward, almost like a milkshake with a caffeine boost. It didn’t win us over as much as the other drinks we tasted, but it’s definitely a fun (and indulgent) addition to the Dunkin’ menu.
We may still have to wait a couple of months until summer. But if Dunkin’s fun, refreshing new menu is any indication of what’s to come, we have a lot to look forward to.
