As hard working collegiettes, there is nothing better in the world than a nice caffeinated beverage to get you started in the morning or to pick you up in the afternoon. Those of us who run on Dunkin love to purchase coffee from their wide-ranging menu of choices. The company even claims that there are 15,000 different ways to order coffee! We decided to compile a list of our favorite iced caffeinated combinations you can enjoy.
Iced Coffee
You can spice up any iced coffee with either a flavor shot or a flavor swirl. The flavor shots are unsweetened, whereas the flavor swirls come presweetened. Some of our favorite flavor shots are hazelnut and toasted coconut. Or if you are feeling fruity, you can always try the blueberry shot. The two flavor swirls, mocha and caramel, are sweetened to the extent where extra sugar isn’t necessary. But if you like your coffee extra sweet, all the power to you!
If you need an extra caffeinated boost, ask for a Turbo Shot in your next iced coffee. This is essentially just a shot of espresso added to your drink and it also adds a rich flavor to your coffee.
Dunkin recently started to offer almond milk as another alternative to other choices such as cream, whole milk and skim milk.
We asked Her Campus Conn writer, Sarah Parker, how she likes to take her Dunkin iced coffee, and she said “light and sweet,” which is extra cream and sugar.
Iced Latte
If you are feeling fancy, or just want to be different, you can opt for an iced latte. This drink is composed of milk and a shot of espresso. It can even be ordered with almond milk if you have dietary restrictions!
The iced latte tastes best with a mocha or caramel flavor swirl. You can also add a turbo shot to the iced latte; just specify that you want an additional shot of espresso since the drink already comes with one. You can even top this one off with whipped cream!
Iced Macchiato
Dunkin’s newest addition is the iced macchiato. This drink is presented with the milk added to the cup first and then topped with a double shot of espresso. Unlike the latte, you can see the layers between the milk and the espresso. This also tastes amazing with a mocha or caramel flavor swirl!
However you take your coffee, we hope it gives you the boost you need to conquer classes and win the week! Happy working collegiettes!
