“Missed opportunity to call them ‘Drunkin’”: Dunkin’ Spiked coffee and tea line-up spark hilarious reactions online

If you prefer your coffee and tea a little boozy, Dunkin’ could be your next destination as the chain unveils a new Dunkin’ Spiked lineup.

Approved by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) in May 2023, Dunkin’s Spiked beverages are yet to be launched. However, the under-construction website for the label hints at four variants each for the spiked coffee and tea drinks. While spiked coffee drinks are reported to contain over 6% alcohol by volume (ABV), the spiked tea options come with a 5% ABV.

As always, not everyone was impressed or confident enough about a caffeinated alcoholic drink. Alcohol and caffeine don't always go very well together; mixing the two can often cause caffeine to take over the depressant effects of alcohol causing a person to feel overly alert.

Though it may not feel as bad in the beginning, it could have some serious consequences once the caffeine wears out. All things considered, it may not be a wise idea to have too many of them on a single go.
