Dunkin’ Spiked Pumpkin Spiced Lattes Go Bad & Boozy
Dunkin’ Spiked Pumpkin Spiced Lattes! As if we needed another reason to get excited for the fall. Dunkin Spiked has already given us a variety of flavors of spiked coffees and iced teas, and now adds the ultimate fall flavor to the lineup – Dunkin’ Spiked Pumpkin Spiced Lattes.
Dunkin’s Spiked Lineup
Before we get to the new fall flavor, let me remind you of the creations Dunkin’ already has out there. They have some spiked teas featuring four signature flavors – Slightly Sweet, Half & Half, Strawberry Dragonfruit Refresher and Mango Pineapple Refresher. They are all 5% ABV (alcohol by volume).
On the coffee side, the Dunkin lineup has an ABV of 6%. It comes in some classic Dunkin’ flavors like Original, Caramel, Mocha and Vanilla. They all come in a 12oz can variety 12 pack.
Ok, now onto the Dunkin Spiked Pumpkin Spiced Lattes.
Dunkin’ Spiked Pumpkin Spiced Lattes Are Here
We here in New England have a pretty serious, even cult-like, obsession with all things pumpkin spice. And add in our other obsession, Dunkin’, swirl in a little alcohol, and and you’ve got a winning combination. Dunkin’ Spiked Pumpkin Spiced Lattes are the latest flavor that the brand has added to their spiked line. It is 6% ABV and is crafted with real coffee, pumpkin spice flavor, and a non-dairy creamer that is both vegan and lactose-intolerant friendly. Dunkin says it’s best enjoyed straight from the can or poured over ice and topped with whipped cream.
Not Boozy, But Brand-New
Dunkin has also introduced some new products from celebrity chef, cookbook author and social media star Nick DiGiovanni. The items are on The Chef Nick Menu. Curated by Chef Nick, the offerings include: Blueberry Donut Iced Coffee with Sweet Cold Foam, Caramel Coconut Cream Iced Coffee, Mocha Vanilla Iced Coffee, and Caramel Almondmilk Iced Coffee.
Hope you enjoy the new Dunkin’ Spiked Pumpkin Spice Lattes.
14 Dunkin' Rules You Must Follow, Or Risk Getting Spit In Your Coffee
"Pay attention in the drive thru line."
Thank you Ilizabeth for this suggestion. “Nobody saying you can’t be on your phone, but don’t be an iPad kid. FOCUS.”
Order ahead on the app! So much easier
Okay, so we all know many of these things can be avoided if you just order ahead on the app. Anna says “There is no reason to hold everyone else up while you order for 4 with 4 completely different configurations and then count out exact change at the window at 7:30 in the morning.”
From a former Drive Thru employee: KNOW WHAT YOU WANT
Savonna says “KNOW WTF YOU WANT” Simple as that. Don’t make everyone behind you (and the employee) wait while you decide if you want jimmies on your donut or cream in your coffee.

If you're ordering more than 2 coffees, you should go inside
This one can be quite controversial. Many can’t go inside because they have kids in the car. However, it would be much faster for those who just have one or two coffees if you took your large order inside OR ordered ahead.

If there's an issue with your order, GO INSIDE TO FIX IT!
Don’t hold up Drive-Thru lines with your order fixing. According to Carlos: “don’t hold the drive thru line while they re do your mocha latte machiado witrh 19 sugars 6 splenda 1 coconut pump , half caramel pump 7/16 pump of lime juice and 11 ice cubes in a small cup.”

Have your money ready!
Another way to keep the line moving: Make sure you have your money ready when you’re in line BEFORE you get to the front.

Don't SCREAM at the Drive Thru speaker before you get there!
Wait until you get UP to the speaker before you speak into it. And DON’T SCREAM! This helps your employees and anyone around you.

If you order food, order that BEFORE your drink
This is one many don’t think of. It gives the workers more time to prepare the food while they’re making your coffee which is faster.
That was from Abby Sohl on Facebook.

Pay it forward when you can
Okay this obviously can’t be done a lot HOWEVER when you have it, share it. You have no idea how much paying it forward can make someone’s day. Try it once.

Big Order? Don't Hit Up the Drive-Thru
Both Gabby and Ashley had things to say on this. If you’ve got a minivan full of the soccer team, ordering 10 things is kind of a middle finger to everyone behind you in the drive thru. Same with complicated orders like “sandwiches for the entire crew.” I think we can agree, max 3 people for a drive thru order.

Be Nice!
Brian has a point, a little kindness goes a long way. “Say thank you, even if you’re just picking up a mobile order app and don’t interact with anyone. Those people are hustling and have a tough job. Be grateful and spread positivity!”

Make Sure Your Window Can Roll Down
Apparently this has happened to someone in front of Kris before. “If you have to open your door at the drive through then just go inside!”
You're a New Englander! Act Like It
Sure, it may be the height of summer right now, but Cher wants to make sure you don’t forget your roots when ordering Dunks in the winter: “Make sure you’re wearing shorts when you go get your iced coffee during a blizzard!”

Another One About the App
We covered app ordering a few tips ago, but Erin wanted to make sure you were aware of one other aspect about the app! “If you’re paying with the app make sure it’s reloaded BEFORE you get in line!”
