Step away, pumpkin spice latte, because a new fall staple has just arrived. Dunkin' has teamed up with popular rapper Ice Spice to launch a new fall coffee product, because you can't spell pumpkin spice without "Ice." The drink is also inspired by Dunkin's beloved Munchkins donut holes, so yes, there's a new fall staple in town.
The new drink, called Ice Spice Munchkins Drink, was announced on September 12 during the MTV VMAs via an ad starring Ice Spice (real name is Isis Gaston) and everyone's favorite Dunkin' stan Ben Affleck. In the 30-second spot, the 23-year-old rapper opens up about his new collaboration with the Oscar winner and Dunkin' brand ambassador. "I'm a Duncan girl," Ice Spice told Affleck. She pointed out all the reasons to partner with the brand — not only does her name evoke an icy version of everyone's favorite seasonal drink (PSL), but her fans are also known for her hit song "Munch (Feelin') And being called the Munchkins "U)" went viral quickly. It all made sense, so before Affleck tried rapping to create a viral sensation, she suggested the actor's name for the drink.
As the name suggests, the Ice Spice Munchkins drink mixes pumpkin Munchkins cake slices with frozen Dunkin' coffee, which means if you end up trading in your precious PSL for an Ice Spice-approved drink, you can still get your pumpkin fix one way or another full. This may sound like an odd pairing, but think of cake slices as a unique take on the texture of cookies and cream. Finally, top the drink with whipped cream and caramel drizzle, and it's a drink fit for a princess.
The collaboration was first teased on September 10 when Dunkin' posted a photo of a munchkin wearing Ice Spice's signature "Princess" chain with the caption, "Putting ice cubes in pumpkin spice." . If you had any doubts about whether the rapper was here to stay, the Iced Spice Munchkins drink marks the first time Dunkin' has combined coffee with the classic donut hole — one of the many she's likely to break in her career One of the records. Ha ha.
Iced spiced munchkin drinks join Dunkin’’s fall menu lineup along with nutty pumpkin coffee and, of course, the pumpkin spice signature latte. If you want to take your pumpkin goodness even further, you can also choose from pumpkin cake donuts, pumpkin muffins, or pair your drink with the Pumpkin Munchkins that inspired it all.
Ice Spice Munchkins drinks will be available for a limited time at Dunkin' stores nationwide starting September 13, while supplies last.
