I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Dunkin’ Donuts. I received a Dunkin’ Donuts Party Kit to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.
I have loved coffee for as long as I can remember. My parents always drank it every morning and eventually I started drinking it as well. When I was in high school, we had a Dunkin’ Donuts coffee shop right down the street from our house. My best friend and I used to look forward to going there on Saturday mornings for breakfast. When the coffee shop went out of business, I was really bummed out. Now we no longer have a Dunkin’ Donuts near us, so I have had to resort to buying Dunkin’ Donuts coffee at the store.
I have always liked Dunkin’ Donuts coffee. I have tried a lot of different brands and I think Dunkin’ Donuts has the best flavor. I usually just buy the Original blend, but recently I had the opportunity to try out Dunkin’ Donuts new seasonal flavors — Coconut, Triple Berry, and Strawberry Shortcake. I wasn’t so sure I would like the flavored varieties, but I couldn’t wait to try them out!
Dunkin’ Donuts sent us everything we needed to have a coffee-inspired party, including all three of the new flavors to try and goodie bags for my guests filled with coffee, tumblers, and coupons. Since Mother’s Day was this past weekend, I decided to have an afternoon barbeque accompanied by some Dunkin’ Donuts iced coffee. My parents, sisters, nieces and in-laws all came, along with a couple of my girlfriends.
It was a hot day, so I was glad I made iced coffee for my guests to enjoy. I made all three of the seasonal flavors using the iced coffee recipe that was sent to me in my party kit. Everyone agreed that the new flavors were delicious! The overall consensus was that the Coconut flavor was the best, followed by Strawberry Shortcake. A couple of people liked Triple Berry the best. I’m pretty sure everyone at my party was already a Dunkin’ Donuts fan, but now even more so!
I tried all three flavors and have to say that Coconut was my favorite, although I thought they were all yummy! I was really surprised at how good they were. The flavors reminded me of summer and how much I love iced coffee on hot summer days!

I'm not a big coffee drinker, but my husband is. I love the flavors - great for the spring and summer. They sound delicious!
