Dunkin’ Just Dropped A New Sabrina Carpenter Refresher

At long last, summer has finally arrived — and by summer, I mean the Dunkin’ summer menu, which officially drops today and brings us ice cream coffee drinks, 4th of July-inspired donuts, and apparently a brand new collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter. Last time Dunkin’ collaborated with Sabrina Carpenter, we got the late Christmas gift that was the Brown Sugar Shakin’ Espresso. And now she’s back to help us kick off summer vacation, gracing the Dunkin’ menus with Sabrina’s Strawberry Daydream Refresher and our social media pages with a sweet, slightly sultry retro drink ad. This is not a summer heat wave-induced fever dream — the Sabrina Carpenter Refresher is a real Dunkin’ deal.

What does Sabrina’s Strawberry Daydream Refresher taste like?

If you’re a strawberries and cream fan, then this is the refresher for you (something out of your wildest dreams even?). Sabrina’s Refresher mixes strawberry flavoring with oat milk, and is complete with a cold foam topper for even more creaminess. Dunkin’ has deemed Sabrina’s Strawberry Daydream Refresher their “creamiest Refresher” yet, promising “a sip that’s rich yet refreshingly light.” The drink’s flavor and name appear to be inspired by Carpenter’s unreleased song, “Strawberry Moon.”

To advertise Sabrina’s Refresher, Dunkin’ has released a very pink, retro-themed clip on social media featuring Carpenter answering calls as an old-fashioned operator to the “Dunkin’ Daydream Hotline.” Her solution to her caller’s problems? Sabrina’s Strawberry Daydream Refresher, of course. 

When can you get Sabrina’s Strawberry Daydream Refresher?

There’s no need to daydream about getting your hands on this drink, because it’s out today, June 25. If you’re a Dunkin’ rewards member, you can get a medium Strawberry Daydream Refresher (or any refresher, for that matter) for $3. 

What else is on the Dunkin’ summer menu?

While Sabrina’s Strawberry Daydream Refresher may be the star of the Dunkin’ summer menu show, that’s not the only the new menu has to offer (after all, you’re going to need something to munch on alongside the new refresher, right?). The menu has new treats, including a “braided apple pie,” a star-shaped “Star Spangled Donut” and a whole beach pale of munchkins (that also comes with a sifter and a shovel) in case you were hoping to take your Dunkin’ to the shore. Plus, they’re releasing new hot breakfast items, including the Chipotle Hash Brown Wake-Up Wrap and Ham & Swiss Croissant Stuffer.

Or, if you aren’t really into refreshers, the drinks department has you covered. They’re dropping “Ice Cream-Inspired Frozen Coffees” in three classic ice cream flavors — cookie dough, mint chocolate chip, and butter pecan. Clearly, Dunkin’ is really intent on making their summer menu a dream, whether it’s with Sabrina’s Strawberry Daydream Refresher or summertime treats and drinks, to help beat the heat.
