Some collaborations just make sense. Elvis and peanut butter. Paris and cigarettes. Now add Kahlúa and Dunkin’ to that list—two titans of caffeinated indulgence who’ve joined forces to launch Kahlúa Dunkin’ Caramel Swirl Cream Liqueur, a boozy dessert-in-a-glass that blurs the lines between nightcap and afternoon pick-me-up.
This new release marks the first-ever cream liqueur from Dunkin’ and the largest cream category investment yet from Kahlúa, the world’s bestselling coffee liqueur. And while it may sound like the start of a punchline—“So a donut walks into a bar…”—what they’ve actually cooked up is a silky, caramel-forward liqueur that plays like a greatest-hits reel from both brands.
Infused with Dunkin’s fan-favorite Caramel Swirl flavor, this 34-proof pour blends real cream, Kahlúa’s signature rum, and 100% Arabica coffee beans from Veracruz, Mexico, then dresses it all up with toffee, dulce de leche, vanilla, and a whisper of chocolate. The result? Something you could drink over ice while contemplating life’s small victories—or just serve alongside a platter of Dunkin’ MUNCHKINS® and call it a Friday.
“Kahlúa is famous for great-tasting Espresso Martinis, and now we’re stirring up everyday occasions with Dunkin’ for something special,” said Caroline Begley, VP of Marketing at Kahlúa. “This is more than a drink—it’s a new ritual.”
That “everyday occasion” thing is key. Unlike espresso martinis, which still carry the ceremonial weight of rooftop bars and first dates, Kahlúa Dunkin’ Caramel Swirl Cream Liqueur is calibrated for the unhurried hour—the home cocktail moment, the lazy Sunday brunch, the late-night kitchen dance with socks on tile.
“This collaboration blends premium indulgence with everyday coffee culture,” said Dunkin’s Brian Gilbert. “It’s a bold move for both brands—and a delicious one.”
Already recognized with a Gold award by the International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC), this cream liqueur isn’t just a novelty—it’s a legit flavor bomb with pedigree. Available now nationwide, it’s ready to pour, chill, or dress up with a donut-hole garnish (yes, that’s a real serving suggestion). For more information, head over to the brand’s official website.
