Dunkin’ has joined forces with the original coffee liqueur to bring a fan favorite flavor to the liquor aisle.

Dunkin and Kahlúa have collaborated on the release of Kahlúa Dunkin' Caramel Swirl Cream Liqueur. Now available nationwide, the boozy blend is described by the brand as having “caramel notes like toffee, vanilla and dulce de leche, blended with hints of coffee and chocolate.” It is based on the chain’s popular Dunkin's Caramel Swirl, with the addition of “Kahlúa's 100% Arabica coffee from Veracruz, Mexico.”

"This collaboration blends premium indulgence with everyday coffee culture," says Brian Gilbert, vice president, retail business development, for Dunkin'. "Kahlúa Dunkin' Caramel Swirl is a bold step in the cream liqueur category for both brands and a new treat for coffee and cocktail enthusiasts alike."

The new collab marks Dunkin’s first entry into the cream liqueur category and will be a permanent addition to Kahlúa's liqueur line, which also includes Kahlúa Chocolate Sips, Kahlúa Mint Mocha, and Kahlúa Blonde Roast Style.

The brands are promoting the collab online and via their social media platforms.

Kahlúa was created in Mexico in 1936 and is made with rum and 100% Arabica coffee beans.

Dunkin', owned by Inspire Brands, began in Quincy, Massachusetts in 1950, and has grown to include more than 14,000 restaurants in approximately 40 global markets.
