Dunkin' has introduced its seasonal autumn beverage lineup, headlined by the debut of Green Apple Dunkin' Zero and Purple Marshmallow Cold Foam.


Rolling out to participating stores across the United States from today, the limited-time offerings serve as foundational components for an expanded collection of themed cold beverages, refreshers, and coffees scheduled to run throughout the Halloween trading period.


The launch expands Dunkin's functional beverage offerings, bringing seasonal fruit profiles to its zero-sugar energy platform while introducing visual and textural customisation through coloured cold foam applications.


"This year, we're taking two fan-favourite platforms into entirely new territory," said Anthony Epter, Vice President of Menu Innovation at Dunkin'. "From the tart, crisp flavour of Green Apple Dunkin' Zero to the spooky twist of Purple Marshmallow Cold Foam, we’re giving guests new ways to experience Dunkin'. But this is only the beginning. Guests can expect more surprises, treats and Halloween moments throughout October."



Green Apple Zero Energy Platform

The seasonal rollout introduces Green Apple Dunkin' Zero, an autumn adaptation of the brand's proprietary zero-sugar carbonated energy line.


Formulated to capture afternoon and midday refreshment routines, the crisp green apple base serves as the core building block for four beverage variations:

🍏 Green Apple Dunkin' Zero: Tart green apple flavouring combined with effervescent sparkling water.

🫐 Midnight Apple Dunkin' Zero: Green Apple Dunkin' Zero blended with blackberry syrup to create a darker colouration and berry finish.

🥭 Candy Kiss Dunkin' Zero: Green Apple Dunkin' Zero mixed with tropical mango flavour notes for a sweet confectionery profile.

🍑 Orchard Twist Dunkin' Zero: Green Apple Dunkin' Zero paired with stone-fruit peach notes to produce a balanced sweet-tart profile.

Cold Foam Innovation and Beverage Integration

Alongside the energy platform, Dunkin' has debuted Purple Marshmallow Cold Foam, a seasonal iteration of its popular marshmallow-flavoured topping formulated with a distinctive violet hue.


The development marks the first time Dunkin' has authorised cold foam integration on top of a Dunkin' Zero energy beverage, introducing a dairy or dairy-alternative layer over an effervescent base. The topping is featured across five menu builds:


🍏 Sour Apple Energy: Green Apple Dunkin' Zero blended with sour lemonade base and topped with Purple Marshmallow Cold Foam.

🫐 Dark Spell Daydream Refresher: A layered oat milk beverage incorporating berry, clementine and blueberry syrups beneath Purple Marshmallow Cold Foam.

☕ Terror-misu Cloud Latte: An iced espresso latte flavoured with tiramisu syrup, layered with Purple Marshmallow Cold Foam, and finished with cocoa dusting.

🍵 Franki Matcha: Sweetened Japanese matcha green tea shaken with whole milk and vanilla syrup, capped with Purple Marshmallow Cold Foam.

🧊 Creepy Crawler Coffee Chiller: Frozen blended coffee flavoured with tiramisu notes, drizzled with Purple Marshmallow Cold Foam, and finished with whipped cream and mocha sauce.



Seasonal Refreshers and Iced Coffee Assortment

Complementing the cold foam and energy lines, Dunkin' has introduced three additional beverage formulations targeting seasonal fruit and dessert flavour trends:


🫐 Midnight Potion Refresher: Green tea base infused with clementine and blueberry flavours for a lighter, antioxidant-positioned iced drink.

🍹 Werewolf Punch Refresher: Lemonade base mixed with a blend of blackberry, clementine, mango, and pineapple flavours.

🌰 Nutty Nightmare Iced Coffee: Standard Dunkin' iced coffee and cream flavoured with toasted almond and tiramisu syrups.



Availability and Rollout

The seasonal portfolio is structured to drive footfall during mid-morning and afternoon snacking dayparts, where cold beverage orders represent a primary sales driver for quick-service coffee chains.


By utilising modular syrups and cold foam toppers across existing brewed coffee, espresso, tea, and sparkling energy bases, Dunkin' expands its seasonal menu variety without adding complexity to back-of-house assembly workflows.


The complete seasonal lineup is available nationwide across physical counter service, drive-thru lanes, and the Dunkin' mobile ordering app while supplies last.
