Dunkin’ Announces Sabrina Carpenter’s Brown Sugar Shakin’ Espresso and New Winter 2025 Menu

Whether you’re working late ‘cause you’re a singer — or simply hitting the Dunkin’ drive-through on the way to your nine to five — Dunkin’ is shaking up the usual caffeine routine with a cheeky collaboration for its winter lineup. 

The Boston-based coffee chain is tapping pop princess Sabrina Carpenter as a partner for its seasonal treat, Sabrina’s Brown Sugar Shakin’ Espresso. Dunkin’ tells Food & Wine that the new drink is slated to hit stores as part of the winter menu on December 31, so you can taste it soon. Crafted with oat milk for a smooth sweetness, this drink might even impart a little bit of the tongue-in-cheek charm that we expect from the Grammy-nominated artist.

“Introducing our first ‘Shakin’ Espresso’ with Sabrina Carpenter felt like the perfect match,” a Dunkin’ spokesperson tells Food & Wine via email. “She’s America’s espresso expert, after all, and there’s no one better to help us share this deliciously frothy, subtly sweet sip at Dunkin’.”

Carpenter’s song of the summer is an easy inspiration for food-themed partnerships — she’s collaborated on everything from espresso-flavored ice cream with Van Leeuwen to a Kahlúa espresso martini kit. As for the coffee chain, Dunkin’ put its own spin on her titular track by creating a video promotion featuring the pop star of honor, directed by the acclaimed Dave Meyers, who also took the lead on Carpenter’s “Taste” music video.

But our sources say that’s not all the winter menu has in store. An all-new $5 Meal Deal from Dunkin’ is also dropping this week, offering hungry visitors the chance to scoop up two Wake-Up Wraps — with your choice of bacon, sausage, turkey sausage, or no meat — alongside a medium hot or iced coffee. This offer is just a touch less expensive than the brand’s previous $6 Meal Deal promotion, which instead included a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich; hash browns; and a medium coffee.

Prefer starting your day with something a bit more decadent? You might enjoy the brand-new Lava Cake Signature Latte or the Lava Cake Signature Coffee, both of which are joining Dunkin’s winter lineup alongside the Shakin’ Espresso. You know the drill: These dessert-like drinks are available hot or iced, beginning on December 31 and running for a limited time. 

As for light bites, the winter menu includes a new Chocolate Whoopie Pie Specialty Donut to pair with your chocolatey drinks. You can also opt for an Almond Croissant, Iced Lemon Loaf, or Hash Brown Brisket Scramble to round out that meal, per a Dunkin’ spokesperson. 

No matter which way you shake it, blasting “Espresso” at the drive-through while you wait to order a drink that perfectly matches your music sounds like an excellent way to start off the new year.
