New Dunkin’ coffee inspired by Rhode Island’s ‘favorite’ beverage

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — Dunkin’ has come out with its fall flavors, and a Rhode Island favorite has been added to the lineup.

Starting today, Dunkin’ Donuts will be offering a Dunkalatte, a brand new offering that features coffee milk.

According to a release, the drink is inspired by Rhode Island’s official beverage.

Coffee milk originated back in the 1920s to 1930s here in the Ocean State.

According to the Dunkin’s national release, the drink is described as:

“Sweet, creamy, and unlike anything else, this coffee milk latte combines Dunkin’s rich espresso with a secret ingredient: coffee milk, inspired by Rhode Island’s official beverage. The coffee milk is made with whole milk and Dunkin’s very own coffee extract. The result? An ultra-smooth drink that sips like a latte and tastes like a melty milkshake. There’s creamy coffee… and then there’s the Dunkalatte.”
