We’re gonna be honest: at this point in the semester, we are held together by iced coffee, vibes, and the promise of summer break.

So when Dunkin’ dropped its 2026 summer menu, we collectively said: this might actually get us through finals week.

The Drinks That Are About to Carry Us Academically

First up: Black Cherry Refreshers.

These are not your boring “hydration” drinks—these are “I haven’t slept in 36 hours but I feel alive” drinks.

• Cherry Lime Rickey? Sounds like a summer situationship.
• Cherry Daydream? That’s literally us staring out the window during class.
• Bonus: they’ve got caffeine (green tea base + B vitamins), so yes, this counts as productivity.

Also: limeade is now a thing. Raspberry, coconut, matcha??  Dunkin really said: what if hydration… but chaotic?

The “Dirty Soda” (We Have Questions… But Also Need It)

Dunkin’s new Dirty Soda = Pepsi + coffee milk + cold foam.  We don’t understand it.  We don’t trust it.  We will absolutely order it.

Apparently it’s based on a viral trend and is meant to be creamy, fizzy, and caffeinated at the same time.  So basically… it’s like if soda and coffee pulled an all-nighter together.

Oreo Drinks = The Real Reason We’re Still Enrolled

• Oreo Cloud Latte
• Oreo Matcha (???)
• Oreo Coolatta
• Oreo Coffee Chillers

Yes, they’re loaded with cookie crumbles, espresso, marshmallow foam, and probably zero concern for our GPA.

These drinks are less “morning coffee” and more “reward for simply attending class.”

Bonus: Sugar to Emotionally Support Us

Also on the menu:

• Fruit Punch donuts
• Fruit Punch Munchkins

Because nothing says “I’m coping” like eating something that tastes like a Capri Sun in donut form.

Final Thoughts (From Students Who Are Hanging On by a Thread)

Here’s the reality:  Finals are coming  Our sleep schedules are gone  Our motivation left weeks ago. But this menu? This is hope.

So yeah… summer isn’t here yet.  But with enough caffeine and questionable drink decisions, we’ll get there.
