Understanding Dunkin's Frozen Drinks
Dunkin' offers several popular frozen drinks, but their caffeine content varies. It is important to know the difference between the traditional Coolatta and the Frozen Coffee to make an informed choice.
Caffeine-Free Coolatta Options
The classic Coolatta flavors are generally caffeine-free. These are typically fruit-flavored, slushy-style beverages. Options like Strawberry and Blue Raspberry Coolattas do not contain caffeine. The Vanilla Bean Coolatta is also a caffeine-free choice, offering a creamy, non-fruity alternative. Some of these fruity Coolattas, such as Strawberry, are made without dairy, making them suitable for vegans.
The Caffeinated Frozen Coffee
Unlike the classic Coolattas, Dunkin's Frozen Coffee does contain caffeine. This drink is made using a coffee syrup or concentrate.
Customization and Other Drinks
Adding items like espresso shots to a Coolatta will introduce caffeine. Dunkin' also offers other caffeine-free drinks like herbal teas and certain bottled beverages. Some Refreshers contain caffeine from green tea extract, but may be customizable with water to be caffeine-free. For the most accurate details, checking the official ingredient list is recommended.
