Dunkin’ Donuts is something you can often see in someone’s hands as you walk around the hall. Many people have coffees but you can see other people enjoying colorful drinks, these are the Dunkin refreshers. With the weather getting warmer these drinks are a perfect treat to quench your thirst. You can get the drinks with coconut milk, green tea, or lemonade. Dunkin’ is not traditionally known for their refreshers but within the past 2 years began offering them starting with the Peach Passionfruit and Strawberry Dragon Fruit refreshers, the most recent addition to the refreshers is the Mango Pineapple Refresher. I believe I am qualified to review these drinks because I absolutely love Dunkin’ Donuts and go there quite often.

My Personal favorite is the mango pineapple refresher, I personally got the drink with lemonade. It tasted so strongly of Mango that the pineapple overpowered and you can barely taste it. Although the drink lacked the taste of pineapple it was very good with lemonade. I also had a sip of the drink with green tea, because the green tea was not very strong. The drink just tasted like mango concentrate so it was not very good with green tea. I was not able to try the drink with coconut milk but I don’t think it would taste very good because the Mango taste is super strong. I would recommend this drink to people who enjoy eating mango, but I would only recommend getting the drink with lemonade.

I also tried the strawberry dragonfruit. This drink had to be my second choice, I got this drink with coconut milk because I thought that it would taste the best with it. Let me tell you this drink did not disappoint, but I feel like if you were to get it with green tea or lemonade the drink would be a little bit too sweet. The sweetness was honestly a little overbearing at times, but it was good nonetheless. I thought the drink would taste similar to Starbucks pink drink, it sort of had a similar taste. I would definitely recommend this drink to anyone who has a big sweet tooth. 

The last drink I tried was the peach passionfruit. This drink was my third favorite, it was not good or bad to me, just sort of in the middle. It wasn’t as strong as the mango pineapple drink and was not as sweet as the strawberry dragonfruit, the drink was still pretty sweet though. I got this drink with lemonade and it tasted very good. The drink was good but simply mediocre in comparison to the other drinks I tasted. This drink would be good for people who don’t like drinking sweet or strong drinks but something sort of in the middle. 

The drink has very different tastes depending on what you got mixed in with it. Overall, I think the drinks were great despite their faults. If you’re ever at a Dunkin’ and want to try something new I would recommend getting one of these drinks!
