The world’s number one coffee liqueur and America’s favorite coffee retailer teamed up this summer to create Kahlúa Dunkin’ Caramel Swirl Cream Liqueur. This limited-edition release brings together coffee, cream, and Dunkin’s iconic caramel swirl flavor into a single indulgent drink—ready to be sipped neat or chilled over ice.
Coffee and caramel are a natural pairing, which both Kahlúa and Dunkin’ know all about—as are the two brands themselves, both household names thanks to their reputations for quality and pop culture collaborations (think Salma Hayek, Sabrina Carpenter, and Ben Affleck, to name a few). The timing is on point, too: the rise and rise of the Espresso Martini in recent years has primed drinkers to explore new ways of enjoying their coffee with a kick.
Kahlúa has spent nearly 90 years defining the coffee liquor category as its longstanding market leader. Based in Veracruz, Mexico, Kahlúa uses local rum and 100 percent Arabica beans from remote villages to create the brand’s signature creamy, real-coffee flavor. Meanwhile, Dunkin’ continues to reign as the top coffee-by-the-cup destination in the U.S., with its proprietary caramel swirl ranking among its most beloved customizations.

At 16% ABV, Kahlúa Dunkin’ Caramel Swirl Cream Liqueur pours a creamy, light toffee hue. Aromas of fresh-brewed coffee, buttery caramel, and a top note of vanilla bean rise from the glass. A sip reveals flavors of roasted coffee and brown sugar caramel, with a dairy sweetness anchored by a subtle warmth from the rum base. On the finish: lingering caramel candy and a touch of mocha. Coffee lovers—and drinkers craving a rich, layered, and not-too-sweet nightcap—will gravitate to this easy sipper.
Ready to serve straight from the fridge, this liqueur needs nothing more than what’s in the bottle itself. That said, it also makes a decadent topper for coffee, ice cream, or cocktails. Bartenders—both professional and enthusiast—can use it to add a twist to classics like a White Russian or Espresso Martini, or to gently spike an affogato.
With an approachable price point and flavors consumers already know and love, Kahlúa Dunkin’ Caramel Swirl Cream Liqueur is positioned to be an instantly recognizable call—whether on the shelf or the bar menu.
