YouTube star chef Nick DiGiovanni teamed up with Dunkin’ to create four new iced coffees launching Wednesday.

DiGiovanni worked with Dunkin’ chef Dan Cole to develop the limited-time summer beverage menu. The iced coffees are infused with flavors like caramel, blueberry, coconut and vanilla.

Dunkin’s Chef Nick Menu includes these four cool coffees, available exclusively through the chain’s mobile app:

Blueberry Donut Iced Coffee with Sweet Cold Foam: Featuring flavors of blueberry and sweet pastry dough, this iced coffee is topped with sweet cold foam to evoke the combo of Dunkin’s classic blueberry donut and iced coffee

Caramel Coconut Cream Iced Coffee: To tie into summertime’s tropical flavors, DiGiovanni created this coconut forward coffee—a blend of Dunkin’s classic iced coffee with caramel and coconut flavors.

Mocha Vanilla Iced Coffee: This iced beverage combines notes of sweet vanilla and mocha with the classic Dunkin’ iced coffee for a cool combination of vanilla, chocolate and coffee.

Caramel Almondmilk Iced Coffee: Curated by Chef Nick and his love for all things caramel, this iced coffee boasts notes of caramel with a splash of almondmilk to create a dairy-free pick-me-up that’s bold and slightly sweet. 

Dunkin’ has been focusing on iced coffee innovation, as younger customers show a preference for cold over hot brews. But energy drinks are also a focus at Dunkin’ headquarters in Canton, Massachusetts, were the summer’s class of Dunkin’Terns are working on amplifying the brand’s Dunkin’ Iced Energy beverages. SPARKD’ Energy by Dunkin’ led off the chain’s spring menu collection.
