\"Dunkin<\/p>\n

What is Dunkin\u2019s Sugarplum Iced Macchiato<\/h3>\n

One of the most flavorful coffee concoctions Dunkin’ has ever released, and certainly its most purple!<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

I love it, but I have to admit, I didn’t know what a sugarplum was, and I still kinda<\/em> don’t?<\/p>\n

Are they even a real thing, or did that dude who wrote “Twas the Night Before Christmas” make them up? Is it just a candied plum? Is “sugarplum” just a cute blanket word for “sweets,” kinda like how the British use “pudding” to describe everything from actual pudding to cake to, like, toothpaste?<\/p>\n

Every time I hear the word, I think of a hard-boiled noir detective being a jerk to some poor dame. “Hows about grabbin’ me a cuppa joe, sugarplums?”<\/em><\/p>\n

Perhaps that bit of poorly aged dialogue somehow inspired this delicious coffee drink?<\/p>\n

I decided to skip any and all research in an attempt to figure out what sugarplum actually tastes like, and I settled on “berry bomb.”<\/p>\n

\"Dunkin<\/p>\n

I may have been influenced by the whimsical color of the drink itself (seriously, how cool looking is that?). But on any given sip, I tasted just about every “dark fruit” from grape to blueberry to its namesake, plum. I’d describe it as vaguely “Fruity Pebbles After-milk.”<\/p>\n

If Nestle Quik released an all-encompassing “Berry Milk” flavor, it would probably taste like the lower level of this drink, and I can’t compliment Dunkin’ enough.<\/p>\n

Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

As you can see from the oil and vinegar-style separation, the top layer is espresso, and it packs a wallop. I was able to take sips of each layer individually just by moving the straw. That’s some of the strongest coffee Dunkin’ has to offer.<\/p>\n

After sampling each layer a few times, I mixed it up, and while the milky sugarplum layer lost a lot of its punch, it still made for a really nice iced macchiato. Then again, I’m the type of freak who likes to order blueberry flavor shots in my coffee.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

I doubled back to Dunkin’s press release, which described sugarplum as “bright berry flavors of blueberry, raspberry, blackberry, and plum,” so I was in the ballpark. I love that a fruit like plum gets to shine a bit for once, and I think this was a creative new spin on holiday gimmicks. I can see this becoming a yearly thing, and I fully expect more brands to get on the Sugarplum Express. We all know imitation is the sincerest form of fattery\u2026 flattery.<\/p>\n
