\"Dunkin<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to share a joke with you that I distinctly recall reading on a Popsicle stick.<\/p>\n

What was the vampire\u2019s favorite fruit?<\/em><\/p>\n

G\u2019head and take a few seconds to think.<\/p>\n

Ready? Here we go. The vampire\u2019s favorite fruit was\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cDRACberry!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Yeah. It was, uh, it was the Dracberry. Look, it\u2019s a weak joke. They always are. The fact that the answer wasn\u2019t \u201cblood orange\u201d kinda made me want to chisel that popsicle stick into a stake and go vampire hunting.<\/p>\n

I guess ol\u2019 Vlad and the boys don\u2019t like citrus? That\u2019s a real shame because that probably means they won\u2019t be trying Dunkin\u2019s new Blood Orange Refresher.<\/p>\n

I only look like a vampire, so I tried it, and I have some thoughts.<\/p>\n

Just to refresh you on Refreshers, they are Dunkin\u2019s line of B vitamin and green tea-infused fruit drinks, and they mostly live up to their name. Mostly.<\/p>\n

Blood orange is a solid flavor addition to the menu, but I\u2019m not sure it\u2019s a worthy \u201cRefresher.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll cut to the chase; the Blood Orange Refresher is basically just Dunkin\u2019s attempt at an Orangeade. It smells and tastes like orange-flavored green tea. That\u2019s not necessarily a bad thing \u2013- mission accomplished. After the first sip, I thought it was the most refreshing Refresher I\u2019ve tried.<\/p>\n

\"Dunkin<\/p>\n

While the orange flavor was vibrant and landed right in a sweet spot between typical fresh Tropicana style orange juices and the more sugared up fare that have to be labeled as \u201cdrinks,\u201d I don\u2019t necessarily associate \u201c_____ades\u201d with the word \u201crefreshing.\u201d<\/p>\n

I could be alone here, but lemonade isn\u2019t refreshing. It might be for a sip or two, but then it starts to dry my mouth out and just makes me thirstier. That\u2019s exactly what happens here. This should be the drink that peps me up and quenches my thirst, not one that makes me wish I also bought a bottle of water.<\/p>\n

With that said, it\u2019s still a good flavor, and the green tea does the job. I think you can get away with replacing a coffee with one of these and get that boost of caffeine you crave, but once more, you\u2019ll probably just be thirsty again once you finish.<\/p>\n

\"Dunkin<\/p>\n

I\u2019d also be lying if I told you this was distinctly \u201cblood orange.\u201d I\u2019m not even sure I could articulate the subtle difference I was expecting, but it\u2019s basically just \u201corange\u201d flavored, so don\u2019t assume any crazy new flavor experience.<\/p>\n

So, in the end, this might be the least refreshing Refresher I\u2019ve tried to date, but I guess I still give it a light recommendation. You can also order it cut with coconut milk, which might actually curb that sour drying finish a bit and help with the thirst problem.<\/p>\n

I imagine using \u201cblood\u201d orange might be a thinly veiled Halloween tie-in, so I\u2019d expect this flavor to hang around for at least a couple months. If not, get it quick because it could be replaced by \u201cDRAC-berry\u201d any day now.<\/p>\n
