Dunkin\u2019 is introducing some fruity new ways to get your caffeine (and your apostrophe) fix this spring with its new SPARKD\u2019 Energy drinks. The jewel-toned beverages look like they belong alongside the Refreshers drinks Dunkin\u2019 already serves, but SPARKD\u2019 swaps the green tea for sparkling water and the syrups have a caffeine boost from guarana along with some vitamins and minerals. Available in Berry Burst and Peach Sunshine, these drinks are kind of interesting, if not totally successful.<\/p>\n
Served over ice and pleasantly effervescent, both are visually appealing and feature a blend of two fruit flavors. Berry Burst is a mix of raspberry and strawberry, and Peach Sunshine mixes peach, obviously, with lychee. While I\u2019d normally gravitate towards a berry flavor over peach any day, I was intrigued by the lychee and had high hopes for its inclusion.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Trying the berry first, I enjoyed its bubbly nature and had no real complaints about the flavor, but it didn\u2019t wow me either. It\u2019s somewhat generic in its berry-ness, which isn\u2019t a bad thing, but I expected it to be more interesting. The longer it sat and the ice melted, the more I started getting a Kool-Aid vibe from it. Again, not exactly a complaint, but it also wasn\u2019t what I was looking for. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The Peach Sunshine variety left me similarly disappointed. It\u2019s predominantly peach and if I didn\u2019t know it included lychee, I wouldn\u2019t have guessed it. The orange color had me hoping for more citrusy notes, but it\u2019s very peach-forward. And in a medium size, it ended up just too peachy for me. Dunkin\u2019 has had some really good flavor combos in its Refreshers line so I had higher expectations for these that just weren\u2019t met. I have a preferred brand of energy drink (Red Bull), and both of these flavors reminded me of something I might get from a Celsius or other canned energy beverage that I wouldn\u2019t go out of my way to buy but will pick up when my grocery store offers them as a \u201cfree item of the week\u201d thing.<\/p>\n
One might assume these are packed with caffeine with a name like SPARKD\u2019, but they actually fall kind of in the middle of that spectrum. A medium of either flavor contains 144 milligrams of caffeine, which is more than a Refresher but less than a Dunkin\u2019 iced coffee and considerably less than a Panera Charged Lemonade.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t have anything truly negative to say about Dunkin\u2019s foray into the energy drink market, but the initial offerings didn\u2019t spark any desire in me to purchase them again. The fizz is fun and the overall drink is fine but not memorable. I\u2019m going to root for these to stick around in the hopes that future flavors will be more exciting.<\/p>\n
