\"\"<\/p>\n

Fall is famous for many things: sweater weather, back-to-school season, and the extreme prevalence of pumpkin spice. But for me, the most important thing it brings is a new fall menu from Dunkin\u2019. And while this menu always welcomes returning favorites (refer to my note about pumpkin spice), this year, I had my eye on something new and a little more unique: the Dunkalatte.<\/p>\n

I have to be honest, it first caught my attention because I had no idea what this drink actually was. Skimming Dunkin\u2019s latest press release revealed some answers\u2014but also more questions. Okay, this thing is a \u201ccoffee milk latte,\u201d but\u2026 isn\u2019t \u201ccoffee\u201d plus \u201cmilk\u201d literally the definition of a latte? What could it possibly mean to put all three of those words together in a row?<\/p>\n

Luckily, the press release anticipated my confusion and went on to educate me that \u201ccoffee milk,\u201d apparently, is none other than the official state beverage of Rhode Island. More specifically, it is\u2026 exactly what it sounds like. A combination of milk with coffee flavoring! Long story short, Dunkin\u2019s new offering combines coffee milk with espresso for a drink that they promise will be extra smooth and creamy. Consider my curiosity piqued! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And my desire reached a fever pitch when I strolled into my local Dunkin and was met by a sign boasting a psychedelic coffee-colored swirl adorned with the bold claim that this product \u201cTastes like a melty milkshake.\u201d I\u2019m usually a hot coffee girl, but this statement seemed like it would be best tested by the iced variant, and hey, I\u2019m not one to ever turn down anything related to milkshakes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I must admit that this Dunkin\u2019 order started the same way I start all of my Dunkin\u2019 orders\u2014by horribly underestimating how large its \u201clarge\u201d is. Yes, I wanted a caffeine boost to help with my early morning, but I didn\u2019t need quite that much! Luckily, my Dunkalatte was so delicious that I was ultimately grateful for its comically oversized proportions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As was promised, this thing was indeed noticeably creamier than a usual latte. Iced coffee can quickly become watery, but the richness of the coffee milk base here prevented that effectively, with the pleasant result that my massive beverage went down just as smoothly after an hour on the train as my first sip did immediately after departing Dunkin\u2019s doors. It was wonderfully sweet (I think the mellow flavor of the coffee milk masked the harshness of the espresso, which was a big plus for a Frappuccino fiend like me: the coffee flavor is certainly still there, it\u2019s just not as in-your-face), and the texture felt thicker than a regular latte. All in all, Dunkin\u2019 sure wasn\u2019t kidding: \u201cmelty milkshake\u201d is an extremely accurate depiction. But don\u2019t worry, that won\u2019t impact your caffeine fix\u2014despite its dessert-like nature, this Dunkalatte definitely still delivered a buzz.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re able to look past this drink\u2019s vague name, you\u2019ll discover something that will perk you up while also tasting indulgently incredible. Plus, it introduced me to the concept of state beverages, so please excuse me while I dive back down that rabbit hole!<\/p>\n
