Dunkin’ Introduces Barbie Pink Strawberry Cold Foam Drinks Review

Exploring drinks with unique flavor profiles is a journey I particularly enjoy. Recently, I was drawn to Dunkin’s new offerings in collaboration with Barbie, promising vibrant flavors perfect for summer. With the Barbie Pink Strawberry Cold Foam leading the lineup, I was eager to try these beverages, available at Dunkin’ locations nationwide throughout the summer.

I sampled six different drinks to assess their worth and uniqueness. Each one features distinctive flavors and combinations, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Here, I’ll outline the components, taste experiences, and my top recommendation based on this taste test.

Prices stated are accurate as of the publication date and may vary by region.

I ordered all six beverages through the Dunkin’ app and picked them up from their drive-thru, selecting a medium size for each without any modifications. Based in San Diego, I acknowledge that prices may differ by location. Though calorie counts weren’t a deciding factor for my evaluations, I included them for consideration.

My insights were based on flavor combinations and overall satisfaction, assessing each drink on its overall taste, purchase worthiness, and whether it delivered as promised.

The Pink Pineapple Refresher stands out as the most affordable option at $4.45, with 130 calories. Blending green tea with a refreshing base, it offers vibrant notes of pineapple, raspberry, and hibiscus. While it looks visually appealing with its layered presentation, I recommend mixing it before sipping to ensure a consistent flavor throughout.

Upon mixing, the sweetness of the green tea becomes more pronounced, providing a lighter option compared to the other drinks. Its earthy, somewhat grassy undertones are balanced appealingly with the Refresher flavors. You can also customize the base, opting for alternatives like black tea or lemonade; I’d definitely like to try it with black tea in the future.

Priced at $5.15 and containing 280 calories, the Ultimate Pink Daydream Refresher combines elements of the Pink Pineapple Refresher with oat milk and is topped with Barbie Pink Strawberry Cold Foam. The oat milk serves as a neutral creamy element, allowing the tropical pineapple notes to shine through distinctly.

Charming with its fusion of flavors, this Refresher has quickly become a personal favorite, merging pineapple, raspberry, and hibiscus with a delightful creaminess from the oat milk. Unexpectedly, the drink presents a visually appealing drink that, with a quick stir, blends perfectly, avoiding any separation of the juice and oat milk.

For those who crave a strong strawberry flavor, the Double Strawberry Daydream Refresher is an appealing choice. This drink combines the Strawberry Daydream Refresher’s fruity notes with Barbie Pink Strawberry Cold Foam for enhanced richness and color. While it does not present any novel flavors apart from the cold foam, fans of the original will likely enjoy this variant.

Though not particularly innovative, it captures the essence of summer with its bright profile. At 280 calories and priced at $5.15, the drink performs well, especially when customized with alternative milks. Despite my preference for the Pink Pineapple Refresher, this drink remains pleasant.

Strawberry and matcha create a delightful pair, and Dunkin’s Strawberry Cloud Matcha showcases this combination beautifully. Despite being the most expensive drink at $7.25 and containing 330 calories, it successfully incorporates sweetened matcha with unsweetened vanilla, whole milk, and the Barbie Pink Strawberry Cold Foam for an eye-catching pastel aesthetic.

The earthy essence of matcha harmonizes well with the pronounced strawberry flavors as they infuse with every sip, enhanced by a floral vanilla note. While it is a bit pricier compared to other Dunkin’ options, the unique flavor profile makes this drink a delightful treat, perfect for anyone seeking the whimsical combination without pursuing a strictly authentic matcha experience.

As a fan of Dunkalattes, the Strawberries N’ Creme Cloud Dunkalatte is a delightful twist on my favorite beverage. This variation retains the traditional espresso- and coffee milk-based formula while introducing the Barbie Pink Strawberry Cold Foam for an added sweetness and fun factor.

This drink truly shines for coffee enthusiasts, with robust espresso flavors seamlessly blended with vanilla notes and the refreshing strawberry foam. It’s a perfect summer pick-me-up, containing 390 calories and priced at $6.75, making it the second most expensive drink on my list. While indulgent, it offers a refreshing blend that is worth trying while available.

With an almond flavor I enjoy, the Almond Strawberry Shortcake Iced Coffee pleasantly blends various tastes. Priced at $4.90 and containing 330 calories, the drink combines Original Blend iced coffee with French vanilla and toasted almond flavorings, finished with the bright Barbie Pink Strawberry Cold Foam.

While the drink’s name suggests a cake-like quality, it primarily highlights almond and strawberry, with French vanilla adding sweetness. The balance of flavors provides a rich experience without overwhelming nuttiness. This drink is an enjoyable twist on classic Dunkin’ iced coffee options, offering a uniquely refreshing strawberry-infused flavor.

I typically favor uncomplicated espresso beverages like lattes or cortados, as they provide a rich espresso taste complemented by a touch of milk. Therefore, I enjoyed both the Strawberries N’ Creme Cloud Dunkalatte and Almond Strawberry Shortcake Iced Coffee from Dunkin’s new offerings.

My favorite across all the drinks is the Strawberries N’ Creme Cloud Dunkalatte, thanks to its strong espresso flavor enhanced by the delightful strawberry cold foam. Among the Refreshers, I favor the Ultimate Pink Daydream Refresher for its vibrant pineapple and creamy notes.

For customizations, I’m curious about trying a black tea base for the Pink Pineapple Refresher, as well as a blended version of the two coffee drinks—combining the Dunkalatte with toasted almond flavor and topping it with Barbie Pink Strawberry Cold Foam.
