This summer, Dunkin’ introduces a playful twist to its beverage lineup with the Barbie Pink Strawberry Cold Foam. Launched on June 3, this limited-time offering transforms iced drinks into whimsical delights, reminiscent of childhood memories associated with Barbie and her DreamHouse. Naturally, I had to experience it for myself.
So…what is the Barbie Pink Strawberry Cold Foam?
Dunkin’
The Barbie Pink Strawberry Cold Foam is Dunkin’s latest limited-time topping, featuring a vibrant pink layer of sweet, creamy strawberry-flavored foam that enhances iced beverages across their menu.
This launch is a part of Dunkin’s broader summer campaign dubbed “Serving Pink,” which also introduces new Pink Pineapple Refreshers, Dream Refreshers, unique merchandise, and a Barbie-themed store takeover in New York City.
Unlike some celebrity collaborations that feel hastily arranged, this offering genuinely elevates the drinking experience by adding both flavor and visual charm.
What can you get it on?
-
Refresher, including Ultimate Pink Daydream Refresher, Pink Mango Daydream Refresher, and Pink Cherry Daydream Refresher

If I’m going all in on the Barbie fantasy, I might as well go all the way.
First impressions
The look
Before I even took a sip, this drink practically demanded to be photographed.
The foam is a striking pink—reminiscent of Barbie’s iconic convertible. It adds a fluffy strawberry cloud on top, instantly making each drink appear more luxurious than its actual price. On my way back to the office, several pedestrians turned to admire my drinks, with one even stopping to inquire about them.
This is the type of beverage that will definitely make an appearance on Instagram Stories.
The Barbie factor
With striking branding, vibrant colors, and a nostalgic allure, the collaboration feels inviting and fun, rather than forced.
The foam itself

The first thing I noticed was the creamy consistency of the foam.
The strawberry flavor skews sweet and candy-like, reminiscent of strawberry milk or strawberry ice cream, rather than fresh fruit. It evokes the flavor nostalgia associated with a Barbie-themed collaboration.
How it works with iced latte

Initially, I was concerned that the strawberry flavor would clash with the espresso, but to my surprise, it worked harmoniously.
The sweetness of the cold foam mellows the coffee’s bitterness, creating a dessert-like experience. It’s reminiscent of a strawberries-and-cream latte, with an added touch of whimsy.
How it works with iced matcha latte

This pairing turned out to be my favorite.
The strawberry foam pleasantly diminishes matcha’s grassy, slightly bitter notes without completely masking its flavor. Rather than clashing, the flavors harmonize—the earthiness of the tea tempers the sweetness, while the foam adds a creamy finish reminiscent of melted strawberry ice cream.
The result? It feels like enjoying a trendy strawberry matcha latte, but conveniently from a Dunkin’ drive-thru.
Would I want this every morning? Probably not.
But as a refreshing summer treat? Absolutely.
How it compares on Refreshers
Good Housekeeping / Jillian Sollazzo
I also tried the foam with a Pink Mango Refresher. The addition of the strawberry creaminess transforms it into a smoothie-like drink rather than a classic Refresher. The foam enhances the tropical fruit flavors, offering a rich and dessert-like quality.
However, this was undoubtedly the sweetest combination of the three. Without any bitterness from coffee or matcha to counterbalance it, the drink becomes overwhelmingly sweet. Initial sips were delightful, but towards the end, I found myself wishing for a bit more tartness to cut through the richness.
Is it actually Barbie-approved?
Warner Bros.
The true brilliance of this collaboration lies in its aesthetic appeal.
The foam instantaneously transforms any ordinary drink into a delightful and photogenic treat. Barbie enthusiasts will appreciate the nostalgic elements, while others will simply enjoy sipping on something that looks exuberantly cheerful.
Mission accomplished.
