If you'd like to try the Shamrock Macchiato for yourself, just make sure to stop by a Dunkin' before St. To be fair, the actual flavor isn't anything out of the ordinary, but drinking a festive, spring-themed drink with a bit of green food coloring certainly makes for a great pick-me-up, and of course the espresso in it helps with that, too. But because iced macchiatos are my go-to anyway, I personally ended up enjoying this one and would order it again. Though it almost looks like a milkshake, this drink (if you order it as it comes) is definitely not one of Dunkin's sweeter offerings - it's still a macchiato, after all. The Irish Creme is a lot like their unsweetened vanilla but with a hint of Irish cream liqueur, and it's really good.ĭunkin's Shamrock Macchiato is definitely catered toward coffee-lovers, because the espresso flavor is far more intense than the green stuff, but even those who take their coffee sweet might want to add some sugar. In fact, it's neither mint nor lime as you might expect instead, just as the menu promises, it simply tastes of the chain's Irish Creme - an add-in that you can actually get in your macchiato year-round. The milk layer at the bottom is the most artificial shade of green you can imagine, but the flavor fortunately is not. After trying it, though, it's, dare I say, so much tastier. The Shamrock Macchiato bears a striking resemblance to the McDonald's Chocolate Shamrock Shake, being that it is also half green, half brown.
In the meantime, however, I've been excited to try the coffee chain's newest seasonal item, the Shamrock Macchiato. I look forward to Pumpkin Spice Macchiatos every year, and I'm still holding out hope that the Sugarplum Macchiato will one day make its way back to the menu. This doesn’t change the fact that it’s still a very enjoyable, flavorful fall time sipper.As someone who already drinks their fair share of Iced Caramel Macchiatos, there's not much Dunkin' has to do to get me to try a new version of the beverage. Despite the very Instagram worthy opening photo you get, the bulk of this beverage experience is identical to a latte. While the Iced Version of these macchiatos really don’t have many differentiating factors, besides extra espresso, initial appearance, and 50 cent upcharge, I would be intrigued to see how the hot ones compares. The Iced Pumpkin Macchiato is a real solid drink, although not very different from its iced latte step-cousin.ĭunkin Donuts Iced Pumpkin Macchiato – The Verdict The espresso quickly distributed throughout my blood stream, waking me up to the point where the deep, dark, cloudy, autumn sky above wasn’t quite so depressing anymore. The swirl of milk and sugary pumpkin flavor permeated throughout the espresso creating a great blend. Regardless of appearances and pinky out coffee drinking, the beverage was very enjoyable. To me, it seems that a macchiato would be better consumed by sipping to truly experience the multiple layers, because as soon as I put the straw into the socket, the layers were gone and I pretty much had what looked like a standard iced latte. Somewhat skeptical upon ordering, I was pleasantly surprised when, despite the initial “ordering on the first day” confusion, the beverage handed to me indeed had the intended layer appearance. Website documentation as well as commercials boast this beverage as being hand-crafted, doing everything they can to convince consumers that this not just any seasonal drink and is worth the premium price. One can imagine the extra helping of espresso contributes to this price, but one must hope that this is the case because this beverage could easily be confused with a standard flavored latte depending on preparation. The pumpkin macchiato at Dunkin Donuts are premium priced at somewhere around a half dollar mark up over the latte counterparts. But which taste better Burnt beans and bitter brews are common misconceptions about Starbucks coffee. Iced coffee drinks such as the Starbucks Coffee Frappuccino and the Dunkin’ Original are also available.
While this is the variety I opted for, the hot version has pumpkin infused steamed milk on the bottom, with espresso and foamed milk serving as additional layers. Each bottle contains between 153 and 186 mg of caffeine, which is approximately twice the amount in a cup of coffee. The Ingredients:Ī flavor swirl of pumpkin is incorporated into milk for the bottom layer, while a double shot of espresso serves as the top layer of the iced version. While not exactly a true macchiato as we detailed yesterday, the essential ingredients are all there. Dunkin Donuts Pumpkin Macchiato comes in both hot and ices variations and is advertised to have layers of flavor.
Dunkin Donuts released their pumpkin coffees, iced coffees, lattes, muffin, and donuts at the beginning of September, but this year they have released a new drink variation mid season. As the leaves begin to turn and start to fall mercilessly in your yard, you can bet your bottom dollar that the fall seasoned beverages will be pumped out en masse.
