If you and your resting heart rate missed out on Dunkin's 48-ounce Iced Beverage Buckets earlier this summer, you've got another chance to supersize your caffeine fix.
The coffee chain announced that its viral drinkable buckets are returning to participating locations nationwide beginning August 7 for a limited time. Better yet, it's also introducing an accessory that solves the biggest problem with carrying around a small pail of iced coffee: a bucket cup holder.
RECOMMENDED: This Southern capital just beat NYC, L.A. and Chicago as the top coffee city in America
The oversized drinks cost $12.99, and you can choose a customizable iced coffee or one of Dunkin's Refreshers. Fans can tailor the drink's sweetness, flavor and caffeine level before it's poured into the collectible 48-ounce bucket (which will be great for building sandcastles later).
Among the Refresher flavors are three newbies: The Cherry Lime Rickey Refresher (a Black Cherry Refresher combined with a limeade), the Pink Pineapple Sparkling Refresher (pineapple, raspberry and hibiscus flavors with sparkling water) and the Iced Coffee with Peanut Butter Swirl (which is... iced coffee swirled together with peanut butter flavor and your choice of dairy).
The original nationwide launch in May became a social media sensation after an earlier regional test sparked long lines and plenty of TikTok videos. Dunkin' says the buckets became one of its biggest viral hits of the summer, with many locations selling out their limited inventory almost immediately.
This latest release also includes a new Bucket Holder designed to fit into a standard vehicle cup holder, making it a little easier to transport nearly 50 ounces of iced coffee without every speed bump becoming a high-stakes balancing act. The accessory is to be initially available exclusively to Dunkin' Rewards members with Boosted Status beginning July 29.
As with the first release, the buckets will only be available while supplies last, so if the first rollout is any indication, you'll probably want to make your Dunkin' run sooner rather than later.
