Kahlúa and Dunkin’ Team Up for New Caramel Swirl Cream Liqueur

Coffee and cocktails have always made a good match. Now two iconic names in the beverage world— Kahlúa and Dunkin’ are teaming up to blur the lines between barista and mixologist with Kahlúa Dunkin’ Caramel Swirl Cream Liqueur.

It’s a move that’s sure to catch attention in the cream liqueur category. This delicious partnership brings together Kahlúa—the beloved #1 coffee liqueur that’s been on back bar shelves for decades, and Dunkin’—the coffee-and-donuts giant, to introduce something that is built for more than just seasonal menus.

“Kahlúa is famous for great-tasting Espresso Martinis and now we’re stirring up everyday occasions with Dunkin’ for something special,” says Caroline Begley, Vice President of Marketing, Kahlúa.

“We’re proud to partner with this iconic coffee brand and continue the partnership in exciting ways.”

For bartenders, the release opens new options in the indulgent cocktail space. The flavor is familiar to guests, the pour is versatile, and the format is ideal to enjoy chilled–neat or on the rocks. It’s also a chance to get creative like garnishing with a Munchkins® donut hole treat for playful presentation or stirring up a creamy, caramel twist on a trendy coffee dessert cocktail like an Espresso Martini or spirited cold brew.

This isn’t just a seasonal one-off either—it’s a permanent addition to Kahlúa’s lineup and a first for Dunkin’ as the brand dips its toes into the world of spirits like never before. The idea? Take Dunkin’s iconic Caramel Swirl flavor—sweet, rich, and unmistakable—and blend it with real cream, coffee, and Kahlúa’s signature rum base. The result is a silky pour that balances toffee and vanilla with soft coffee and chocolate notes, all tied together with a creamy finish.

“This collaboration blends premium indulgence with everyday coffee culture,” said Brian Gilbert, Vice President Retail Business Development, Dunkin’.

“Kahlúa Dunkin’ Caramel Swirl is a bold step in the cream liqueur category for both brands and a delicious new treat for coffee and cocktail enthusiasts alike.”

It’s dessert. It’s a drink. It’s a vibe.

More than anything, this drop is about comfort—cozy flavors, familiar brands, and a little indulgence without the fuss. It’s also a signal that the cream liqueur space—long dominated by holiday pours and coffee-drink crossovers—is getting a modern shake-up.

Whether you’re a Kahlúa loyalist, a Dunkin’ regular, or just someone looking for a nightcap with personality, this one’s worth the swirl.
