DUNKIN’ IS PARTNERING WITH CULT-FAVORITE BRAND PARKE ON A COLORFUL DRINK LINEUP—WHAT TO ORDER

Dunkin’ is teaming up with the cult-favorite apparel brand Parke for a summer collaboration that goes far beyond a single limited-time drink.

Beginning July 17, the chain will launch the new Parke Daydream Refresher nationwide, along with a curated Parke Perfect Sips menu available exclusively in the Dunkin’ app. The collaboration also includes limited-edition apparel, accessories, and stainless steel tumblers.

At the center of the collection is the Parke Daydream Refresher, a bright pink drink made with Strawberry Dragonfruit Refresher, a strawberry flavor shot, oat milk, and Strawberry Cold Foam. Customers who purchase one on July 17 can receive a limited-edition Parke tumbler while supplies last, with a limit of one per transaction.

Dunkin’ Rewards members will also be able to order the Parke Perfect Sips lineup through the app. The menu includes the Blueberry Vanilla Protein Latte, Strawberry Cloud Matcha, Splashberry Dunkin’ Zero, Pink Pineapple Sparkling Refresher, Strawberry Sparkling Limeade, Pink Mango Daydream Refresher, and Coconut Cloud Limeade.

The fashion side of the collaboration launches July 17 at 10 a.m. ET on Parke’s website. The collection includes two $135 Varsity Mocknecks in Latte and Espresso colorways, both featuring Parke’s varsity logo in Dunkin’s signature colors, plus donut embroidery and a co-branded patch. There is also a $17 pink claw clip with Parke and Dunkin’ branding.

Then, on July 20 at 10 a.m. ET, Dunkin’ will release $24.99 stainless-steel tumblers in Latte, Espresso, and Pink.

There is clearly a lot happening here, but the drinks are still the main event. I tried four of them ahead of the launch, and the lineup ranged from extremely sweet to genuinely refreshing.

Parke Daydream Refresher

The Parke Daydream Refresher is exactly what it looks like: very pink and very sweet.

With the strawberry base, added strawberry flavor, oat milk, and strawberry cold foam, it tastes a little like candy in a cup. That is not necessarily a bad thing, especially for anyone who prefers dessert-like drinks, but it was richer and sweeter than what I would usually order.

The creamy oat milk gives it a smooth texture, while the cold foam pushes the strawberry flavor even further. I would probably treat this as an occasional afternoon drink rather than something I would reach for every morning.

Strawberry Cloud Matcha

The Strawberry Cloud Matcha combines matcha, whole milk, vanilla flavor, and Strawberry Cold Foam.

Dunkin’s matcha already runs on the sweeter side, and adding strawberry cold foam made this the richest drink I tried. The matcha flavor struggled to come through beneath the vanilla and strawberry, so it leaned more toward a sweet strawberry milk drink with a hint of earthiness.

Anyone who already loves Dunkin’s sweeter matcha drinks may appreciate the extra strawberry flavor, but it was not the best fit for me.

Pink Mango Daydream Refresher

This was easily my favorite drink in the lineup.

The Pink Mango Daydream Refresher blends mango and pineapple flavors with oat milk and Strawberry Cold Foam. I was not sure how the creamy texture would work with the tropical fruit, but it ended up making the drink feel smooth and almost dessert-like without becoming too heavy.

The mango comes through clearly, while the pineapple adds enough acidity to keep everything balanced. It was unexpected, but it was also the drink I kept going back to.

Strawberry Sparkling Limeade

The Strawberry Sparkling Limeade was the most refreshing option I tried.

It combines limeade and strawberry flavor with sparkling water, giving it a bright, lightly sweet finish. Compared with the creamier drinks, this one felt much lighter and easier to drink, especially on a hot day.

The strawberry is noticeable without overpowering the lime, and the bubbles make it feel like a more interesting version of a classic summer limeade. This is the one I would order if I wanted something cold and refreshing rather than sweet and creamy.

Final Thoughts

The Dunkin’ x Parke collaboration has a drink for just about every kind of summer order. The Parke Daydream Refresher and Strawberry Cloud Matcha are firmly on the sweeter side, while the Strawberry Sparkling Limeade is lighter and more refreshing.

The Pink Mango Daydream Refresher was the standout for me. The combination of tropical fruit, oat milk, and Strawberry Cold Foam sounds like it could be too much, but the creamy texture worked surprisingly well with the mango and pineapple.
