Dunkin Refreshers: Flavors, Calories, Caffeine & Menu Guide

Dunkin Refreshers are Dunkin’s lineup of chilled, fruit-flavored drinks built on a green tea base instead of coffee. They come in a rotating set of flavors, several build options (lemonade, sparkling, oatmilk, protein milk), and a handful of ready-made variations like the Daydream Refresher and the Protein Refresher. The core lineup stays fairly stable, but Dunkin swaps in new flavors every season, so what’s on the menu in fall looks different from what’s on it in summer.

This guide covers the current flavors, how much caffeine and sugar they carry, what they’re made of, and how to build one that fits your taste.

Dunkin Refresher prices generally run from about $3.29 for a Small up to around $4.79 for a Large, though pricing varies by location, market, and drink variation. Daydream and Protein builds typically cost more than the classic Refresher.

What Are Dunkin Refreshers?

A Dunkin Refresher is a cold, fruit-flavored drink made from a fruit concentrate mixed with a liquid base. That base can be green tea, black tea, lemonade, oatmilk, protein milk, or sparkling water, depending on the location and the specific drink.

Unlike Dunkin’s coffee drinks, Refreshers contain no coffee at all. The caffeine comes from green tea extract instead, so the taste is fruity and light rather than roasted or bitter. Compared to Dunkin’s iced tea, Refreshers are sweeter, more concentrated, and built around fruit flavor first.

People choose Refreshers when they want:

• A lighter caffeine option than coffee
• Something fruity and cold rather than roasted
• A dairy-free drink (in the classic build)
• A drink that still gives a mild energy lift

Dunkin Refreshers Menu (Fall 2026)

Dunkin refreshed its Refreshers lineup on August 19, 2026, as part of its fall menu launch. Here’s what’s currently orderable:

Dunkin runs limited-time Refresher flavors on top of this base lineup nearly every season (cherry drinks and a Limeade Refresher were the summer 2026 headliners, for example). Always check the app for what’s active at your location, since seasonal flavors rotate out quickly.

Dunkin Refresher Flavors

Strawberry Dragonfruit: sweet and berry-forward with a mild tartness from the dragonfruit. A safe first choice if you’re new to Refreshers.

Mango Pineapple: the sweetest of the year-round flavors, tropical and bright orange in color.

Peach Passion Fruit: a balanced, slightly tangy option that’s less sweet than Mango Pineapple.

Blueberry Pomegranate: bolder and a bit more tart, with a berry finish.

Berry Clementine: the newest addition, mixing citrus clementine against a berry base for a tarter, less candy-sweet profile than the tropical flavors.

Seasonal flavors like cherry, limeade, and watermelon-kiwi combinations show up periodically and are not permanent menu items.

Dunkin Refresher Variations

Classic Refresher

Fruit concentrate built over ice with a green tea (or black tea) base.

Lemonade Refresher

Swaps the tea base for lemonade. Tarter and slightly sweeter, with less caffeine since it skips the green tea.

Sparkling Refresher

Uses sparkling water as the base for a fizzy, soda-like texture.

Daydream Refresher

The current Daydream is the Berry Daydream Refresher: Berry Clementine Refresher blended with oatmilk and topped with Sweet Cold Foam. Dunkin has also run Daydream versions with other Refresher flavors and toppings (banana cold foam, marshmallow cold foam) during past seasonal launches.

Protein Refresher

Any Refresher flavor can be built with protein milk instead of tea, lemonade, or water. Dunkin’s standard protein milk adds about 15g of protein per medium. Limited-time protein collaborations, like Megan’s Mango Protein Refresher, have run closer to 15g protein and 300 calories in a medium.

Dunkin Refreshers Calories & Nutrition

Nutrition for the standard Refresher base (values will shift with lemonade, oatmilk, protein milk, or cold foam add-ins):

A Protein Refresher runs higher on both calories and sugar because of the added protein milk, typically landing closer to 280-300 calories in a medium. Always check Dunkin’s official nutrition calculator for your exact order, since size, base, and add-ins all change the totals.

How Much Caffeine Is in Dunkin Refreshers?

Caffeine in a standard Refresher comes from green tea extract, not coffee:

• Small: ~66mg
• Medium: ~99mg
• Large: ~132mg

For comparison, that’s noticeably less than Dunkin’s iced coffee (which runs closer to 200mg in a medium). Lemonade-based Refreshers have less caffeine than the tea-based build, since they skip the green tea entirely. Some Dunkin drinks are caffeine-free, but the standard Refresher line is not, so don’t assume every variation is caffeine-free without checking.

Dunkin Refreshers Ingredients

The standard Refresher concentrate is made from:

• Water, sugar, natural flavors, citric acid, and beta carotene (for color)
• Green tea extract (the caffeine source)
• A vitamin blend: Niacinamide (B3), D-Calcium Pantothenate (B5), Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (B6), and Cyanocobalamin (B12)

The base liquid and any add-ins (lemonade, oatmilk, protein milk, cold foam) change the ingredient list, so a Daydream or Protein Refresher will have a different allergen profile than the classic build. Always check Dunkin’s current allergen guide for the specific variation you’re ordering.

What Do Dunkin Refreshers Taste Like?

The tea-based Refreshers taste fruity and light, closer to a fruit punch than a soda. The lemonade builds are noticeably more tart and sweet. Sparkling versions add a fizzy texture without changing the base flavor much. Daydream Refreshers taste creamier and less tart, since the oatmilk and cold foam soften the fruit flavor.

Dunkin Refreshers Sizes

Dunkin Refreshers Prices

Refresher prices generally run from about $3.29 for a Small up to around $4.79 for a Large, though pricing varies by location, market, and drink variation (Daydream and Protein builds typically cost more than the classic Refresher). Dunkin frequently runs Rewards promotions, like $3 medium Refreshers, so check the app for active deals in your area. Treat any single price you see online as an estimate, not a nationwide number.

Are Dunkin Refreshers Vegan or Dairy-Free?

The classic Refresher (tea, lemonade, or sparkling water base) contains no dairy. The base concentrate itself doesn’t list milk, eggs, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, or wheat as ingredients, though cross-contact is possible at any location.

Once you add oatmilk (Daydream Refresher) or protein milk (Protein Refresher), the drink is no longer dairy-free unless the protein milk used is plant-based, which varies by product. Always confirm the current ingredient list for your specific build before assuming a variation is vegan or dairy-free.

How to Customize a Dunkin Refresher

• Choose a flavor: Strawberry Dragonfruit, Mango Pineapple, Peach Passion Fruit, Blueberry Pomegranate, or Berry Clementine
• Pick a base: green tea, black tea, lemonade, oatmilk, protein milk, or sparkling water
• Add or remove cold foam
• Adjust sweetness at the counter
• Combine two Refresher flavors where the app allows it (Dunkin’s “Mix Your Own Refresher” feature)

Only the bases and toppings Dunkin currently supports will work, so check the app menu before ordering an unlisted combination.
