Snowflakes are within the air, turkeys are on sale on the grocery retailer, and festive decorations are beginning to spring up throughout my neighborhood. That may imply just one factor: vacation seasonal menu gadgets are BACK!
With that declaration having been made, it was time for me to enterprise out to the wilds of my very own (literal) yard and head over to Dunkin’ to see what Santa introduced me.
Together with the standard cookie and candy-themed gadgets on supply was one thing new and distinctly completely different from the opposite vacation gadgets: the Berry Sangria Refresher.
When you aren’t acquainted with Dunkin’ Refreshers, they’re non-coffee methods to get a pleasant caffeine increase, in fruit flavors, and they are often combined with both tea, glowing water, or lemonade, relying in your explicit retailer’s picks. I attempted each glowing water and lemonade within the new Berry Sangria taste so I might evaluate and distinction for you.
Glowing Water Model
Mild, carbonated, and berry-forward, this was an absolute delight to drink. Because the identify implies, it was very refreshing, with blueberry as essentially the most outstanding observe, then a mild combined berry taste, and a pleasant, barely bitter ending observe that actually did remind me of wine.
The glowing water was a wonderful accompaniment to the daring flavors. I totally loved this beverage, and it surprisingly suits in with a holiday-themed menu. It’s nearly sufficient to make me forgive DD for discontinuing my beloved Halloween Blood Orange Refresher just a few years again… nearly.
Lemonade Model
Whereas I did like this model, I’ve to confess I preferred the glowing water one a bit extra. One thing concerning the lemonade’s sweetness detracts from the sangria’s taste. That bitter finish observe was diminished, and the entire drink felt a bit heavier, a bit much less refreshing.
That mentioned, it wasn’t dangerous in any respect, and if you happen to like lemonade, that is an fascinating new twist on an outdated basic with a burst of caffeine added—principally, a win in my e-book.
