This is the latest addition to Kahlúa’s permanent line of thoughtfully crafted liqueurs, marking Kahlúa’s largest investment in the cream liqueur category and Dunkin’s very first foray into cream liqueur.
“Kahlúa is famous for great-tasting Espresso Martinis and now we’re stirring up everyday occasions with Dunkin’ for something special,” said Caroline Begley, Vice President of Marketing, Kahlúa. “We’re proud to partner with this iconic coffee brand and continue the partnership in exciting ways.”
Featuring one of Dunkin’s bestselling flavor swirls, Kahlúa Dunkin' Caramel Swirl Cream Liqueur offers a luscious pour with caramel notes like toffee, vanilla and dulce de leche, blended with hints of coffee and chocolate. The finish is smooth and creamy with a sweet ending that combines Dunkin’s Caramel Swirl with Kahlúa’s rum and 100% Arabica coffee from Veracruz, Mexico. Recognized by the International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) with a Gold award2 for taste, this latest innovation delivers real coffee, real cream and real Dunkin’ Caramel Swirl flavor in one ready-to-pour simple serve.

About KAHLÚA
Originating from Mexico in 1936 and made with 100 percent Arabica coffee beans, Kahlúa remains the world's leading coffee liqueur. Its global popularity was inspired by the famous Kahlúa Ladies, the game-changing women-only management team that began to spread the word of this rich-tasting drink to the US and beyond in the 1960s. Every bean of coffee used to make Kahlúa is grown in shade plantations of four remote farming communities in the Mexican coastal region of Veracruz and handpicked. It's a relationship the brand has nurtured and continues to do so. We work closely with farmers to help them adopt more sustainable farming methods and improve their living conditions. Today, the 300 tons of premium-grade green coffee used every year for Kahlúa is sourced following our partner Fondo Para la Paz's three-pronged approach to sustainable development.
