When Sabrina Carpenter partnered with Dunkin' Donuts to release Espresso-themed drink
Sabrina Carpenter and Dunkin' Donuts ended 2024 with an Espresso-themed collaboration. It manifested in the form of a new addition to their winter menu— Sabrina's Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso.
The exclusive beverage was available from December 31 and helped Carpenter fans close out 2024 on an Espresso high. It was created with oat milk for a creamy texture and brown sugar was added to provide a sweet undertone. In addition to being a collector's item for Sabrina Carpenter fans, it was also a treat for coffee enthusiasts looking to try something refreshing.
The collaboration was part of Dunkin' Donut's winter lineup, which also added an assortment of new treats other than Sabrina's Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso. For chocolate lovers, they had the Lava Cake Signature Latte and the Lava Cake Coffee, both rich in chocolaty goodness. Another addition to their lineup included a $5 Meal Deal, offering two Wake-Up Wrap sandwiches and a medium hot or iced coffee.
To promote the collaboration between Sabrina Carpenter and Dunkin' Donuts, the company launched a new advertisement campaign called Shake That Ess' starring the songstress herself.
Directed by Dave Meyers, the video features Sabrina Carpenter engaging in some entertaining wordplay as she crafts the perfectly-shaken Espresso.
