Dunkin' is testing a new 48-ounce drink bucket that customers can fill with iced coffee, iced latte, or Dunkin' Refreshers. The buckets are currently only available at three stores in New Hampshire and two in Massachusetts, prompting some fans on social media to beg the chain to expand the offering to more locations.

Why it matters

Dunkin' has a history of offering its menu items in unique and oversized formats, like the Halloween Munchkins Bucket and a beach bucket filled with munchkins. The new 48-ounce drink buckets continue this trend and cater to customers who want a large, shareable beverage option.

The details

Customers can fill the 48-ounce buckets with iced coffee, iced latte, or Dunkin' Refreshers, as well as specialty drinks like Blueberry Cobbler Iced Latte, Caramel Coco Iced Coffee, or Strawberry Dragonfruit Lemonade Refresher. Dunkin' is not promoting the deal or stating a price point, but the response on social media has been positive, with fans calling it the "perfect insomnia cure" and the "best idea" from the chain.

  • Dunkin' began testing the 48-ounce drink buckets in February 2026.

The takeaway

Dunkin's new 48-ounce drink bucket demonstrates the chain's willingness to cater to customers' desires for unique and oversized menu items, even if the offering is currently limited to a few select locations. The positive social media response suggests there may be demand for the massive beverage option if Dunkin' chooses to expand it more widely.
