CANTON, Mass., Jan. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The New Year brings
a new espresso beverage choice to keep Dunkin' Donuts guests
energized throughout 2017. Dunkin' Donuts today unveiled the
Americano as a new, permanent addition to its variety of
premium, specially crafted coffees and espressos, joining a lineup
that includes lattes, macchiatos, Cold Brew coffee and
more. Available now at participating Dunkin' Donuts
restaurants nationwide, the Americano is served hot and combines
two shots of Dunkin' Donuts' 100% Rainforest Alliance Certified
espresso with hot water, creating a bold beverage with a rich,
robust flavor.
According to Jeff Miller, Dunkin'
Brands' Executive Chef and Vice President of Product Innovation,
"Americano offers a perfect beverage to begin a new year, bringing
forward the pure flavor of Dunkin' Donuts espresso featuring notes
of caramel and chocolate. As our brand continues to expand our
variety of specially crafted coffees and espresso choices, we
believe Americano will resonate with guests seeking new, innovative
beverages to get going and keep going each day."
With the 2017 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic® on January 2, Dunkin' Donuts became the official
