On Tuesday, Kahlua announced a collaboration with Dunkin’, America’s largest coffee and donuts brand, unveiling a new permanent addition to its line of liqueurs: Kahlúa Dunkin’ Caramel Swirl Cream Liqueur.

“Kahlúa is famous for great-tasting Espresso Martinis and now we’re stirring up everyday occasions with Dunkin’ for something special,” Kahlúa Vice President of Marketing Caroline Begley said in a news release. “We’re proud to partner with this iconic coffee brand and continue the partnership in exciting ways.”

Kahlua, known for its coffee liqueurs, marks its first foray into the cream liqueur category with this collab.

The brands recommends enjoying Kahlúa Dunkin’ Caramel Swirl neat, chilled or over ice — and most importantly, garnished with a Dunkin’ MUNCHKINS® Donut Hole.

The flavor is modeled after one of Dunkin’s best-selling flavor swirls. Kahlúa describes the new liqueur as a “luscious pour with caramel notes like toffee, vanilla and dulce de leche, blended with hints of coffee and chocolate.”

Kahlúa is the No. 1 coffee liqueur, per data from IWSR.

“This collaboration blends premium indulgence with everyday coffee culture,” Dunkin’ Vice President Retail Business Development Brian Gilbert said. “Kahlúa Dunkin’ Caramel Swirl is a bold step in the cream liqueur category for both brands and a delicious new treat for coffee and cocktail enthusiasts alike.”
