If you love Halloween and you love coffee — get excited. Dunkin’ has just announced its newest Halloween-inspired coffee drinks, available in Dunkin’ stores nationwide starting October 16th. Dunkin’ is certainly getting in the Halloween spirit with the name of its new drink, called the Potion Macchatio. The Potion Macchiato will be available as either an iced coffee or a hot coffee drink. This macchiato drink is made with blended layers of espresso and milk, topped with a vibrant, purple marshmallow ube flavor. The picture of this drink showcases its bright purple color — and we’re excited to see what its magical flavor will taste like.

In addition to the Potion Macchiato, Dunkin’ has released a few other Halloween-themed food items to order alongside your coffee. Options include a new Spider Specialty Donut and a Halloween Munchkins basket, featuring chocolate and orange spinkle-covered donut holes. While we do remember some Halloween-inspired donuts and bites available last year, this year brings an exciting new Halloween-themed coffee drink to the menu.
