Dunkin Donuts’ new collaboration with Kylie Jenner has social media buzzing thanks to its bright pink drinks and nostalgic “King Kylie” branding. But after trying all three beverages, one San Diego TikToker came away convinced that only one deserves the attention.
Food content creator Natalie Ludwig (@eatsbynat) sampled every drink in Dunkin’s limited-time King Kylie Collection and shared her unfiltered reactions in a TikTok that has attracted attention from curious customers wondering whether the celebrity collaboration lives up to the hype.
The collection, which launched nationwide on July 8, features three pink-themed beverages inspired by Jenner’s “King Kylie” era: the Candy Pink Lemonade Refresher, Vanilla Pink Cloud Latte, and Pink Lemon Drop Suncloud Lemonade. The drinks headline Dunkin’s expanded summer menu and are only available for a limited time.
Ludwig tried them one by one, and one flavor stood out
Ludwig started with the Pink Lemon Drop Suncloud Lemonade, which combines oat milk lemonade with strawberry cold foam. After admiring its appearance, she took a sip and immediately admitted, “Oh, that is so weird.”
While she enjoyed some elements of the drink, she couldn’t get past one key ingredient. “It’s super creamy. I love the combination of the oat milk and the strawberry cold foam,” she said. “But I think the lemonade is throwing me off a little bit.”
She concluded that the citrus and oat milk didn’t belong together. “I don’t think it works well with oat milk,” Ludwig said before adding, “not terrible, but I would never order it again.”
Ludwig’s next stop was the Candy Pink Lemonade Refresher, a blend of pink pineapple flavor, lemonade, and dragonfruit pieces. This one earned a dramatically different reaction. “It’s absolutely delicious,” Ludwig said. “Lemonade and pink pineapple just go so well together.” She described the drink as sweet and refreshing, although she wished the pineapple flavor came through a bit more strongly.
The final beverage was the Vanilla Pink Cloud Latte, an iced French vanilla latte topped with strawberry cold foam. Before even tasting it, Ludwig noticed something disappointing. She pointed out that after sitting for only about five minutes, “the entire cold foam disintegrated into the drink.”
The flavor also failed to impress. “I taste absolutely no strawberry at all,” she said, adding that even after sipping directly through the foam, “I don’t taste any strawberry at all. It just tastes like a French vanilla latte.”
Rather than recommending it as served, Ludwig suggested Dunkin’ should add actual strawberry syrup to the drink. On its own, she gave it a four out of 10. After finishing all three beverages, Ludwig declared the Candy Pink Lemonade Refresher the clear winner.
She ended her review by praising Dunkin’ for experimenting with celebrity partnerships while offering one final critique. “I think it’s definitely fun when they come out with celebrity collabs,” Ludwig said. “I just wish it was a little bit more tasty.”
Ludwig isn’t alone in favoring the refresher. Early reviews from food writers have also singled out the Candy Pink Lemonade Refresher as the standout of the collection. The oat milk lemonade divided tasters because of its unusual creamy-and-citrus combination. Ludwig’s comments included, “Oat milk and lemonade ?? 🤯,” and “oat milk and lemonade should be a crime 💀.”
