Dunkin’ Refreshers caffeine count confirmed

For the non-coffee drinkers looking for a refreshing pick-me-up this summer.

For anyone who’s been wondering — yes, Dunkin’ Refreshers are caffeinated. But here’s the real question: just how much of a boost will you get from them? Like, will you stay up an hour past your bedtime, or will you be ready to run a 6k marathon at 3am? According to Dunkin’s own caffeine counts, their Refreshers deliver a pretty decent energy kick thanks to the green tea base.

A small 16oz Refresher clocks in around 66mg of caffeine. Not bad. Moving up to the medium 24oz size brings the caffeine count up to 99mg, while the large 32oz packs a more substantial 132mg punch. So yeah, these most definitely are NOT caffeine-free. The green tea is doing its job, providing a nice little lift to get you over the afternoon lull without giving you the shakes.

In fact, the Refresher caffeine levels are pretty much on par with a regular cup of Dunkin’ coffee. So, if you’re looking to transition to a more refreshing warm-weather beverage while still catching that coveted coffee buzz, the Refreshers might just become your holy grail this summer.

Of course, not everyone’s looking to caffeinate on a hot summer day. Dunkin’ has you covered there too. Just ask for your Refresher made with coconut milk or lemonade instead of green tea, and voila. You’ve got a fun, fruity, totally caffeine-free refreshment that’ll make all the #WaterTok Utah moms jealous.
