Sabrina Carpenter, the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, has partnered with Dunkin’ to launch her own signature espresso drink, Sabrina’s Brown Sugar Shakin’ Espresso. Inspired by her hit single “Espresso” from the album Short n’ Sweet, the new beverage will be available nationwide starting December 31st.
This iced espresso drink combines the richness of bold espresso with the sweetness of brown sugar, all blended with creamy oat milk. Dunkin’ describes the drink as a “deliciously frothy, subtly sweet sip ready to kick off 2025 in style.” The collaboration extends beyond the beverage itself, with Carpenter starring in a new ad campaign for Dunkin’ titled “Shake That Ess’,” directed by Dave Meyers, who also directed Carpenter’s music videos for “Espresso” and “Taste.”

To further commemorate the partnership, Dunkin’ is releasing a limited-edition Shakin’ Espresso Shaker, available for purchase on ShopDunkin.com. The launch of Sabrina’s Brown Sugar Shakin’ Espresso coincides with Dunkin’s new $5 Meal Deal, which allows customers to pair two Wake-Up Wraps with a medium hot or iced coffee. This isn’t Carpenter’s first foray into food and beverage collaborations inspired by her music. Earlier this year, she partnered with Van Leeuwen Ice Cream to release an espresso-flavored ice cream featuring her image from the “Espresso” single cover art.
This collaboration comes on the heels of Carpenter’s six Grammy Award nominations, including Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for “Espresso,” and Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for Short n’ Sweet.

Carpenter recently reflected on her rising fame in an interview with TIME magazine, citing a joke by Dan and Eugene Levy during the 2024 Emmys as a moment of realization. She also discussed her performance at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, where she performed a medley of her hits, including “Espresso.” Carpenter expressed feeling prepared for these career milestones, attributing her confidence to her years of experience in the industry. She stated that if she were younger, she would have been “way more nervous and intimidated.” Carpenter’s partnership with Dunkin’ solidifies her position as a prominent figure in pop culture and highlights the increasing intersection of music and the food and beverage industry.
