2. Caramel Swirl

The caramel swirl is the go-to classic for caramel lovers. It rivals the mocha swirl in popularity. Caramel swirl is a popular order in cold brew coffee with milk.

Try it in Dunkin’ caramel macchiato and tell us what you think.

Unfortunately, this classic was discontinued in early 2022 although some stores are yet to exhaust their inventory.

The Best Way to Order Flavor Swirls at Dunkin’ Donuts

When ordering flavor swirls at Dunkin’ Donuts, be sure to specifically mention “swirl” as the baristas are usually trained to make drinks with flavor shots unless the customer specifically mentions the swirls.

For example, when ordering a latte with the vanilla swirl, avoid saying a latte with vanilla because the barista will make the order with the vanilla shot instead of the sweetened vanilla swirl.
