"Dunkin' launched its version of an energy drink, which it calls Zero, as a way to put its energy drink hat into the ring, too. However, these aren't your average energy beverages; instead, they only have 20 calories and 0 grams of sugar, hence their name. And if you're looking for a different source of caffeine aside from the brand's coffee concoctions, then these contain 145 milligrams of caffeine each. As of writing, the company has six flavors to choose from, so I took it upon myself to go and try the whole lot."
"All the Zero energy drinks use their respective flavorings, sparkling water, and ice to create a bubbly experience, so they taste somewhat like an Italian soda. Blushpop mixes Blackberry Tangerine and Tropical Mango flavors, which promise a fruity combination. It has a fruity taste, sure, but it's so sweet there's no way to distinguish what I'm tasting. It just tastes cloying on the tongue after swallowing and leaves a somewhat strange aftertaste that I needed water to get rid of; the flavor is likely from the zero-sugar elements used."
"To rank them, I mainly factored in various aspects of the flavor: how well the flavors worked, whether I could taste what it advertises, and whether I ever want to consume it again. If you're unsure whether you want to grab one of the Zero energy drinks or which one to order first, this may help you feel confident in your next order. Come with me as I get all caffeinated to try the six energy drinks - I definitely should have gotten one of Dunkin's breakfast sandwiches to help with the caffeine overload, though."
Dunkin’ launched Zero energy drinks in March 2026 to compete with upcoming sports and energy releases. Each drink contains 20 calories and 0 grams of sugar, with 145 milligrams of caffeine per serving. The lineup includes six flavors, and the drinks are made using flavorings, sparkling water, and ice, creating a bubbly, Italian-soda-like experience. Flavor evaluation focuses on how well advertised flavors come through, overall taste balance, and whether the drink would be consumed again. Blushpop combines Blackberry Tangerine and Tropical Mango, delivering a fruity flavor that is described as overly sweet, difficult to distinguish, and leaving a cloying aftertaste that requires water.
