Dunkin 48-ounce – Dunkin is rolling out its viral 48-ounce beverage buckets to locations nationwide on May 22, with just 25 buckets per store for a limited run. Each $12.99 bucket can be filled with iced coffee or refreshers and is customizable, but it is not refillable at Dunk
A Dunkin’ fan with a 48-ounce habit may not need to hunt down one of the buckets much longer. The chain is releasing its viral beverage buckets at locations nationwide, and there’s a date—and a small supply—that matters.
Dunkin’ is launching 48-ounce beverage buckets across the country on May 22, the company confirmed. Each bucket is designed to be filled with iced coffee or Dunkin’ refreshers. and customers can customize their drink with their preferred flavors and sweetness. The catch is availability: the buckets will be sold for a limited run, and each store will have only 25 buckets.
For shoppers who want one of the collectible cups, the details are straightforward. The buckets carry the Dunkin’ logo, come with a handle and a straw, and cost $12.99 each. After a customer buys a bucket, it is not refillable at Dunkin’ locations.
The rollout follows months of early testing. Dunkin’ first tried the buckets at a limited number of locations in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and it later faced a wave of online speculation when posts surfaced showing buckets for sale at some locations.
In February, social media chatter took off after images appeared online. Posts on X and Reels drew millions of views within days. Those early posts described three specific drink options that customers could put into the 48-ounce bucket: a strawberry dragonfruit lemonade refresher for $9.49; a blueberry cobbler iced latte for $11.49; or a caramel coco iced coffee for $8.89.
The sequence—from limited testing in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. to February posts that spread quickly. to a national launch with 25 buckets per store—leaves little room for procrastination. With the bucket not refillable after purchase. the decision becomes simple: get there early. or don’t expect a second chance.
As of now, Dunkin’ says May 22 is the day the 48-ounce buckets will show up at Dunkin’ locations nationwide, with $12.99 pricing, handle-and-straw buckets, and customized iced coffee or refreshers inside. The limited-run supply per store—just 25—will likely decide who walks out with one.
