Dunkin’ has brought back their, as they call, beloved Pink Velvet Macchiato in 2024. Technically, it was brought back at the end of December 2023 but who’s counting days when all we’re asking is if it is vegan?
Because, let’s be honest… with the discontinuation of Dunkin’s dairy alternative, coconut milk
, we’re all hoping for some vegan-friendly positivity.
Is Dunkin’s Pink Velvet Macchiato Vegan?
No. The Dunkin’ Pink Velvet Macchiato’s main component, the Pink Velvet Flavored Swirl Syrup, contains dairy. There is no way around this which makes it not a vegan-friendly or dairy-free drink.Â
According to Dunkin’s ingredient guide, the Pink Velvet Flavored Swirl Syrup contains:
Pink Velvet Flavored Swirl Syrup: Sweetened Condensed Nonfat Milk (Nonfat Milk, Sugar), Sugar, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Water, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Vegetable Juice (Color), Potassium Sorbate (Preservative), Annatto Extract (Color), Salt
Does Dunkin’ Offer a Non-Dairy Drink Comparable to the Pink Velvet Macchiato?
Technically, no. The Pink Velvet Drink is espresso with red velvet cake flavor and notes of cream cheese frosting.
Are you crying like I am? That sounds so good!
The best we can give you is to order a Raspberry Mocha Macchiato with Oat Milk.
Here’s how you will do this is:
- Order a Macchiato with Oat Milk, Mocha Swirl and Raspberry Flavoring
If a macchiato is not your type of drink, we have ordered this combo in a latte and an iced coffee. Both were very good!

We also have a guide that only has Dunkin’s 2024 Winter menu items, which is what the Pink Velvet Macchiato is a part of. In this one, we go into detail about the other menu items they have debuted this winter and if any of them are vegan-friendly as well.
