Dunkin' Donuts is set to release booze-fueled versions of its iced teas and coffees in the coming weeks, officials have confirmed.

The beloved chain said Monday that its range of ready-to-drink 'spiked' cans will be available in eight different flavors across liquor stores. 

Although the beverages feature Dunkin's branding and recipes, they will not be sold in its takeout locations. 

The spiked coffees will come in the flavors: original, caramel, mocha and vanilla. They will feature 30 milligrams of caffeine and contain less than six percent alcohol by volume.

Meanwhile the hard tea options will be available in the flavors: slightly sweet, half and half, strawberry dragonfruit and mango pineapple.

It marks the second time the brand has ventured into the alcohol business. In the last few years it has created several beer with the New England-based company Harpoon Brewery.

The collaboration included the launch of a doughnut-infused beer, a coffee roll cream ale and a cold brew coffee porter, 

Brain Gilbert, vice president of retail business development at Dunkin' told CNN: 'We knew we had the opportunity to create something special when we saw the positive response to our previous seasonal collaborations for Dunkin’-inspired beers.'

He added that there was a 'growing appetite for adult beverages.'

President Scott Murphy also told the outlet that the latest range meant 'you can start and end your day with Dunkin'

Initially the drinks will be launched in 12 states including Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Rhode Island, Vermont, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas.

It has not been confirmed how much they will cost. While the iced tea will be available from late August, the iced coffee will not hit shelves until early September.

The venture reinforces the growing appetite for hard, ready-to-drink beverages. Over the last 12 months, the category amassed $10 billion in sales.

It marked a seven percent increase on the year prior, according to figures from NIQ
