Luckily it tasted way better than it looked, and I think it was a smart move to add Irish Creme to a macchiato. Once mixed, the macchiato took on a nauseous green tinge that made it look like it had eaten some bad oysters. However, the sweetness of the syrup with whatever was used to give it a faux whiskey flavor oddly gave it notes of cherry and almond that, while tasty, would make more sense in an Amaretto flavor swirl. Dunkin’ definitely got the essence of Irish cream right and did a great job mimicking the taste and slight burn of the alcohol in this swirl. I took a sip of just the Irish Cremed milk before mixing the two halves, and it was rich and delicious. I’ve heard of people drinking a simple two ingredient cocktail of Bailey’s and milk, and I totally get it now. With the espresso on top, there was a unique color blocking effect that would cause a few rubbernecks from passersby, but I honestly didn’t find the combination of colors all that attractive. It was drizzled into 2% milk (the default at that store) in the bottom half of my to-go cup, which lightened the shade to a pastel.

And it’s a reasonable thing to ask: Dunkin’ introduced the Shamrock Macchiato in a news release only two days after the iconic St. I assume this is the answer to the first question that popped into your head when you saw the product name. ![]()
