Keurig Dr Pepper bets on iced coffee with espresso concentrate. The coffee giant's new innovation will be available across four of its global coffee brands in black, caramel and mocha flavors. Published Oct. 8, 2026 Dive brief: * Keurig Dr Pepper is deepening its presence in iced coffee and customized beverages with the global launch of liquid espresso concentrates. * The new innovation will be available across four of the coffee company's brands, including L'Or, Jacobs, Kenco and Douwe Egberts. The products will be available in 20 countries in Pure Black, Sweet Caramel and Rich Mocha flavors. * The launch builds on Keurig Dr Pepper's experience in bringing liquid coffee to offices, hotels and restaurants. Now with a CPG offering for the brews, Keurig Dr Pepper is taking on popular concentrates from Starbucks and Nescafe. Dive insight: Cold coffee is one of the fastest-growing global coffee trends, particularly among Generation Z, and Keurig Dr Pepper wants to meet the moment with the new CPG line. "Comparable launches have demonstrated the format's ability to attract consumers who are entirely new to the retail coffee category, highlighting its potential to expand the market while creating new occasions for existing coffee drinkers," Ricard Barri Valentines, chief marketing officer for Keurig Dr Pepper's coffee operation unit, said in a statement. "Above all, espresso concentrate is an open invitation to experiment, remix and make coffee your own." The cold brew coffee market is valued at $3.79 billion, and is expected to grow at a 17% growth rate by 2031, according to Mordor Intelligence. Keurig Dr Pepper said the new capability highlights its platforming strategy, in which it uses one platform to scale innovation across its portfolio. The offering comes as Keurig Dr Pepper is preparing to divide its coffee and beverages business into two independent entities. Last week, it appointed Russ Torres to lead the coffee spinout, which will include Keurig, Peet's and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. In Keurig Dr. Pepper's most recent earnings report, net sales grew 75.6% year over year to $7.31 billion, primarily due to the acquisition of Peet's. Excluding Peet's, sales grew 7.3%.

Dr Pepper announces new Ice Cream Float flavor coming in 2027. Dr Pepper is expanding its permanent lineup with a new flavor.

The new soda combines Dr Pepper's signature blend of 23 flavors with creamy vanilla ice cream flavor and notes of caramel and butterscotch. Unlike many of the brand's recent experimental flavors, Ice Cream Float will not be a limited-time release. Keurig Dr Pepper said the drink will launch nationwide in the US in February of 2027 in cans and 20-ounce bottles. Fountain and frozen versions are expected to follow around the middle of the year. Both regular and Zero Sugar versions will be available. Dr Pepper expands its flavor strategy. The launch forms part of a push by Keurig Dr Pepper to capitalize on consumers' appetite for unusual flavors combined with familiar brands. The company said its research shows younger consumers are exploring a wider range of beverage categories and flavors while remaining attracted to nostalgic brands. Keurig Dr Pepper also said it delivered the top carbonated soft drink innovation in each of the past three years, based on Circana data. Ice Cream Float follows several other flavor experiments from Dr Pepper, including Blackberry, Strawberries & Cream and the return of Creamy Coconut.

Still, the positive session suggests investors did not react negatively to the company's latest product strategy. Kraken Crypto Exchange.
