Brandy and Monica are blending music and nostalgia with a new collaboration alongside Dunkin’. The R&B icons have partnered with the coffee chain to launch the Cereal ‘N Milk Latte, set to debut nationwide on August 20.
The drink combines espresso with cereal milk and a marshmallow flavor, aiming to evoke the nostalgic taste of the last sip from a cereal bowl.
The release coincides with the kickoff of The Boy Is Mine reunion tour — the first-ever co-headlining tour for the two artists, marking 25 years since their Grammy-winning 1998 hit of the same name.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Brandy explained that the idea stemmed from a creative pitch by Dunkin’, which played off the title of their iconic song with the tagline “The Latte Is Mine.” Brandy recalled, “They reached out to us and had this exciting idea to play off of our song. We just thought that was so cute — and we fell in love with the drink!”
Monica highlighted the drink’s nostalgic flavor, describing it as “a creamy espresso latte blended with cereal and milk — something we all grew up eating anyway.” She added, “It has a familiar, nostalgic taste to it.”
The duo also stars in a promotional commercial by Betches Studios, in which they humorously compete over the new latte, echoing the rivalry theme of their hit song before Brandy jokingly demands peace and a latte.
As for the tour, both artists are keeping much of it under wraps. “We aren’t sharing any details about it,” Monica said, emphasizing their intention to preserve surprise for fans. “You don’t get to be genuinely surprised like you used to back in the ’90s.”
Confirmed guest appearances on the tour include Kelly Rowland, Muni Long, and American Idol winner Jamal Roberts. Brandy promised audiences “one of the best shows ever — vocally, stage, everything.”
The Cereal ‘N Milk Latte will be available at participating Dunkin’ locations, as well as through the app and online, beginning August 20.
