The Dunkin' Donuts at 4 East Fordham Road celebrated its new Ice Spice Munchkins Drink with a party and mural unveiling on Wednesday, Sept. 20, 2023. Ice Spice, a rapper off stage known as Isis Naija Gaston, used to frequent the Fordham Road Dunkin during her upbringing in the Bronx.
The Ice Spice Munchkins Drink, according to Dunkin' Donuts, blends the establishment's signature frozen coffee with Pumpkin MUNCHKINS Donut Hole Treats, and is topped with whipped cream and caramel drizzle. Pictured here, Fordham Heights resident George Ortega, 21, attends the mural unveiling and tries the new signature drink.

Queens-based artist Kamille Ejerta, known as OG Millie, was commissioned to complete paint the mural celebrating the Bronx-born rapper. Ejerta completed the project in just five days, drawing inspiration from Dunkin' Donuts' brand colors, Ice Spice and the grittiness of New York City.
Ice Spice rose to quick fame earlier this year after her feature on English singer and record producer PinkPanthress' song "Boy's a Liar Pt. 2" became one of the most popular songs of the winter and spring. In just this year Ice Spice has gone on to release her own EP "Like..?" and has collaborated with megastars including Nicki Minaj in her song "Princess Diana" and Taylor Swift in her song "Karma (feat. Ice Spice)." She also featured on the song "Barbie World" this summer with Nicki Minaj and Aqua — the theme song of the movie "Barbie" that came out in July and was as of Sunday the 11th top-earning film of all time in domestic sales, according to Forbes. During the Dunkin' event on Wednesday, customers received a free Ice Spice donut with the purchase of her new drink.
The party at E. Fordham Road on Wednesday celebrating Ice Spice's collaboration with Dunkin' was amplified by DJ Will of Power 105.1.
