BALTIMORE - Dunkin' is celebrating the return of the Preakness Stakes to Baltimore next month by bringing back the Black Eyed Susan donut, a tribute to Maryland's official state flower and its horse racing tradition. 

The donut will be available at participating Dunkin' restaurants across Maryland from Wednesday April 26, until May 23.

The Black Eyed Susan donut is a yeast shell frosted with yellow icing and topped with chocolate sprinkles, accompanied by a glazed chocolate Munchkins donut hole treat.

In addition to the Black Eyed Susan donut, Dunkin' is also launching a new lineup of iced beverages to help customers stay refreshed during warmer days. The new offerings include the Raspberry Watermelon Dunkin' Refresher, Turtle Signature Latte, and Butter Pecan Crunch Frozen Coffee.

From May 1 to May 31, Dunkin' Rewards members can enjoy exclusive single-use offers through the Dunkin' Rewards app.
