contents An $n$-component link $L$ is said to be \emph{Brunnian} if it is non-trivial but every proper sublink of $L$ is trivial. The simplest and best known example of a hyperbolic Brunnian link is the 3-component link known as "Borromean rings". For $n\geq 2,$ we introduce an infinite family of $n$-component Brunnian links with positive integer parameters $Br(k_1, \ldots, k_n)$ that generalize examples constructed by Debrunner in 1964. We are interested in hyperbolic invariants of 3-manifolds $S^3 \setminus Br(k_1, \ldots, k_n)$ and we obtain upper bounds for their volumes. Our approach is based on Dehn fillings on cusped manifolds with volumes related to volumes of ideal right-angled hyperbolic antiprisms.
