The new beverages include cold coffees, fruity refreshers, crafted sodas, and energizing sips.

Among them for coffee drinkers are the Toasted Vanilla Frappe and Creamy Vanilla Cold Brew, giving a new twist to some established AM favorites.

The move comes as McDonald’s aims to meet the evolving tastes of its customers, particularly Gen Z fans who are turning to flavorful drinks as a go-to treat.

The chain is also testing its take on “dirty soda” and following the trend of beverage-focused offerings in the fast-food industry, with other chains like Dunkin’ and Chick-fil-A introducing their own creative concoctions.
