McDonald's is doing a staggered rollout of their newest McCafe offering, the Frappe, an ice-blended coffee beverage, not unlike Starbucks' Frappuccino, that comes in Mocha and Caramel flavors. It wasn't until recently that my local McDonald's starting serving them and I tried one for myself.
McDonald's Mocha Frappe is a concoction made from blending a liquid Mocha Frappe base (mostly water, cream, sugar, milk, coffee, and cocoa) and ice, then topping it with whipped cream and a chocolate drizzle. The price is $2.79 for a 16-ounce medium and $2.29 for a 12-ounce small.
If you like really thick shakes, McDonald's Mocha Frappe isn't for you. While icy, it's still fairly easy to drink which I don't mind. Upon tasting it I was surprised it didn't use a base of McDonald's soft serve; the taste is mostly vanilla creaminess tempered by cloyingly sweet chocolate and a hint of coffee. I would caution that there is a quite a bit of syrupy sweetness to it that some might not like. I like it, but I would like it better if it weren't so sweet.
In sum, if you grew up enjoying McDonald's Hot Fudge Sundaes, the taste will be very familiar to you. I have to say I liked it better than the last Starbucks Frappuccino I had and it's a fair bit cheaper too.

WOW, they just now got it at your area? I've been drinking Caramel Frappe's since maybe September here in SC. I think we were some of the first to have them because whenever I traveled around the Southeast, no other cities had them for the longest.
ReplyDeleteIt's now a must get for me (never had the mocha). Better than Sonic's Java Chillers, Burger King's Iced Mocha's and anything from Starbucks.
I am addicted to this. I have one every day. Rich, but icier than a milk shake so more refreshing on a hot day. I hope they never stop making these.
ReplyDeleteMMM. I better go by one right now because all this talk about them makes me hungry!!! I prefer Mocha better but if i couldn't choose i would settle for mocha to i guess! XD
ReplyDeleteLOL I WANT ONE SOOOO BAD I AM LITTERALLY GETTING MY CAR KEYS AND WALKING OUT THE FRONT DOOR RIGHT NOW MMMMMM!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhoa, don't get too excited there...
