McDonald’s has rolled out its latest menu across the UK, introducing a mix of new offerings and returning favourites for customers to enjoy.
For the first time, customers can now customise their Sprite Zero with a fruity syrup twist. Two flavour options, Green Apple and Mango & Passionfruit, are available to add a refreshing layer of flavour to the classic soft drink, served ice cold.
On the dessert side, McDonald’s has launched the Jaffa Cakes McFlurry, a nostalgic treat that blends soft dairy ice cream with chocolate-covered shortcake pieces and zesty orange sauce. The Milky Way McFlurry also returns, combining ice cream with milk chocolate stars, malt-flavoured pieces, and chocolate drizzle.
Spicy options are back, with Spicy Chicken McNuggets returning to the menu alongside Chilli Cheese Bites, which are served with a spicy chilli dip. Also returning is The Fajita Chicken One wrap, featuring creamy fajita sauce, salsa, onions, cheese, lettuce, and a choice of grilled or crispy chicken in a toasted tortilla.
Select regional items are also making a comeback, but the full list of returning and new favorites will be available through McDonald's UK channels.
