MCDONALD’S is shaking up its menu in September and amongst the items added will be a never-before-seen hot drink.
The fast-food giant is known for its extensive drinks menu, serving a range of coffees, frappes and shakes.
Reporter Laura McGuire gave the new Twix latte a tryThe drink joins the new menu from September 4Andrew StyczynskiFans of Maccies’ hot drinks will love the limited edition flavour
In the past, fans of the chain have been treated to a number of limited edition cold drinks, such as the Biscoff Frappe.
But this time, the home of the Golden Arches is spicing up its hot drinks range.
On September 4, it will bring out a brand new Twix Latte for customers to try across its more than 1,450 restaurants.
The only other latte McDonald’s currently has on offer is its classic Toffee flavoured one, so the new twist will be a welcome change.
The coffee based Twix drink comes with a caramel blend of coffee.
A regular will costs £2.69 while a large costs £3.29.
The Sun tried out a cup of the chocolate inspired beverage at the McDonald’s HQ a few week before it launched in stores.
When it comes to McDonald’s coffee, I have only ever tried its frappe range and enjoy them very occasionally as a treat.
So, I was really curious to try the new Twix Latte and expand my pallet.
First thing’s first, if you are a fan of caramel based drinks, you will enjoy this.
And if you have a super sweet tooth, even better.
The latte is blended with caramel and topped with chocolate cream and dusted with very small pieces of Twix.
If anything, it reminded me of hot version of its classic iced caramel frappe but with a more chocolatey flavour to it.
I think if you like Starbuck’s caramel macchiato you would also enjoy this – and it’s a few quid cheaper, too.
My usual coffee order is either a strong black Americano or a cappuccino, so there was not enough caffeine in this drink for my personal taste.
However, I can see how this would appeal to fans of milder coffee-based drinks or someone in need of a sweet pick me up.
The drink is otherwise enjoyable and is worth trying out if you are a fan of the classic caramel biscuit chocolate bar.

GOOD Morning Britain anchor Susanna Reid was left fighting back tears on her first day back on the ITV series after the summer break.
The mum of three, 53, admitted “it makes me feel sick” as she and co-presenter Ed Balls, 57, tackled a hugely emotional interview on Monday.
Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid choked back tears during a heart-wrenching interview on the ITV showITVShe admitted ‘it makes me feel sick’ during a chat about the impact of knife crime and Ninja swordsITVWest Midlands PoliceRonan Kanda, 16, was killed after being attacked by a Ninja sword in 2022[/caption]
His mum Pooja told how her family had been ‘destroyed’ by the tragic murderITV
The schoolboy – who Pooja described as “charismatic” – was stabbed with a Ninja sword in a case of mistaken identity as he walked the streets of Wolverhampton listening to his music.
In the ITV daytime studio, producers had brought a host of huge knives and they sat in a display cabinet alongside the discussion.
As they were brought on-set, Susanna confessed: “It makes me feel sick.
“I feel sick just being in the presence of them.”
She told the panelists how the show producers, who had bought the knives online, had not been asked for age verification.
She confirmed they would be sent to a surrender point straight after the show – yet it was highlighted how many of the weapons would not be included in the Government’s new zombie knife and machete surrender scheme.
It meant weapons like the one which killed Pooja’s son and was plunged to his heart, will still be available.
Wearing a “say his name” T-Shirt, she was campaigning for Ninja swords to be included in the ban.
While Susanna was clearly shocked by the details unfolding, she became hugely emotional as the proud mum paid tribute to her son.
Talking about the impact of his brutal murder, which came when Ronan was walking back from his friend’s house after buying a Playstation controller, his mum said: “This has absolutely destroyed out family in pieces.
“You [the killers] haven’t taken the lives of the individual, you have taken other lives with you.”
“Absolutely destroyed us. But I will carry on campaigning because I believe that if someone had done that for me, my son would be here for me.”
Ed could be heard in the background empathising with her hugely emotional claim.
Pooja’s eyes filled with tears as she told how the teen’s school pals had filled in gaps about his character.
She told how it was through the memories of others they got to know more about their son and said: “The other children told us stories about him.
“I was like ‘wow that’s my son.’
“And that proud moment I carry today about Ronan – Ronan is an amazing child.”
Susanna, who had pulled on her glasses, took a big gulp of air as she tried to stable her emotions.
She choked back tears as she said: “That was so powerful, thank you so much.
“All credit to you and all power to you.
“I find it absolutely astounding.”
Last week, her fellow GMB host Kate Garraway pulled out the tissues as she fought back tears talking about the murder of a teenager by a known sex offender.
She asked the parents of Leah Croucher “how do you cope?” as they opened up on their grief, which was compounded by the suicide of Leah’s brother during her disappearance.

A MASSIVE fireball explosion near The 02 Arena was caused by a convicted paedophile who blew up a BBC lorry while filming naked on his film set.
Sex offender Jacky Jahj, 38, loaded an old BBC truck and Union Jack draped vehicles with explosives in a pre-planned blast and filmed while the fire went out of control.

Hundreds of calls were made to emergency services with many local people fearing there had been a terrorist attack.
Panicked residents caught the inferno on video from miles around as it sent flames and black smoke into the London sky.
Disgraced director and actor Jahj was jailed for four years in 2016 after being found guilty on four counts of sexual activity with two 15-year-olds after posing as a film producer.
Around 70 crew members have already walked out of his latest production dubbed ‘Project Dover’ after the shocking stunt.
A set worker described police vehicles and a BBC truck that were loaded “with explosives” which are thought to be the explosions which spread fear in communities across East London a week later.
The terrifying explosion was triggered by using gun powder and a detonation cord, which sent the roof of a police van 50ft in the air at an open-air yard in Silvertown, Newham.
One video posted on Reddit shows a naked Jhaj casually walking nearby as firefighters battle the searing flames while black smoke billows into the sky
Blasts were heard on Saturday on each side of the Thames near Canning Town when three loud explosions shocked residents hailing from a film set whose producer was not yet identified.
Residents were not warned of the film production stunts, except for a post to the Borough of Greenwich’s official Facebook page.
The shock following the explosions resulted in over 90 calls to emergency services and the London City Airport shutting down operations for the evening.
A photo which the employee shared with The Sun shows a BBC World News 18-wheeler with debris which can be assumed to come from an explosion in front of it.
Around the truck, there are also two police vehicles and a drone flying overhead.
The whole scene took place in front of the O2, just in front Canary Wharf.
One video of the fire shows it burning before it erupts in a bright orange explosion, reportedly the third eruption of the night.
The London Fire Brigade said it had “tackled” the blaze with four fire engines and 25 firefighters to get it “under control”.
It said in a statement: “One van was destroyed by the fire and most of a car and lorry were damaged by the fire.
“There are currently no reports of any injuries.”
One witness said they heard “absolutely enormous and very loud explosions” next to their flat and a shipping container was on fire.
The Met Police said in a statement it is aware of the reports of explosions.
The force said: “This was part of a pre-planned filming event in the Canning Town E16 area.
“There is no risk to the public.”
Some witnesses stated a BBC shipping container is on fire while one image showing a BBC World News truck earlier at the site.
The corporation filmed near the location last weekend with it involving a “loud explosion” the Royal Borough of Greenwich said.
