EXCLUSIVE McDonald's has given fans a brand new menu for summer - and they have really turned up the heat. But alongside the new flavours, an old fan favourite is back after almost two decades
It seems like it's not just the weather that's warming up.
Double dipping just became a guilt-free zone thanks to McDonald's brand new sauces, which is has launched alongside two new burgers and a fan favourite.
there's nothing wrong with a classic Big Mac, but giving customers a whole new taste experience, there are some new main characters in town with new dips for your favourite meal.
Introducing the new Hot Honey, Korean BBQ and Ranch, as well as a spicy mayo, your chicken nuggets are about to get a real glow up. As a McDonald's fan myself, it was only right I tried them out ahead of the launch to see if they are about to change your Maccies order forever.
My usual go to is a BBQ sauce or a sweet curry, and with the arrival of the Korean BBQ it's safe to say I was intrigued. Not only are there the new dips incoming, the chain is also releasing a brand new Hot Honey Sausage and Egg McMuffin and the new Hot Honey McCrispy as well as the old fan favourite - the Cornetto McFlurry.
It seems like it's not just the weather that's warming up, and this is what I thought…
The new dips are definitely a trio with vengeance. The creamy ranch is a great addition for those who aren't a fan of BBQ or spicy dips. As a cult American favourite sauce it's nice to see we can get our hands on it now. It also has a cool and creamy buttermilk sauce with herb and garlic notes.
The Korean BBQ is very interesting. It's definitely something different for McDonald's and for me, it tastes a little like a teriyaki sauce that blends sweet soy, ginger, and garlic for a deep umami flavour.
I do like Asian inspired tastes, however I was expecting it to taste more like traditional BBQ and it didn't at all. So for BBQ lovers - it may not be what you're expecting but it's a nice take on a classic.
The Hot Honey is very, very sweet. McDonald's are slightly late to the hot honey craze but it's nice to see they have rolled it out. The sauce is very runny and sticky so napkins are definitely needed but it’s nice to have the sweet and spicy twist.
I personally think I prefer the dip by itself to dip nuggets or Chicken Selects in rather than in a McCrispy or the McMuffin. There is quite a kick in the aftertaste but for those that are a fan of hot honey this is great.
As for the new McCrispy and McMuffin, the sauce adds a nice kick, but for me a breakfast McMuffin can't be beaten when it's got the a dollop of ketchup in. I did really enjoy the hot honey McCrispy but again, very messy.
Alongside the new sauces, and back by popular demand, there is also the return of the Cornetto McFlurry after 17 years.
Served with the classic soft serve ice cream whipped up it's doused in either rich chocolate sauce and chunks or the strawberry sauce, both topped with tiny pieces of that classic Cornetto cone sprinkled on top.
There is also the new addition of the Big Arch with bacon for those who are seriously hungry and I also heard about a new secret menu hack created by one of the crew members - Hot Honey McFlurry.
I gave the Hot Honey McFlurry a go and I was shocked it strangely worked. I can't say it's one I would order myself, but the creaminess of the ice cream worked with the spicy kick from the hot honey.
Again, I think in my mind I was expecting it to be sweet like a caramel so it was a strange experience. If you want to try this daring McFlurry flavour it's part of an in app exclusive and you can order online and collect or have it delivered through the McDonald's app.
I think it's great McDonald's are branching out and serving up some new flavours for sauces. Overall my favourite was the ranch and I will definitely be double dipping my nuggets into this one.
All new McDonald's menu items will be available in store and online from Tuesday, July 14.
