What does the Cookie Butter Frappé taste like?
Tasting Table tried all three Cookie Butter drinks early:
- Frappé: the strongest cookie butter flavor, but "a little too one-note"
- Hot Latte: its favorite, creamy with strong coffee, though the cookie butter was hard to taste
- Iced Coffee: the mildest cookie butter flavor
Is the Frosted Cranberry Sprite the same as Winter Spiced Cranberry Sprite?
No. McDonald's Frosted Cranberry Splash is its own recipe, Sprite with orange and cranberry flavors plus cold foam and sprinkles. It isn't the bottled Winter Spiced Cranberry Sprite sold in stores.
