McDonald's to test drinks from shuttering CosMc's spinoff at some restaurants
McDonald's is planning to test a new lineup of drinks inspired by its shuttering spinoff brand, CosMc's, at some restaurants later this summer. The fast food giant announced July 25 that roughly 500 select restaurants in some states will be part of an expanded market test for the drinks. The drinks will be aimed at "blending the best of CosMc's creativity with the convenience you know and love." Some of the drinks that will be in the lineup include a Creamy Vanilla Cold Brew and a Strawberry Watermelon Refresher, McDonald's said. CosMc's is a spinoff concept McDonald's announced in 2023 and rolled out last year. In May, McDonald's said it would be closing its five CosMc's locations, in states including Texas and Illinois, but that it planned to test some of the drinks in its regular restaurants. When is McDonald's introducing CosMc's drinks menu? McDonald's said it will begin rolling out market testing of the CosMc's drinks on Sept. 2. It's unclear how long the test will run for. Which CosMc's drinks will be tested at McDonald's? McDonald's said it's planning on including about 10 drinks in the test. Five were teased in the July 25 announcement, including: Which McDonald's will have CosMc's drinks? About 500 restaurants will be included in the market test, McDonald's said. It includes restaurants across Wisconsin, Colorado and the surrounding areas, according to the chain. McDonald's operates more than 14,000 locations in the United States. What is CosMc's? What to know about McDonald's spinoff brand CosMc's is a spinoff restaurant concept owned by McDonald's. While McDonald's launched five CosMc's in 2024, the company previously announced all of them would close on a rolling basis beginning this past June. The name and futuristic aesthetic of CosMc's was inspired by a mascot of the same name who appeared in ads in the late '80s and early '90s. CosMc's menu primarily features beverages including coffees, teas and frozen drinks. Soft-serve ice cream, sandwiches and small food items are also available.

You can thank Gen Z for new drink options from McDonald's, Starbucks
Gen Z famously doesn't drink much alcohol, but they still love a cold and tasty beverage. Young consumers' preference for unique, non-alcoholic drinks with eye-catching flavors is driving a surge in new offerings from chains like McDonald's, Starbucks, and Taco Bell. So, you can thank Gen Z for the unusual drink options coming to a fast-food restaurant near you. Think pickle-flavored slushies, coffee drinks with popping boba balls, and soda with dried fruit on the bottom. "As Gen Z is drinking less alcohol, they're looking for drinks that they can customize and get excited about," Michael Della Penna, chief strategy officer at the digital advertising research firm, InMarket, which publishes regular reports on fast-casual restaurant customer loyalty, told Business Insider. He added: "We've seen this across a bunch of different chains, and this trend is just another example of capitalizing on that interest and that buzz and that viral component that these drinks bring." Iced beverages from fast food chains saw 9.6% sales growth in 2024, outpacing burgers — and McDonald's now sees a $100 billion global opportunity, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday. McDonald's will test-launch its line of "Dirty Sodas," with add-ins like dried fruit and flavored syrups, in hundreds of stores nationwide beginning in September, the outlet reported. Starbucks last week launched its own "Secret Menu" of drinks, making custom add-ons easier to order with four new offerings pre-programmed into the app. Taco Bell, KFC, and Burger King are also rolling out their own new drink plays, making customizable — and usually cold — beverages the new marketing frontier for many national brands, Della Penna told BI. "Cold drinks, in particular, are hot right now," Della Penna said. "And the personalization aspect of it is aligned to how Gen Z orders their Starbucks and what they want to see when they walk into a McDonald's or a Dunkin' or another quick service restaurant: the ability to actually create their own drink in a way that they love and identify and come back to time after time." Recent examples that have been buzzy online include Sonic's Pickle Juice Slush — surprisingly, not the chain's foray into pickle-flavored slushies — and KFC's new Mountain Dew Sweet Lightning Peaches & Cream Soda, which was released June 9. "In the age where everything is visual, the ability to put something up on social media that is unique — and comment about it and get your friends to comment about it — is how that engagement happens with Gen Z," Della Penna said. Bright colors are particularly important for turning a drink into a conversation starter or viral social media moment, Della Penna said. And as far as flavors go? "The crazier, the better."
