2 min read- McDonald’s is rumored to be testing a Sprite Berry Blast drink with blue raspberry flavor and cold foam.
- Fans on Instagram are comparing it to Nite Sprite from the Drake meal era, while others are noting its previous release at the now-defunct drink chain CosMc’s.
- Early Reddit reactions describe it as a blue raspberry Sprite with a more “handcrafted” feel.
McDonald’s might be entering its experimental soda era again. According to food news accounts and early test sightings, the chain is reportedly working on a new “Sprite Berry Blast” drink, and people online already have a lot to say.
The drink, which has allegedly been spotted at select test locations, appears to be a mix of Sprite, blue raspberry flavor, and a cold foam topping. Think of it less like a standard fountain soda and more like something you’d expect from a Swig drive-thru.
Nothing has been officially confirmed by McDonald’s yet, but that hasn’t stopped the internet from running with it.
On Instagram, reactions are split between excitement, confusion, and immediate comparisons to past McDonald’s drink experiments. One user commented, “Super ready for this one 🤩,” while another kept it simple with, “Woah.”
Others are already questioning whether the drink is actually new. “It’s literally just Nite Sprite from the Drake meal,” one commenter wrote, referencing the fan-favorite blue-toned Sprite variation that circulated during the Drake collab era. Another added, “Looks like the Nite Sprite we had in Canada, was delicious.”
While not the same as Nite Sprite, we’ve actually seen this soda in the wild before. The Sprite Berry Blast was previously on the menu at CosMc’s, the now-defunct beverage chain operated by McDonald’s. Fans who were missing their favorite CosMc’s drinks are now in luck, because it looks like the Sprite Berry Blast may make a return.
Still, not everyone is convinced this is worth the hype. One commenter bluntly called it “Liquid Smurf,” suggesting the drink might lean more toward novelty than necessity.
Over on Reddit, where early testers claim to have actually tried the drink, the reviews are a little more grounded. One user described it as “like a blue raspberry Sprite,” and noted that the cold foam gives it a more “handcrafted” feel than a typical soda.
At this point, it’s still unclear whether Sprite Berry Blast will roll out nationwide or remain a limited test item. But if this one does make it out of the test phase, it’s safe to say the reactions are already locked in. Whether people think it’s an inferior dupe of Nite Sprite or are already rejoicing the CosMc’s revival, they’re clearly paying attention.
