McDonald’s to axe ‘phenomenal’ drink as fans cry it’s the ‘best creation ever made – how can you not make it permanent?’
MCDONALD’S is set to axe a “phenomenal” drink from its menu in just days.
The fast food is removing the very popular Biscoff Frappe from its offering this week.
It was introduced back in April and was immediately a hit with fans, but it will only be available until Tuesday 25.
After that, the treat is being replaced with a new Oreo-flavoured drink instead, as Sun Money exclusively reported.
But some foodies are not impressed that their beloved Biscoff edition is being cut and have voiced their thoughts on social media.
One wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: “The Biscoff Frappe is the best creation you’ve ever made – how can you not make it permanent? *cries*.”
Another posted: “McDonald’s Biscoff frappe is gone in 3 days [heartbroken emoji].”
Over the past few weeks, fans have been going wild for the drink, calling it “10/10” and “phenomenal”.
“Had a Biscoff Frappe today. Absolutely gorgeous,” one said.
A second wrote: “The Biscoff ice frappe from McD’s is 10/10.”
Others have pleaded for Maccies to keep both the Biscoff and the Oreo frappes at the same time.
One commented: “Wish they could have both on the menu.”
While another added: “Let’s see if [it’s] better than Biscoff” with an upset-face emoji.
The beloved frappe has a vanilla flavour base and is blended with ice and Biscoff crumb.
It’s then topped with caramel-flavoured cream and a crumb dusting.
When we tried it on launch day, we found it was really tasty, the combination of vanilla and biscuit bits works well together.
We also found it tasted like a milkshake but didn’t have the same thick consistency as the classic Maccies shakes.
The Biscoff Frappe costs £2.99 but you’ll need to be quick because it’s coming off menus at the end of the day tomorrow.
If you’re eager to give the new addition a go, it costs slightly more at £3.09 for a regular and £3.39 for a large.
The drink will contain the usual vanilla base blended with ice and Oreo pieces.
It is then topped with more Oreo pieces and cream.
The drink will hit the menu across all UK and Republic of Ireland restaurants on Wednesday, June 26.
However, it won’t be around for too long, as it will only be available until Tuesday, September 3.
The chain’s Caramel Iced Frappe will remain a permanent offering.

What else is new to the McDonald’s menu?
McDonald’s introduced a new summer menu on Wednesday, May 29.
The fast food giant added eight new items to its main offering, including returning favourites.
Among the range is the brand new Hat Trick burger and a new McFlurry.
The burger features three beef patties, two slices of cheese, grilled onions, mustard, and ketchup on a glazed sesame seed bun.
The Hat Trick is £5.89, but you can upgrade to a meal with medium fries and a drink for £7.69.
The Skittles McFlurry is a soft dairy ice cream swirled with chewy Skittles fudge pieces and sugary pearls, topped with a purple Skittles-flavoured sauce.
For those who prefer a warm dessert, the Galaxy Chocolate and Raspberry Pie (£1.99) has also been introduced.
The fast-food chain ditched its ‘3 for £3’ deal across its UK and Ireland stores earlier this month.
Under the offer, Maccies fans were able to choose three popular dishes and pay just £3 for the lot – meaning each item cost just £1 each.
We’ve asked the fast food chain if it plans to bring back the offer in the near future.
McDonald’s regularly shakes up its menu offering to give foodies a chance to try new and returning items.
If you want to try any of these additions, don’t wait – they will only be on menus for six weeks.
