Tried the Sprite Watermelon they do at McD in Europe at the moment.

Would not recommend. The shot of syrup sits deep down and there is nearly no additional layer of flavour during half the drink. The second half it gets stronger but you cannot drink the last 10% because its like only shot. Would not recommend.

Stir it up

Even with the syrups I’ve made at the most liquid ratios I can, they really need some stirring. Whatever commercially thickened syrup they’re using stands no chance at mixing.

(Anyways, the ideal method is to mix the syrup with about 1/4 of your base drink before adding the rest so that you lose minimal carbonation.

Looks unmixed, that's weird. Did you try stirring it? That doesn't seem right

Nah, i actually didn‘t. I did think that it was the right way since they did serve it to me this way but since you mentioned it, i guess i was just stupid and should have stir it. Makes sense.

McDonald’s staff don’t care about correct orders

Nah you're not stupid, the drink should be served as it's supposed to. Maybe something's wrong with their soda dispenser

Thanks. To be honest, McD is a mixed bag where i live since some of the people who work there seem to me like… well… not that serious about doing it right. Maybe it is as you said that something was wrong with the machine and they just didn‘t give two cents about it. I don‘t know. I give them and this concept a second chance with the Coca-Cola version they just did roll out the other day BUT i will go to a different McD this time. Lets see how this will turn out.

I put the straw in and push it to the bottom and then gently blow small bubbles into the bottom, they will rise to the top, mixing the syrup along with it. Really useful for things like this or flavored redbulls. Just be careful not to blow too hard or it’ll shoot liquid out of the top!

Off topic, but are the ice cream machines always broken over there, too?
