McDonald’s Japan introduces the Watermelon Frappe, a refreshing summer drink from July 31, featuring a watermelon juice base with whipped cream, kiwi, and banana sauce.
Beat the Summer Heat with McDonald’s Japan’s Refreshing New Watermelon Frappe, Available from July 31
Cold drinks have become more essential as hot summer days drain our energy, and McDonald’s has stepped up with a new beverage called the Watermelon Frappe.
Available from July 31, the drink features a smoothie base made of watermelon juice topped with whipped cream, kiwi, and banana sauce. Its bright red hue and kiwi seeds make it look like a watermelon in a cup, evoking refreshing summer vibes.
The first sip offers a fruity sweetness while the crunchy ice melts over the taste buds, creating the same refreshing sensation as biting into a juicy watermelon. It cools you down instantly, making it perfect for hot days. The sweet flavor of the watermelon is well-balanced by the tartness of the kiwi, and the whipped cream topping adds a creamy note, making the drink taste even sweeter as you mix it in. It's a perfect harmony of flavors that will leave you wanting more.
SoraNews24 reported that the Watermelon Frappe has been a hit, receiving high praise as a refreshing summer drink worth trying. The promotional campaign features actress and model Suzu Hirose and actor and singer Tomohisa Yamashita, known as “Yamapi,” adding to the beverage's appeal. By trying the Watermelon Frappe, you're enjoying a delicious drink and joining a trend that's taking the summer by storm.
McDonald’s offers a limited amount of pineapple frappe and a banana macaron for those who prefer other flavors. These new frappes are available at over 2,000 McDonald’s branches nationwide, but quantities are limited, so it's best to try them before the promotion ends in mid-September.
Suzu Hirose and Yamapi Highlight McDonald’s Japan’s New Watermelon Frappe and Fruity Treats
McDonald’s has been highlighting its McCafé range in Japan with the help of celebrities Suzu Hirose and Tomohisa Yamashita, also known as “Yamapi.”
In the new McDonald’s commercial, Hirose, dressed in red to match her drink, promotes the all-new Watermelon Frappe. This refreshing frappe, topped with whipped cream, kiwi, and banana sauce, features a watermelon juice smoothie base and is akin to biting into a watermelon.
Yamapi supports the two golden-hued treats on the menu: the Golden Pineapple Frappe and the Banana Macaron. The Golden Pineapple Frappe, previously released to rave reviews, has been renewed with an even juicier and refreshing whipped cream, golden pineapple sauce topping, and a golden pineapple juice smoothie base.
The Banana Macaron, a new addition, contains mildly sweet banana cream for a delightful fruity flavor. The frappes are priced at 490 yen (US$3.19) each, while the macaron is priced at 190 yen.
