Macca's drops its BIGGEST McCafé drinks range in over 30 years
06.07.2026
Fresh sips. New flavours. And a new fave for every mood.
Bev lovers, it’s time to up your sip game. McDonald's Australia is officially raising the bar on beverages, rolling out its biggest beverage launch since McCafé opened in Australia in 1993 - and it's not just a menu update… it’s a full-blown flavour takeover.
Victoria and Queensland got the first sip – now it’s your turn, Australia. Following months of anticipation, TEN brand-new beverages are landing across Australia from Wednesday, 15 July.
The range introduces bold new flavours, quality ingredients and three all new beverage categories – Refreshers, Energisers and Crafted Sodas – as well as a new collection of Iced and Cold Coffee. Think sweet twists, iced everything, fruity refreshers, bubble bursts and energy hits, all designed to match whatever mood you're in.
🥤 Australia is fully leaning into “little treat” culture
The launch comes alongside new research commissioned by McDonald’s Australia revealing what we already knew deep down: drinks aren’t just drinks anymore.
More than half (56%) of Aussies choose beverages based on their mood, personality, or energy levels, while (54%) see grabbing a drink as the perfect reward after a busy day.
Translation? We’re not just ordering drinks anymore – we’re curating vibes.
And Macca’s understood the assignment.

Annabel Fribence, Chief Marketing Officer, McDonald's Australia, said "For our customers, drinks have become so much more than just something to sip – they're a way to kick-start the day, recharge in the afternoon, connect with friends or simply treat yourself.
“To match the way Aussies are embracing beverages today, we’re rolling out our biggest beverage launch since McCafé opened in Australia over 30 years ago, featuring bold new flavours, quality ingredients and something for every mood and moment.
“McCafé has been part of Australia’s café culture for more than three decades, and this launch marks an exciting next chapter in that journey. The new range received a fantastic response during the trial, and now it’s time for Aussies across the country to pick their favourite. Mine’s the Berry Blast & Sprite!”
