McDonald's/McCafe Watermelon Lime Fruit Splash short review

 

I’ve really come to enjoy the Watermelon Lime Fruit Splash from McDonald’s—so much so that I’ve ordered it three times in the past few weeks!

It captures that familiar summer watermelon flavour with an interesting balance between natural and slightly artificial notes. The hint of lime and lemon adds a refreshing citrus twist without overpowering the drink. The result is a light, fruity beverage that’s both sweet and tangy, making it a perfect choice for a hot day or when you're simply craving something vibrant and thirst-quenching.

McDonald’s says it’s “a refreshing lemonade beverage made with real lemon juice concentrate and real lemon pulp, with the sweet and tangy taste of watermelon and lime—served over ice.” And honestly, it lives up to that description quite well.

If you’re looking for a non-carbonated, fruity drink with just the right amount of citrus zip, this one is definitely worth a try!

The only complaint I have is that it’s a bit too sweet for my personal taste. While the fruity flavours are enjoyable, the syrupy sweetness can be a little overpowering. To make it more refreshing and better suited to my palate, I usually let the ice melt slightly before drinking it. I’ve also started adding a bit of water to dilute the drink, which helps tone down the sweetness without losing the essence of the flavour. It’s a small adjustment, but it makes a big difference in how much I enjoy it.

Overall, the Watermelon Lime Fruit Splash is a fun, fruity, and refreshing treat—perfect for quenching my thirst. The fact that I’ve happily ordered it multiple times says it all. With a little tweaking—like adding water and letting the ice melt—it hits just the right balance for my taste.
