McDonalds White Chocolate Latte

New for the season, McDonalds takes advantage of its McCafe investment to bring us a white chocolate mocha latte.

First, a general warning about latte: they taste so good because they are packed with calories, and at 280 calories for a small? Be careful!

You can order the drink hot or cold. I ordered hot expecting it to be the typical nuclear heat found in McDonalds coffee and hot chocolate. Fortunately, the additional ingredients cool the drink down to a drinkable temperature.

The drink tastes smooth with just a hint of chocolate and coffee. The smooth taste comes from the whole milk I included. The white chocolate flavor becomes lost in the drink and is replaced by a more traditional milk chocolate flavor. I am reminded of Dunkin Donuts white hot chocolate - this latte pales in comparison.

I am not much of a Latte drinker, so, that might explain my low score. I give this drink a 2 out of 5. I will not be ordering another.
