19 CosMc's Drinks, Ranked Worst To Best

If you're a fan of the familiar sweet tea found at regular McDonald's locations, you're going to hate this. In a menu filled with sickeningly sweet beverages, the self-proclaimed "sweet" tea seemed to lack sugar. Not only was the drink deceptively unsweet, but the tea itself was watery and felt weak. It tasted more like bottled versions of sweet tea you may find at a convenience store as opposed to authentic, Southern, homemade sweet tea.

Compared with CosMc's other zany and flavorful drinks, there's nothing really special about this sweet tea. I can't even say it had a refreshing factor to it. If you're looking for an incredibly lightly flavored sip, then this may be up your alley. Perhaps the batch of tea I had was weak or at the bottom of the barrel, but overall the sweet tea was surprisingly disappointing. If you're craving a sweet tea you're better off just going to McDonald's instead.

The Mocha Latte at CosMc's is painfully average. While it does have a subtle mocha flavor, it's not quite as rich as you'd want a mocha latte to be. This drink may have done better if sampled fresh and hot, but by the time I drank it, the texture was quite watery. The chocolate flavor was nice and not overpoweringly sweet but did not bring that comforting flavor you typically find in other versions of the drink.

Ultimately the ranking of the Mocha Latte came down to it being just below average on a menu filled with above-average drinks. It was not a memorable mocha, and the espresso flavor was a bit bitter as well. You can get a better mocha latte at other coffee shops. There was a thin layer of whipped cream that had melted into the drink by the time the photo was taken, but I did taste it before then. The whipped cream brought some much-needed sugar to the drink but ultimately didn't save it. 

CosMc's S'mores Cold Brew is fine, and that's the best word I'd use to describe it. It was pleasantly sweet but did not have much s'mores flavor. When I took a sip I was hoping for notes of chocolate and marshmallow, maybe even honey for the graham cracker flavoring. Instead, it just tasted like a cold brew with simple syrup. The cold brew has a nice flavor and the syrup did complement the drink well, but it was not as flavorful as I wanted.

The cold foam on top of this drink had melted into the beverage by the time the photos were taken, but I sampled it before then and was pleasantly surprised by how tasty it was. However, once that cold foam is gone, the drink is slightly lackluster, and there isn't quite enough cold foam to last you a significant amount of time. On top of the cold foam were toffee crunch sprinkles that gave it a little extra sweetness. The S'mores Cold Brew is made for cold brew lovers who want just a little extra sugar in their drink without it feeling overboard.

This was another drink I wanted to like more than I did. There was nothing all that bad about the Churro Frappe — it just lacked flavor and sweetness. It did have a very light cinnamon flavor, but it wasn't quite as sweet as its dessert inspiration. The cold brew frappe base is used in this blended beverage, and unfortunately, the bitterness from it slightly overpowers the other flavors. Don't order this expecting an abundantly sweet treat, but if you like your typical coffee frappes, you may end up enjoying this.

The whipped cream topping with a cinnamon dusting was delicious, and once stirred into the drink, it brought back some of the sweetness it was missing. This frappe was a bit watery in comparison to other frappes on the market, but it was still overall a pleasant drink. Just not one that truly stands out among the others.

This is another drink that falls in the funky category of flavors you may have never experienced before. The turmeric flavoring is earthy and a bit smokey. The blend of the spices and the espresso goes together surprisingly well — it almost tastes like a less sweet version of a pumpkin spice latte. There is a hot version of this drink that is admittedly slightly better. But the iced version still holds its own on the menu. While it's not that sweet, that works for this drink since the turmeric spice blend adds a ton of flavor to the mix.

Where this drink falls a bit short is that the turmeric flavor comes across quite differently cold than hot. But it's still overall pretty yummy, and the light yellow color is aesthetically pleasing. This drink feels tailored towards a crowd that is looking to explore other options outside of your typical chai tea latte, and this delicately spiced beverage is a great option for that.

The hot version of the Turmeric Spiced Latte is slightly superior to its iced counterpart. There's something about the hot version of the drink that brings out more of those spice notes and creates a comforting drink that warms you from the inside out. The hot Turmeric Spiced Latte also had some pleasant hints of citrus that were not detectable in the iced version.

The creamy blend of turmeric, espresso, and milk creates a savory drink perfect for the colder months. Another unique aspect is the dusting of black pepper sprinkles on top. The black pepper works to bring out more of the turmeric flavor and instantly gives you that tasty, spicy punch from the first sip. The black pepper sprinkles are not featured on the cold version of the drink, and I think they're what really elevates the hot version. If you love savory spice flavors, you should absolutely opt for the hot version of the Turmeric Spiced Latte.

This drink was light, refreshing, and had a charming cooling effect due to the mint flavor. Green tea and mint are just a naturally wonderful combination, and the addition of the tart and sweet blackberry flavor really helped to balance the drink. While this may not be the most intensely flavored drink on the menu, it still stands out as being better than average. The fresh flavors and delicate tasting notes made for a great iced tea.

However, the major flaw in this drink is the dried blueberry addition. These freeze-dried blueberries taste like stale, sour cardboard. Maybe you're not meant to actually eat these, but the flavor permeates the entire drink, and with every other sip you get a hint of these blueberry monstrosities. The freeze-dried blueberries also feel out of place considering there are no other blueberry notes in the beverage. If you order this tea, I'd recommend asking them to hold the blueberries.

This drink has the exact level of sourness any drink on the menu should have, and while sour flavor is not advertised in the name, it's one of the best elements about this slush. It's perfectly sweet and sour and unexpectedly thirst-quenchig. A lot of the drinks on CosMc's menu don't feel like beverages you could order every day because they're almost too flavorful, but the Pomegranate Hibiscus Slush is not one of them.

The floral flavor from the hibiscus really shines through in this drink and helps keep the flavoring feeling light. You could order this drink any time of day and enjoy it. It almost comes across tea-like in flavor, making for an interesting beverage. Out of all the slushes, this one was the best by far and definitely worth trying.

This drink transports you to a serene beachfront where you're relaxing in a lounge chair and enjoying the ocean breeze. It's seriously that refreshing and delicious. The drink is nice and tart in a similar way to a tangerine or green apple. There is some sweetness from the punch flavor, but it is very mild and mostly works to keep the tartness from becoming overwhelming. The freeze-dried strawberries are far better than the freeze-dried blueberries and give the beverage an almost freshly-blended strawberry flavor as they rehydrate.

A special component of this drink is the pre-workout shot. This is not very well advertised on the menu, so be cautious when ordering if you have sensitivities to caffeine. This drink doesn't seem like an ideal pre-gym beverage, as it's fairly sugary and wouldn't be that great before a major sweat session. But if you're just looking for a tasty caffeine boost, then this drink is for you.

This embodies exactly what CosMc's mission is: offering a nice afternoon pick-me-up drink. This was easily the most refreshing beverage we tried, and the CosMc lemonade is delicious. It genuinely tastes like a homemade lemonade and strikes the perfect balance of sour and sweet. The other flavor in this drink is yuzu, an Asian citrus fruit with a floral sweetness to it. Yuzu is not a super common ingredient in America, so this beverage is a great first introduction to it.

When I saw the sour in the name of this drink I was a little scared based on the other sour experiences so far. While there is some sourness to it, it's nowhere near as potent as the other drinks. This drink has an acceptable amount of sourness while still being delicious. I would absolutely order this drink every day and never grow tired of it. I predict that this will be the drink of the summer once it rolls out everywhere.
