Based on McDonald’s UK press announcements and UK press coverage, October 2026. Prices are approximate and vary by restaurant. Availability and end dates can change — check the McDonald’s UK app for the latest.
Of the four items in the second wave of McDonald’s World Menu Heist, three are obvious headline-grabbers: the first-ever UK chicken wings, a double-patty Spanish burger, and a salted-caramel McFlurry. The fourth is quieter. Peach x Sprite Zero, “heisted” from Singapore, is a simple idea done well: Sprite Zero mixed with peach-flavoured syrup, served over ice.
It launched across the UK on Tuesday 20 October 2026, alongside the Chicken McWings, the McExtreme and the Twix White Salted Caramel McFlurry. There is just one catch: UK coverage cannot agree on the price. Here is everything confirmed, the disagreement explained honestly, and how long you have to try it.
What’s inside Peach x Sprite Zero?
The recipe is what the name promises, with nothing hidden:
- Sprite Zero — the familiar lemon-lime fizzy drink, sugar-free, as the base.
- Peach-flavoured syrup — stirred through to give the drink a sweet, summery peach flavour.
- Ice — served over ice, as a cold drink should be.
That is the whole drink: no cream, no foam, no extra garnish. It is the direct successor to the wave-1 drink, Guava x Sprite Zero from India, which left the menu on 20 October to make room for it — the same formula, with a softer, sweeter fruit flavour.
In Singapore, where the drink comes from, flavoured Sprite variations are an established part of the menu. In the UK, it is a lighter, colder and much cheaper flavoured cold drink than a milkshake or a McCafé iced drink.
Peach x Sprite Zero prices UK: £2.89 or £2.39?
This is where you need to read carefully, because two reputable sources give two different prices — and we are not going to pretend one of them is definitely right.
| Source | Price |
|---|---|
| The Sun / Scottish Sun | £2.89 |
| Verge Magazine (from McDonald’s UK’s launch materials) | £2.39 |
Prices are approximate and vary by restaurant.
The most likely explanation is the usual one: McDonald’s publishes “most common” prices, individual restaurants set their own, and different outlets report different figures from the launch materials. Verge’s price table lists £2.39, The Sun and Scottish Sun both report £2.89, and at least one reviewer who tried all four wave-2 items on launch day also lists £2.39.
Budget £2.89, and be pleasantly surprised if your restaurant charges £2.39. Either way, it is the cheapest of the four wave-2 headline items, and cheaper than most McCafé drinks. On delivery, expect more: delivery menus list it around £2.99–£3.19, the usual delivery markup.
One money-saving note: McDonald’s November app deals include buy-one-get-one-free on selected Peach x Sprite Zero drinks until Monday 16 November 2026, via pickup or McDelivery. See our November 2026 deals guide for the full list of current offers.
What does it taste like?
Think of it as Sprite Zero with the edges rounded off: the lemon-lime fizz is still there, but the peach syrup adds a soft, sweet, almost juice-like fruit flavour on top.
It is a refreshing drink rather than a rich one, and a natural partner for the rest of the wave-2 menu: after the mild Szechuan heat of the Chicken McWings or the bacon-loaded McExtreme, a cold, fruity fizz is a palate cleanser in a way a milkshake is not.
Delivery menus list the drink at just 6 kcal — treat that figure with caution until McDonald’s publishes it in its official UK nutrition calculator, and check the app’s nutrition panel if you are tracking intake closely.
When does Peach x Sprite Zero end?
McDonald’s has not officially confirmed an end date for Peach x Sprite Zero.
What we do know:
- It launched 20 October 2026 as part of World Menu Heist wave 2, alongside the McWings, McExtreme and Twix McFlurry.
- The September wave-1 Heist items still on the menu are scheduled to run until 16 November 2026.
- McDonald’s lists Peach x Sprite Zero as “Limited Time Only”, with no separate end date announced for it.
- The Sun’s wave-2 coverage noted the items are expected to stay until at least mid-to-late November, when the Christmas festive menu — launching 20 November 2026 — will likely replace them.
One extra hint, kept hedged: McDonald’s itself has said the Peach drink “might just stick around a little longer” than the other limited items. That is not a promise or a date — but it suggests the drink may outlast its wave-2 siblings by a little.
The honest read: do not assume it will still be there in December, and do not treat any date online as confirmed unless McDonald’s announces it. Try it before mid-November — and watch our Heist end-date guide for updates. The BOGOF offer ending 16 November is a useful deadline in its own right.
How to order it
- In restaurant: counter, self-service kiosk or drive-thru — ask for Peach x Sprite Zero.
- App: order ahead in the McDonald’s UK app, collect MyMcDonald’s Rewards points, and check for the BOGOF offer before you pay.
- Delivery: available on Uber Eats, Just Eat and Deliveroo where McDonald’s delivers — delivery prices are higher than in-store, as usual.
One practical tip: check the price on the kiosk or in the app before you order if you are budgeting tightly — at either £2.39 or £2.89 it is still a cheap addition to a meal.
Is it worth it?
Against the rest of the cold drinks menu, its case is simple: about the same as a standard medium soft drink, sugar-free at its base, and a flavour you cannot get any other month. If you already drink Sprite Zero, this is a flavour upgrade for roughly the same money — and with BOGOF until 16 November, it is currently the cheapest limited-time item on the menu to try twice.
Compared with its predecessor, Guava x Sprite Zero, the Peach version is the safer, sweeter pick: peach is a more familiar flavour than guava for most UK drinkers.

The bottom line
Peach x Sprite Zero is the quiet success of Heist wave 2: a simple, refreshing drink at the lowest price of any wave-2 headline item — whichever of the two reported prices your restaurant charges. The only real uncertainty is the end date, which McDonald’s has not confirmed. With BOGOF ending 16 November and the festive menu arriving 20 November, mid-November is the sensible deadline.
