I tried a new drink from Mega Coffee, ‘Solo Drop UP! Silver Wolf Cube Lemonade’! It launched alongside the Blade Choco Cream Coffee I reviewed earlier as part of a ‘Honkai: Star Rail’ collaboration.
At first glance, it gave me a bit of a grape lemonade impression. After taking a sip, I still thought it tasted like sparkling lemonade with a grape-like aroma. But when I checked the official menu description, it turned out to be blueberry lemonade with nata de coco cubes (jelly cubes).
How Mega Coffee Silver Wolf Cube Lemonade Tastes
To describe the flavor first, it is a blend of fizz + grape-scented (blueberry-scented) lemonade + jelly cubes.
The sweetness was about what I would expect from a typical lemonade. There is also a slice of lemon in the cup!
Small jelly-like cubes are mixed in, and according to the official description, they are called nata de coco. I wondered whether the name might have something to do with the collaboration... Biting into a cube here and there made the texture fun.
Besides the cubes, little bits that felt somewhat like grape skins lingered in my mouth. The official description mentions blueberries, so perhaps they were pieces of blueberry.
I liked eating the cubes, but the skin-like texture bothered me a little.
I Recommend a Wide Straw
A wider straw should make it easier to drink, I think. The cubes did fit through a standard straw, but they occasionally got stuck, so sometimes I had to suck quite hard.
If the drink starts tasting weak or, conversely, too sweet, I suggest giving it a stir all the way to the bottom. It was fine when I first got it, but after a while, something syrupy seemed to collect at the base, so mixing the top and bottom together would probably help.

Overall Verdict | 4.1 out of 5
My rating is 4.1 out of 5. The grape-like fruity aroma, tangy lemonade and bubbles made it a cooling treat. The nata de coco cubes were enjoyable to munch on, too, and the overall offering felt decent for KRW 3,900!
Personally, I found Blade Choco Cream Coffee slightly tastier. Still, I thought Silver Wolf Cube Lemonade had the kind of approachable flavor that a wider range of people might enjoy. It has that familiar lemonade character, so if you usually like this sort of drink, it should be an easy choice.
Of course, the skin-like bits were not quite to my taste, and I do wish it had been a zero-calorie option. Even so, considering the flavor, price and added jelly cubes, I was happy with it overall!
If you are craving a chilled, tangy fizzy drink or fancy a fruity ade instead of coffee, I would recommend giving it a try!
