Culver’s Drinks Menu 2026: Prices, Calories & Ingredients

The short version: fountain soda, fresh brewed iced tea, coffee, milk, apple juice, and bottled water. That’s the entire drinks menu: no lemonade, no espresso drinks, nothing exotic.
If you’re picturing something more elaborate, a milkshake, a root beer float, a Concrete Mixer   that’s a different menu entirely. Those live under Fresh Frozen Custard, not Drinks, because they’re built around Culver’s custard base rather than a fountain or a carton. It’s an easy mix-up, and honestly Culver’s own website doesn’t always make the line obvious either.

Here’s the full breakdown, size by size and item by item.

A pattern worth noticing: milk, juice, coffee, and water are all priced the same flat $2.49 regardless of what you order. Fountain drinks and iced tea are the only two items where size actually changes the price  and where sizing questions come up the most.

Culver’s fountain drinks are the classic choice when you want something cold and fizzy with your meal. Options can include popular soft Culver’s Drinks Menu such as Coke, Diet Coke, and Sprite, although the exact selection can vary by location.

A handful of items do most of the heavy lifting on the Culver’s Drinks Menu. Culver’s own Root Beer is one of the fountain favorites and tends to be the one regulars go out of their way to order, alongside the standard fountain lineup and Fresh Brewed Iced Tea. These drinks pair naturally with popular ButterBurgers, making them a common choice for a complete meal. Between those options, most orders are pretty straightforward familiar drinks and a ButterBurger that people keep coming back for.

Drink sizes can vary by restaurant and serving setup, so the ounces below should be treated as approximate rather than a guaranteed fill amount.

Signature Roast Coffee is the only hot drink on the Culver’s Drinks Menu, and it’s priced the same whether you go regular or decaf, with no upcharge either way which isn’t something every chain does.If you searched for “Culver’s frozen drinks” or “Culver’s summer drinks” expecting something on this list, that’s actually pointing you toward the Fresh Frozen Custard menu instead. That’s where you’ll find Concrete Mixers, shakes, malts, and coolers.

Culver’s rotates a few drink-adjacent items seasonally, like the Skittles POP’d Cooler on the Lemon Ice menu. These come and go by location and time of year, so availability isn’t guaranteed to be worth checking your local Culver’s before counting on a specific seasonal flavor being in stock.

Calories swing more than people assume once you factor in size.

Ordering is straightforward at the counter, the drive-thru, or through the Culver’s app if your location supports mobile ordering. Picking a drink usually happens as part of building a Value Basket, where a medium fountain drink or iced tea is the default including   upgrading to a large cost the size difference shown in the table above.

Customization is limited but not zero. You can typically choose sweetened or unsweetened iced tea depending on the location, ask for a mix of fountain flavors, or request light ice. Milk, juice, coffee, and water don’t really have customization options beyond regular or decaf on the coffee.

White milk, chocolate milk, and apple juice are the go-to picks for Kids’ Meals, with a small fountain drink or iced tea as another option on the Culver’s Drinks Menu. All are priced at $2.49 on their own, though most Kids’ Meals bundle a drink into the set price already.

Culver’s MyCulver’s rewards program is where birthday treats usually show up, and that’s more often tied to a free scoop of custard than a free drink specifically. If a drink-related birthday offer is running, it’ll typically appear inside the app rather than on the general menu, so it’s worth checking there directly rather than assuming it’s automatic.

At most locations, yes dine-in customers get free refills on fountain drinks and iced tea. That said, Culver’s restaurants are individually franchise-owned, so refill policy isn’t guaranteed to be identical everywhere. If you’re at a location for the first time, it’s worth a quick check with the counter before you assume.
Refills generally don’t extend to milk, apple juice, bottled water, or anything ordered off the custard menu.

It depends on what you’re ordering. Value Baskets almost always include a medium drink as part of the combo price   that’s the fountain drink or iced tea by default, with the option to size up. A la carte items, including most seafood dinners like the North Atlantic Cod Dinner, typically do not include a drink automatically; you’d add one separately.
If you’re ordering a Kids’ Meal, a drink is usually bundled in as part of the set price, often alongside a small side and a dessert.
