Soft drinks
Most Wendy's pour soft drinks from a Coca-Cola Freestyle machine, so the drink price depends only on cup size, not flavor: $2.59 small, $3.19 medium, $3.49 large. The few restaurants without Freestyle list Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Sprite, Dr Pepper and others separately at similar prices. A small soft drink is included in every combo and Biggie Bag.
Soft drinks (Coca-Cola Freestyle)
| Menu item | In restaurant | Restaurant range |
|---|---|---|
| Small soft drink (Coca-Cola Freestyle) | $2.59 | $2.29 – $3.89 |
| Medium soft drink (Coca-Cola Freestyle) | $3.19 | $2.79 – $4.39 |
| Large soft drink (Coca-Cola Freestyle) | $3.49 | $3.09 – $4.79 |
Lemonades and Sparkling Energy drinks
Wendy's lemonade drinks cost about $2.99 small. The All-Natural Lemonade is the base; Strawberry, Watermelon and Pineapple Mango add fruit flavor at the same small price. The two Sparkling Energy drinks ($3.29 small) are caffeinated and come only in small and medium. Iced tea was on just 4 of the 25 menus.

Drink calories
The flavored drinks carry real calories: a small Strawberry Lemonade has 230, a large Watermelon Lemonade more than twice that. Zero-calorie options are plain coffee, unsweetened tea, water and diet sodas. A Frosty is not on the drink menu but is often ordered as one — see Frosty flavors.
