Drinks may seem like an afterthought for many, but it's actually very important to choose the best beverage to go with your food order. That is why Wendy's expansive menu also offers an expansive beverage menu that ranges from juices to lemonades, sodas, coffee, beverage desserts, and even milk.
Wendy's Combos and meal menus include drinks, but if you prefer to choose your entrée, side, and drink separately, then you need to know a few pieces of information to be able to make the best choice.
My favorite beverage is the Chocolate Frosty-ccino, which is an amazing blend of Wendy's smooth and thick drink/dessert, with the perfect Arabica coffee served ice-cold. It offers a smooth, thick, and creamy sensation while having a subtle bitterness finished off with the rich aroma of coffee. My love for milkshakes, coffee, and everything creamy is completely satisfied with this drink, and each time I finish a cup, it leaves me yearning for more. Honesty, the Chocolate Frosty-ccino is one of the reasons why I keep coming back to Wendy's.
But before I find myself talking too much about this delicious drink/dessert, I need to present to you the large Wendy's drinks menu. My hope is you get to look forward to what they have to offer and get your senses excited about what to order the next time you visit.
Wendy's Beverage Menu
There is a total of 25 items on the Wendy's drinks menu, so I decided to make 6 different categories to group the beverages together. Here are the different beverage options:
1. Lemonade
There are 4 lemonade flavors, which are:
- Blueberry Pomegranate
- Pineapple Mango
- All-Natural
- Strawberry
My favorite lemonade from Wendy's is the all-natural flavor. It's a classic lemonade that's sweet and refreshing without any bells and whistles, and just the way I like it. However, if you want to have other flavors in your drink, the Blueberry Pomegranate offers a tart flavor while the Pineapple Mango delivers tropical goodness. For strawberry lovers, the Strawberry lemonade is perfect for you since it's made with real strawberries and not just flavoring. Lemonade drinks are 260 calories.
2. Softdrinks
Choose from 6 different sodas:
- Coca-Cola Regular
- Coca-Cola Zero Sugar
- Diet Coke
- Sprite
- Dr. Pepper
- Barq's Root Beer
These are your regular soft drinks found in most fast-food restaurants. They're the perfect pairing for Wendy's rich and delicious burgers. Wendy's partners with Coca-Cola so you can expect to have these options on their menu.
3. Branded Drinks
Wendy's offers 6 branded drinks, from juices to lemonade, water, and soda, and these are:
- Fanta Orange
- Minute Maid Light Lemonade
- Hi-C Flashin' Fruit Punch
- Pure Life Bottled Water
- Honest Kids Fruit Punch
- Simply Orange Juice
These branded drinks offer other delicious beverage options for customers. For kids especially, the Hi-C Flashin' Fruit Punch and the Honest Kids Fruit Punch offer tasty and flavor-rich beverages they will enjoy. The Simply Orange Juice is also great for kids, as well as anyone who loves having orange juice with their food.
4. Coffee
Wendy's coffee comes from sustainably sourced suppliers, which adhere to the standards set by the Rainforest Alliance Certified Farms. They use 100% Arabica coffee beans from South America to stay true to their commitment to working to provide responsibly-sourced refreshments.
Here are the coffee options at Wendy's:
Wendy's Cold Brew Iced Coffee is an extra-rich and super-smooth drink with a natural sweetness and caramel-like flavor. It's cold and creamy, which is perfect for anyone who loves iced coffee.
This is the perfect drink to go with Wendy's breakfast menu, as well as with the Bakery menu options.
- Fresh Brewed Decaffeinated Coffee
For anyone who loves the taste of coffee without caffeine, this is for you.
5. Frosty

Frosty is Wendy's signature drink/dessert since 1969. It is a smooth, thick, milky, and creamy dessert that's light enough to drink but also thick enough to eat as a dessert. It's like a thick milkshake but also a light ice cream if that makes sense.
They offer the Frosty in chocolate and vanilla but they've created the Frosty-ccino where they added coffee to make it their very own version of the frappuccino.
The result is sweet, smooth, and creamy, with the soothing taste and aroma of coffee. You can order them in small, medium, and large. Calories range between 210 and 310.
- Chocolate Frosty-ccino
- Vanilla Frosty-ccino
6. Other Options
You can also order regular iced tea, or sweetened iced tea, which is made from brewed black tea and not powdered tea. For the milk options, they're made of low-fat cow's milk and are paired with the kid's meals, or for anyone who wants it as a beverage. It comes in regular and chocolate flavors.
- Iced Tea
- Sweet Iced Tea
- Milk
- Chocolate Milk
There you have it, 25 options for drinks at Wendy's that are perfect for their vast menu. Some of these drinks are made in-house while others are partner brands such as Coca-Cola, Fanta, Minute Maid, and others.
The beverage menu may be different in other locations, especially if it's outside the US and Canada. Some drinks may not be available in other locations, or they may have drinks unique to their specific branch.
There are plenty of options for drinks at Wendy's, so you'll always have something different to try each time you visit. However, when it comes to the best pairings, I suggest having the drinks in the combo meals since they are designed to complement entrées. But it's always a great idea to experiment and try different flavors and pairings when it comes to food.
Take your pick from this vast drinks menu and enjoy a refreshing drink at Wendy's.
