KFC Drinks Menu Prices (2026)
The KFC drinks menu is short, cheap, and mostly priced at one flat starting point — which makes it easy to get wrong if you copy a single store. We checked two live DoorDash storefronts, Louisville KY and Dallas TX, on Oct 20, 2026. Prices are DoorDash delivery prices — in-store unverified, typically 10–30% less. Every drink below appeared at both stores unless we say otherwise.
KFC drinks prices
| Drink | Verified delivery price |
|---|---|
| Fountain Drinks | $3.65+ |
| Tea | $3.65+ |
| Colonel’s Lemonade | $3.65 |
| Sour Cherry Lemonade | $3.65 |
| Dirty Sodas | $4.01+ |
| Bottled Water | $2.43–$3.04 |
Last checked: Oct 20, 2026
Start with the pattern: four of the six lines start at exactly $3.65, and the two lemonades sit flat at $3.65 with no plus sign, meaning the two stores we checked agreed on them to the cent. Fountain drinks and tea carry the “+” because larger sizes step the price up. The only drink that breaks the pattern is the bottled water — $2.43 in Dallas and $3.04 in Louisville, a 61-cent gap on the simplest item on the menu. Franchise pricing really does reach everything.
The lemonades and Dirty Sodas are the interesting part
Plain soda is plain soda, but KFC’s drink list has two lines worth a sentence each. The Colonel’s Lemonade and the Sour Cherry Lemonade both sit at $3.65 flat — the same entry point as a basic fountain drink, which makes them the best-tasting dollar-for-dollar pick on the drinks menu. The Dirty Sodas cost a little more at $4.01+, the premium line on this short list: soda dressed up with cream and flavoring, priced about 36 cents above the standard drinks at both stores. If you are building a full meal, drink prices also show up inside the combos on our KFC Big Box meals page, and the full food list is on the KFC menu prices hub.
What a drink does to your order total
On delivery, a $3.65 drink added to a Famous Bowl at $6.33–$7.55 lands you between roughly $10 and $11.20 before fees and tip. The combo versions of most items fold the drink in for less than buying it separately — the Famous Bowl Combo at $8.41–$9.26 is the clearest example — so check the combo line before adding a standalone drink. Chasing the lowest total across chains? Our value menus roundup tracks the cheap end of every menu we cover. One honest gap: drink sizes and per-size steps beyond the starting prices were not fully listed on the delivery menus we checked, so size-by-size pricing is a check-at-your-location item.
