Culver’s Drinks Menu With Prices (2026)
Culver’s keeps the drinks menu straightforward: fountain sodas, fresh-brewed iced tea, signature roast coffee, milk, juice, and water — plus the floats and frozen lemon drinks that live on the dessert side of the line. Fountain drinks and iced tea come with free refills when you dine in, which is worth knowing before you size up.

What to Drink With What
The signature move is Culver’s own root beer — it’s made for the brand, and the float version with vanilla custard is one of the best things on the menu, full stop. Fresh-brewed iced tea (sweet or unsweet) is the standard pairing for baskets; it’s brewed in-house and tastes like it. The signature roast coffee is genuinely decent — better than gas-station coffee by a mile — and the lemon ice coolers are the play on hot days when custard feels too heavy.
Floats, Explained
A float is vanilla frozen custard dropped into soda — the root beer float is the classic, and at $2.29 for a small it’s one of the cheapest desserts on the menu. The Fanta orange and Coca-Cola versions run a couple dollars more but scratch a very specific nostalgic itch. Order it with the custard extra-thick if you want it to eat more like a dessert than a drink.
Ordering Tips
Dining in? Get the small and use the free refills — there’s no reason to pay for a large soda you’ll refill anyway. The Value Basket includes a regular drink, so don’t order a separate beverage with a basket unless you want something specific. Unsweet iced tea is the lowest-calorie flavorful option at 130 calories for a small, and water is free with any meal if you ask.
