The table below shows the calories in every cup size. Dasani comes in a 20 oz bottle, floats come in one 16 oz size, and every milkshake comes in one size of about 31 to 35 oz.

Calories are from Cook Out’s official nutrition guide. Large and Huge Sweet Tea use Cook Out’s in-store menu board (290 and 390 Cal), because the guide’s numbers for those two sizes do not scale with the cup size.
Lowest and Highest Calorie Cookout Drinks
Sugar-free drinks have 0 calories in any size. Among the sweet drinks, a Huge Sweet Tea has the most, and the two floats come close to it in a much smaller cup. Here is how the biggest size of each drink compares.

Cookout’s Favorite Drinks
Find out Cookout’s all-time favorite drinks that are refreshing, flavorful, and the best accompaniment to any meal.
Cheerwine Float
This one has a cult following for a reason. The Cheerwine Float takes that signature cherry soda from North Carolina and pours it over vanilla soft serve; the result is part drink, part dessert. It has 401 calories.
Coke Float
A Cookout classic. Crisp Coca-Cola poured over smooth soft serve. It’s simple, satisfying, and great with a burger or on its own. It has 399 calories.
Fresh Brewed Sweet Tea
The go-to at Cookout, especially in the South. It’s brewed fresh and comes in all four sizes. If you’re getting a BBQ tray, a Huge Sweet Tea (32 oz) is the drink that belongs next to it.
Hi-C Poppin’ Pink Lemonade
Cold, tart, and refreshing, the pink lemonade from the fountain is exactly what you want on a hot day. It cuts through the richness of fried food and pairs well with pretty much everything on the menu.
Milkshakes
With over 40 flavors to choose from, Cookout milkshakes are in a category of their own. Popular options include Oreo, Banana Pudding, Reese’s Cup and Cherry Cheesecake. A lot of regulars order one as dessert.
Hi-C Fruit Punch
A simple, sweet option if you want to skip soda. Bright and fruity, it’s a solid pick, especially for the kids.
Soft Drinks
Classic Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Sprite, Dr Pepper, Pibb Xtra, Mellow Yellow and Fanta Orange are all on the fountain. If you just want something cold and fizzy, these do the job every time.
Powerade Mountain Blast
The lightest flavored drink on the fountain, with 149 calories in a Huge cup. A good pick if you want flavor with fewer calories than soda.

How to Customize Your Cookout Drink
You can change a few things about your drink when you order. These are the easy ones to ask for:

- A float or a milkshake in place of the drink in a Cookout Tray.
- Diet Coke, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, unsweet tea or Dasani for a drink with 0 calories.

Ways to Save on Cookout Drinks
Pick tea over soda
At some stores tea costs less than soda. The Orangeburg, SC store’s online order page lists tea at $1.99 and fountain drinks at $3.39.
Go Huge when sizes cost the same
On the Raleigh, NC menu board every soft drink and tea size costs $2.49, so the 32 oz Huge is the best deal there.
Get a float for less than a soda
A Coke or Cheerwine Float is $1.79 in Orangeburg, SC, less than a fountain drink at the same store.
Let the tray do the work
A Cookout Tray includes the drink, and you can pick a Huge Tea or a float as part of the deal.
Cook Out does not have its own app, so there are no app-only drink deals. Delivery apps charge more than the store, so ordering in person is the cheapest way to get your drinks. See our Cookout delivery guide for details.
Cookout’s Offerings Beyond Drinks
Cookout is here to offer you the best drinks, but its food menu makes it even more attractive. The menu includes traditional American foods like char-grilled burgers and hot dogs, chicken strips, BBQ trays and chili cheese fries. It has something everybody would love to get.
There are tray deals where you get a main, two sides and a drink. There are over 40 milkshakes to choose from, and fans have plenty of off-menu orders on the Secret Menu. Finish your meal with a float or a slice of cheesecake from the Desserts Menu.
