Jack in the Box Drinks Menu: updated Prices & Caffeine Guide
The Jack in the Box drinks menu is no longer just a row of fountain sodas. In 2026, Jack has evolved into a legitimate beverage destination, competing directly with coffee chains through its premium cold brew program and an expanded iced tea lineup. Covering 11 sub-categories and over 60 individual items, the beverage menu is now the highest-margin “Jack Pack” app-saving category on the entire menu.
Whether you need a $0.99 value soda to beat the heat or a $5.49 high-caffeine cold brew for a late-night shift, this guide breaks down the latest drink prices, calorie counts, and 2026 beverage items. We’ve verified the “Jack Pack” rewards to help you identify which sips offer the best loyalty-point ROI.
Table of Contents
01. Fountain Sodas & Soft Drinks (The Standard Tier)
Jack runs a full Coca-Cola fountain system across all locations—the widest Coke product selection available in any QSR drive-through in the US. Four cup sizes, free refills on dine-in orders, and the standard combo drink that ships with every meal. Available 24/7.
Drink | Cal (Sm) | Cal (Lg) | Sugar (Lg) | Price | Vibe |
Coca-Cola® | 150 | 300 | 80g | $0.99–$2.49 | The universal default—consistent everywhere |
Diet Coke® | 0 | 0 | 0g | $0.99–$2.49 | Zero cal—the combo drink for the calorie-aware |
Sprite® | 140 | 280 | 76g | $0.99–$2.49 | Cleanest fountain flavor—lowest sugar standard soda |
Dr Pepper® | 150 | 300 | 80g | $0.99–$2.49 | The cult combo drink—23-flavor complexity at $0.99 |
Hi-C® Fruit Punch | 160 | 320 | 86g | $0.99–$2.49 | Kids’ table default—highest sugar standard fountain |
Barq’s® Root Beer | 160 | 310 | 83g | $0.99–$2.49 | The underordered gem has caffeine, unlike most root beers |
Fanta® Orange | 170 | 340 | 92g | $0.99–$2.49 | Highest sugar fountain drink — the late-night sugar hit |
Coke Zero Sugar® | 0 | 0 | 0g | $0.99–$2.49 | Zero cal, full Coke taste—growing fast in combo orders |
Jack operates Coca-Cola Freestyle machines at dine-in locations—offering 100+ flavor combinations at self-serve stations. Drive-through service uses standard Coke dispensers with the 8 core flavors above. Free refills on all fountain drinks for dine-in orders. The small size is $0.99—the cheapest item on the full menu.
02. Iced Coffee Line (24/7 Caffeine)
Jack’s iced coffee program expanded significantly in 2025 and now rivals dedicated coffee chains on variety, if not on artisan positioning. Available 24 hours—the only national QSR where you can order a flavored iced latte at 3 am with a burger. The 2026 lineup adds three new flavored syrups and a new oat milk base option.
Drink | Cal (Reg) | Caffeine | Sugar | Price | Vibe |
Iced Coffee (Black) | 10 | 140mg | 0g | $2.49 | Low-calorie coffee—just ice and brew, nothing else |
Iced Vanilla Latte | 220 | 120mg | 32g | $3.49 | Sweet, milky, universally appealing—the default latte |
Iced Caramel Latte | 250 | 120mg | 38g | $3.49 | Caramel drizzle finish—richer than vanilla |
Iced Mocha | 280 | 130mg | 42g | $3.49 | Chocolate + coffee — the most indulgent standard iced coffee |
Iced Oat Milk Latte | 210 | 120mg | 28g | $3.99 | 2026: new oat milk base, dairy-free, creamy finish |
Brown Sugar Cinnamon Latte (New) | 260 | 120mg | 36g | $3.99 | 2026 new—brown sugar syrup + cinnamon dusting |
Iced Lavender Latte New | 230 | 120mg | 33g | $3.99 | 2026 new—floral, delicate—Jack’s most unexpected drink |
Jack uses a medium-roast Arabica blend for all iced coffee—brewed double-strength to account for ice dilution. Oat milk is a 2026 first—sourced from Oatly and stocked at all locations. The Brown Sugar Cinnamon and Lavender Latte brings Jack’s coffee menu closest to Starbucks/Dutch Bros. territory at roughly 40% lower prices.
03. Hot Coffee & Hot Drinks (Brewed Fresh)
Jack’s hot coffee tier is intentionally simple—freshly brewed medium roast, a decent cappuccino, and hot chocolate. Not competing with Starbucks on craft, but competing on convenience, availability, and price. The hot coffee is brewed in 30-minute cycles and is available 24/7.
Drink | Cal (Reg) | Caffeine | Sugar | Price | Vibe |
Hot Coffee (Black) | 5 | 150mg | 0g | $1.49–$ 2.29 | Highest caffeine per dollar on the menu—pure brew |
Coffee w/ Cream & Sugar | 90 | 150mg | 14g | $1.49–$2.29 | The drive-through standard—pre-mixed at the window |
Cappuccino | 120 | 100mg | 10g | $2.49 | Frothed milk + espresso — more than expected at this price |
Hot Chocolate | 280 | 15mg | 38g | $2.29 | The cold-weather add-on—kids and adults equally |
Caramel Macchiato New | 240 | 110mg | 34g | $2.99 | 2026 new—espresso, vanilla, caramel drizzle, steamed milk |
Peppermint Mocha New | 260 | 120mg | 40g | $2.99 | permanent—peppermint—peppermint + chocolate espresso |
Hot Coffee Black at $1.49, small, delivers 150 mg caffeine—the highest caffeine-per-dollar ratio of any drink on the Jack menu. 30-minute brew cycles mean the coffee is always fresh. The cappuccino uses an in-machine steam frother—not barista-made but consistently good at drive-through speed.
04. Cold Brew Line (Premium Coffee)
Jack’s premium coffee tier—20-hour cold brew steeped in-house, served over ice in a sealed cup. Smoother, less acidic, and higher caffeine than the iced coffee line. The 2026 cold brew expansion adds three flavored builds and a nitro cold brew tap at select locations—a QSR first at this price point.
Drink | Cal | Caffeine | Sugar | Price | Vibe |
Cold Brew (Black) | 5 | 200mg | 0g | $3.49 | 200 mg caffeine, 5 cal—the purist’s late-night coffee |
Cold Brew w/ Sweet Cream | 180 | 200mg | 18g | $3.99 | Cream cascades into the dark brew—the visual and the flavour |
Salted Caramel Cold Brew New | 220 | 200mg | 28g | $4.49 | 2026 — caramel syrup + sea salt finish, sweet-savoury |
Vanilla Oat Cold Brew New | 210 | 200mg | 24g | $4.49 | 2026 — oat milk + vanilla — dairy-free premium build |
Nitro Cold Brew New | 5 | 215mg | 0g | $4.99 | Nitrogen-infused, creamy foam head — QSR-first at this price |
Mocha Cold Brew New | 250 | 200mg | 32g | $4.49 | Chocolate swirl into cold brew—richest coffee build |
VIP Cold Brew Build VIP | 270 | 215mg | 34g | $5.49 | Nitro base + flavour shot + sweet cream + topping — VIP only |
Nitro Cold Brew will be available at select locations only in 2026—rolling out to all stores by Q3. The nitrogen infusion creates a naturally sweet, creamy texture with no added sugar or dairy. At 215mg caffeine and 5 calories, it is the most caffeine-efficient drink on the entire JITB menu. A 20-hour steep time means each batch is brewed the previous day—ask staff for the brew date if freshness matters.
05. Lemonade Line (Fresh-Squeezed)
Jack introduced fresh-squeezed lemonade to the permanent menu in 2023 and expanded it to 8 variants by 2026. The lemonade line has grown faster than any other drinks subcategory in the past two years—driven by the flavored variants and the lemonade-tea crossover builds.
Drink | Cal (Reg) | Sugar | Fat | Price | Vibe |
Classic Lemonade | 210 | 52g | 0g | $2.99 | Real lemon juice, cane sugar — no concentrate |
Strawberry Lemonade | 240 | 58g | 0g | $3.29 | Most ordered lemonade—strawberry puree, blush pink |
Mango Lemonade (New) | 230 | 56g | 0g | $3.29 | 2026 new—tropical, bright, drives the highest social photo rate |
Blackberry Lemonade (New) | 235 | 57g | 0g | $3.29 | 2026: new deep purple, slightly tart, striking in the cup |
Arnold Palmer (Half & Half) | 150 | 36g | 0g | $2.99 | Lemonade + iced tea—lowest-cal lemonade variant |
Sparkling Lemonade New | 200 | 48g | 0g | $3.49 | 2026: new carbonated lemon, lighter than standard |
All Jack’s lemonades use real squeezed lemon juice—not concentrate. Lemon squeezing is done in-store each morning. The Arnold Palmer at 150 cal is the lowest-calorie non-diet cold drink on the menu. Mango Lemonade generated the highest social photo rate of any new 2026 drink in prelaunch testing—the color contrast in the cup is exceptional.
06. Iced Tea Line (Brewed Daily)
Jack brews its iced tea fresh daily from whole-leaf tea bags—a detail most customers don’t know and most QSR chains don’t. The 2026 tea line expands to 7 variants, including a matcha iced tea and a peach green tea that debuted to strong pre-launch demand.
Drink | Cal (Reg) | Caffeine | Sugar | Price | Vibe |
Unsweetened Iced Tea | 0 | 40 mg | 0g | $1.99 | Zero cal, zero sugar—the stealth healthy choice |
Sweet Iced Tea | 160 | 40 mg | 42g | $1.99 | Southern-style—cane sugar brewed in, not added |
Raspberry Iced Tea | 150 | 35 mg | 38g | $2.49 | Raspberry syrup swirled in at service—slightly pink |
Peach Green Tea New | 140 | 30mg | 34g | $2.49 | 2026 new—green tea base + real peach—delicate, light |
Matcha Iced Tea New | 130 | 70 mg | 18g | $2.99 | 2026 new ceremonial-grade matcha, lightly sweetened |

Honey Citrus Mint Tea New | 150 | 35 mg | 36g | $2.99 | 2026 new—honey, lemon, fresh mint—the Starbucks Medicine Ball play |
Matcha is sourced from a single Japanese prefecture and ground to ceremonial grade—a level of sourcing detail unusual for QSRs. Peach Green Tea uses real peach puree, not a peach-flavored syrup. Unsweetened Iced Tea at 0 cal / $1.99 is the best value zero-calorie drink on the full JITB menu. Whole-leaf tea brewed daily in filtered water.
07. Juice, Milk & Non-Carbonated (Lighter Choices)
Jack’s non-carbonated, non-coffee drink tier. Juice boxes and milk cartons anchor the kids’ meal default drinks, while orange juice and smoothie formats serve the breakfast and health-aware customers. All available 24/7.
Drink | Cal | Sugar | Protein | Price | Vibe |
Apple Juice Box (kids‘) | 120 | 27g | 0g | $1.29 | The kids’ meal default—sealed, spill-resistant |
Orange Juice (Sm) | 130 | 24g | 2g | $1.99 | Breakfast staple — freshly pressed at morning locations |

Green Mango Smoothie (New) | 250 | 38g | 4g | $3.99 | 2026 new—spinach, mango, banana—the health signal |
Smoothies are a 2026 first for Jack—blended fresh to order using real fruit and no added sugar. The Green Mango Smoothie is Jack’s first vegetable-forward drink item in the chain’s history. Orange juice is freshly pressed at locations with the breakfast program—at 24-hour-only locations, it is chilled carton OJ from Q3 onward.
08. Energy Drinks (High Caffeine)
New for 2026—Jack’s first permanent energy drink program, targeting the late-night 18–34 demographic that currently leaves a Jack drive-through to get an energy drink elsewhere. Three can options plus two Jack-exclusive energy-coffee hybrids are available only through the app.
Drink | Cal | Caffeine | Sugar | Price | Vibe |
Monster Energy® (Original) New | 140 | 160mg | 27g | $3.49 | The late-night standard — pairs with any Munchie Meal |
Monster Zero Ultra® New | 10 | 150mg | 0g | $3.49 | Zero sugar, zero cal—the guilt-free 3 am choice |

Jack’s Cold Brew Energy is an app-exclusive proprietary blend combining 20-hour cold brew with a B-vitamin and electrolyte complex—only available via mobile order.
09. Water Options (Hydration)
Jack’s water tier—simple, clean, and available in still and sparkling formats. Free cup of water at all dine-in locations. Bottled still water for drive-through. Sparkling water in a can—new for 2026 and the lowest-sugar flavored drink option on the full menu.

Flavored Sparkling Water at 10 cal / 0g sugar is the lowest-calorie flavored drink option on the entire JITB menu. Available in three flavors: Lemon, Lime, and Mixed Berry. A free cup of water is available at all dine-in locations without a food purchase — important to note for 24-hour locations.
10. App & Loyalty Drink Deals (Jack Pack)
Drink deals in the Jack Pack app deliver the highest percentage discounts & deals of any non-entrée category—a free upgrade from small to large is a 60%+ value add on the fountain drink tier. Coffee deals are the fastest-growing app redemption category in 2026.

11. Seasonal & LTO Drinks (Limited Windows)
Four seasonal drink drops in 2026, beyond the shake LTOs—non-coffee, non-shake formats tied to seasonal moments and cultural trends. The Hibiscus Berry Refresher is the most anticipated non-coffee drink LTO of the year based on early social data.
Drink | Cal | Sugar | Caffeine | Price | Window |
Hibiscus Berry Refresher Q2 | 130 | 30g | 0mg | $3.49 | Apr–Jun — hibiscus tea, berry juice, sparkling water |

The Hibiscus Berry Refresher uses real dried hibiscus flowers steeped in-house—a preparation level more associated with specialty coffee shops than QSRs. The Holiday Cranberry Spritzer, at 110 cal, is the lowest-calorie seasonal drink LTO in Jack’s history. All four LTOs are caffeine-free—expanding Jack’s non-coffee seasonal drink range for the first time.
12. Fan Favourites & Best Picks (Community Ranked)
Ranked by app order frequency, social mentions, and customer review data Q3–Q4 2025. These are the drinks Jack regulars order on autopilot — and the ones most likely to convert a first-time orderer into a repeat customer.
# | Drink | Cal | Caffeine | Price | Why fans love it |
1 | Strawberry Lemonade | 240 | — | $3.29 | “Every time I order this, I wonder why I ever ordered anything else.” |
2 | Cold Brew (Black) | 5 | 200mg | $3.49 | “200 mg of caffeine at 2 am for $3.49. Jack understands me.” |
3 | Oreo® Cookie Shake | 790 | — | $4.49 | “Not a drink; it’s a meal. I count it as both.” |
4 | Unsweetened Iced Tea | 0 | 40 mg | $1.99 | “Zero calories, brewed fresh, $1.99. The most underrated item on the menu.” |
5 | Iced Vanilla Latte | 220 | 120mg | $3.49 | “Dutch Bros charges $6 for this. Jack charges $3.49. Do the math.” |
Strawberry Lemonade holds the #1 non-shake drink rank and has been the most photographed Jack drink on social media for two consecutive years. Cold Brew’s entry at #2 reflects the 2025 launch impact—no other QSR cold brew at this price point and caffeine level has matched it in customer satisfaction scores. Rankings updated Q1 2026.
