Cookout Drinks
A fan’s tour of the Cook Out drink board — from sweet tea and Cheerwine to lemonade and bottled water — plus size notes, price pointers, and answers to the questions fans ask most. Some locations also serve a Cheerwine float — Cheerwine poured over soft serve — though availability varies by location. See our desserts guide for more on floats and shakes.

Why Cheerwine Matters
That said, “commonly reported” isn’t “guaranteed.” Fountain lineups change, so if Cheerwine is the whole reason for your trip, a quick call ahead can save you a drive.
Sizes & Refills
Cup sizes vary by location — Cook Out doesn’t publish a single official size chart, and restaurants differ. Refill policies vary too: some locations are generous, some aren’t. When in doubt, ask at the counter before you order the biggest cup on the board.

Nutrition Snapshot
Drinks are the quiet calorie source in any tray meal — sweet tea, soda, and shakes add up fast. Cook Out doesn’t publish centralized nutrition data, so our nutrition guide covers how to think about drink choices instead of listing numbers we can’t verify.
