Burger King is expanding its beverage menu in the U.S. with the launch of four Iced Coffee with Cold Foam options and two Real Juice Lemonades, available now at participating locations nationwide.
The new drinks, confirmed by the fast-food giant on Friday, July 25, aim to boost sales during off-peak hours and appeal to a growing market of customers looking for refreshing, café-style beverages outside traditional meal times.
New Iced Coffee Flavors with Cold Foam
Burger King’s iced coffee lineup now includes:
- Vanilla Cold Foam – brewed iced coffee with cream and vanilla syrup
- Mocha Cold Foam – iced coffee with mocha syrup and cream
- Plain Cold Foam – iced coffee with cream (select locations only)
- Black Cold Foam – bold black iced coffee topped with cold foam
These options range from rich and creamy to simple and robust, targeting both sweet drink lovers and those who prefer a cleaner coffee taste.
New Real Juice Lemonades
Also hitting menus are two lemonade-based fruit refreshers:
- Strawberry Lemonade – lemonade infused with strawberry purée
- Mango Peach Lemonade – lemonade mixed with mango and peach purée
Both are made with real fruit juice and are designed to provide a natural, vibrant flavor experience.

The drinks vary significantly in nutritional content. For instance:
- Vanilla Cold Foam Coffee: 270 calories
- Strawberry Lemonade: 300 calories and 73 grams of sugar
- Mango Peach Lemonade: similar calorie and sugar levels
Prices begin at $2.99, with slight variations depending on location. In some areas, prices may go up to $3.39, according to Fast Food Post.
A Profitable Play in Beverages
Though higher in calories, the drinks offer strong profit margins. According to restaurant tech provider Toast, while typical restaurant margins sit at 3–5%, beverages like these can yield margins up to 90%, making them a key part of Burger King’s revenue strategy.
Part of a Larger Brand Strategy
This beverage rollout is part of Burger King’s “Reclaim the Flame” campaign—a multi-year effort to revitalize the brand through menu innovation and customer engagement.
Earlier this year, the fast-food chain also introduced the BBQ Brisket Whopper, created through its “Whopper by You” campaign, which allows customers to submit sandwich ideas. The burger includes slow-cooked brisket, crispy onions, BBQ sauce, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and a flame-grilled beef patty, and is also available in a junior size for a limited time.
With this menu revamp, Burger King appears committed to challenging competitors like McDonald’s and Starbucks in the quick-service beverage space.
