Chick-fil-A lemonade is made from three things: real lemon juice, cane sugar and water. A diet version swaps the sugar for Splenda, and Sunjoy blends the lemonade with iced tea. Frosted versions blend Icedream dessert into the same base.

This page covers every version you can order, from the regular cup to the frosted one, with calories, sizes and gallon options. You can also see every drink on the menu if you want to compare it with tea and coffee.

The two classics are the regular and diet cups at the end of that row. Both are described as lemonade built from three ingredients, and both come in small, medium and large.

The three Pineapple Dragonfruit drinks are the tropical spin-offs. One is a lemonade, one is a Sunjoy and one is mixed with Sprite. The menu says the lemonade is available for a limited time at participating locations, so treat the whole trio as seasonal and check your app before you plan around it.

Here is how the seasonal trio and its tea sibling compare on the menu page.

Lemonade at Chick Fil A: Classic, Diet and Pineapple Dragonfruit Versions

Pineapple Dragonfruit drink	Base	Calories per container
Pineapple Dragonfruit Lemonade	Classic lemonade	290
Pineapple Dragonfruit Sunjoy	Lemonade and sweet tea	240
Pineapple Dragonfruit & Sprite	Sprite	190
Pineapple Dragonfruit Tea (sweetened)	Iced tea	150

The lemonade version sits 30 calories above the plain cup because of the added flavor. The flavored Sunjoy matches the 240 calories of the plain sweet tea and lemonade Sunjoy, so the tropical flavor adds nothing there.

On the delivery app, the classic cups start around $4.09 and the Pineapple Dragonfruit Lemonade and Sunjoy start around $4.99. Price varies by size and store.

What Goes Into the Classic Cup

The recipe is water, lemon juice and sugar. The menu says the lemon juice is real and not from concentrate, and the sweetener is cane sugar.

That short list explains the taste. It is tart first and sweet second, with no tea, no fizz and no flavoring added. That is what separates it from the Pineapple Dragonfruit version, which adds tropical flavor, and from a Sprite drink, which is carbonated and has no lemon juice listed. A medium cup is listed at 260 calories, 66 g of carbohydrate, and no fat or protein.

The menu page does not describe how each restaurant mixes the drink, so this page sticks to what the menu says rather than guessing. It also lists the choices you can change: sugar-free sweetener at 0 calories, extra sugar at about 10 calories, and no ice, lite ice or extra ice at 0 calories each.

Diet Lemonade With Splenda: Calories Compared

Diet lemonade keeps the lemon juice and water and replaces the sugar with Splenda. The ingredient list shows Splenda made of dextrose, maltodextrin and sucralose.

Diet Lemonade With Splenda: Calories Compared

Version	Calories per container	Carbs
Lemonade	260	66 g
Diet Lemonade	60	15 g

That is a drop of 200 calories for the same cup. It suits anyone cutting sugar, though the 15 g of carbohydrate is still not zero. For the bigger picture, read the calorie and nutrition guide.

Chick Fil A Frosted Lemonade: Icedream Meets Lemonade

The Frosted Lemonade is a hand-spun mix of lemonade (or diet lemonade) and Icedream, the brand's soft-serve dessert. It is a drink and a dessert in one cup.

The menu lists it at 350 calories and 65 g of sugar, and it contains milk. That milk comes from the Icedream, so anyone avoiding dairy should skip it, even though plain lemonade has none.

You can order it with diet lemonade as the base, which makes the drink lighter on sugar but still includes the Icedream. Chick-fil-A's support page says seasonal frosted options, including the Frosted Lemonade, may be available depending on location and timing. Check your app for what is pouring near you.

Compared with a plain cup, the frosted version adds 90 calories to the regular lemonade's 260, and it is thicker and colder. A frosted soda is a different base. The standard Frosted Soda and Float are listed at about 320 calories, with a fountain drink in place of lemonade.

The menu lists the Frosted Lemonade for pickup and delivery, though availability varies by restaurant.

Chick Fil A Frosted Strawberry Lemonade and Other Flavors

The strawberry version is a seasonal flavor of the Frosted Lemonade. When it was introduced as a limited-time item in 2017, it combined lemonade, vanilla Icedream and strawberry purée.

Do not count on it being on the menu today. Other flavors come and go the same way, and Pineapple Dragonfruit also has a frosted version on the treats side of the menu.

Shake-style nicknames for the Frosted Lemonade refer to this same drink, not a separate item. If the flavor you want is not shown in the app, your restaurant is not serving it right now.

Sunjoy Chick Fil A Orders: Half Lemonade, Half Iced Tea

A Sunjoy is half lemonade and half freshly brewed iced tea in one cup. You pick sweet or unsweet tea and regular or diet lemonade, which gives you four combinations.

Sunjoy Chick Fil A Orders: Half Lemonade, Half Iced Tea

Sunjoy combination	Calories per container
Sweet tea and lemonade	240
Sweet tea and diet lemonade	110
Unsweet tea and lemonade	160
Unsweet tea and diet lemonade	35

The 160-calorie unsweet tea and lemonade version is listed for a medium, per the menu page. The Pineapple Dragonfruit Sunjoy is a separate flavored drink on the seasonal side of the menu, at 240 calories.

Each combination suits a different person. Sweet tea and lemonade is the sweetest, while unsweet tea and diet lemonade is the lightest at 35 calories. The unsweet tea and lemonade version keeps the sugar in the lemonade but drops it from the tea, which is why it sits at 160.

To order one, ask for a Sunjoy and name your tea and lemonade. You can read more about the tea side on the sweet and unsweet iced tea page.

Chick Fil A Sun Joy vs Arnold Palmer: Same Idea, Different Name

The brand spells it as one word, Sunjoy, but many people type it as two. It is the same drink: lemonade and iced tea in one cup, with the tea freshly brewed each day.

If you see the two-word spelling online, it points to this same menu item, not a second drink.

Arnold Palmer is the general name for a tea and lemonade mix, so Sunjoy is Chick-fil-A's version of the idea.

Strawberry Lemonade at Chick Fil A: What to Know

The current beverage lineup lists classic lemonade, diet lemonade and the Pineapple Dragonfruit options. A strawberry lemonade is not a standing item on that list.

Where strawberry appears, it has been a seasonal flavor, usually as a frosted drink with strawberry purée. If you see it in your app, that location is serving it. If you do not, it is not on offer there right now.

No price is listed here because none is guaranteed. Prices and flavors vary by restaurant.

Chick Fil A Lemonade Gallon: Serving a Group

Lemonade by the gallon is sold through Chick-fil-A catering. The catering menu lists a regular gallon, a diet gallon and a half and half gallon of lemonade and diet lemonade.

A gallon serves about 10 to 11 cups of 12 ounces. Per 12-ounce serving, the regular gallon is listed at 190 calories, the diet gallon at 40 and the half and half blend at 120.

Sunjoy comes by the gallon too, in all four combinations. Per 12-ounce serving, the catering page lists sweet tea and lemonade at 160 calories, sweet tea and diet lemonade at 90, unsweet tea and lemonade at 100, and unsweet tea and diet lemonade at 20. Order ahead through Chick-fil-A catering options, and expect price and availability to vary by location.

Sizes, Ice and Sweetener Choices

You can order small, medium or large. A small cup works as a kid-friendly chick fil a lemon drink that keeps the sugar down.

The menu lists the same three sizes for both the regular and diet cups, and the calorie figure it shows is per container, so a large will carry more than the number listed. Check the app for the size you want.

Ice is yours to choose: no ice, lite ice or extra ice, all at 0 calories. For sweetener, choose sugar-free sweetener at 0 calories or extra sugar at about 10 calories.

Allergen and Diet Notes

The regular and diet lemonades list only water, lemon juice and a sweetener, and neither lists milk. The Frosted Lemonade is the exception, because the Icedream contains milk.

Diet lemonade uses Splenda, which lists sucralose, so people who avoid artificial sweeteners should choose the regular cup or the unsweet tea Sunjoy with regular lemonade. The regular cup carries 66 g of carbohydrate, which matters if you count carbs. Nutrition can shift with customizations, and the menu says values may vary, so use the app as the final check for your own needs.

Which Lemonade Should You Order?

Pick by what matters most to you.

Lowest sugar: diet lemonade at 60 calories, or Sunjoy with unsweet tea and diet lemonade at 35.
Classic taste: the regular cup, with real lemon juice and cane sugar.
A little of both: Sunjoy with unsweet tea and lemonade, at 160 calories.
Dessert: Frosted Lemonade, at 350 calories, with milk in the mix.
Something different: the Pineapple Dragonfruit drinks, when they are on the menu.

If you order for a group, the gallon is the practical pick. If you order for a child, a small cup keeps the portion sensible. For a full list of what else is on the board, visit the full restaurant menu.

Whatever you choose, lemonade at Chick-fil-A is easy to adjust with ice and sweetener, so tell the team member what you want when you order.
