All prices below are based on standard U.S. locations. Prices vary slightly by region. Always check the DQ app for your local pricing before you visit.
DQ Shakes and Malts Prices
Shakes are made with creamy vanilla soft serve, real milk, and your choice of flavor. Every shake comes with whipped topping. Adding malted milk powder costs $0.20 extra and bumps up the calories by 60 to 110.
| Shake Flavor | Small | Medium | Large | Calories (Med) |
| Chocolate Shake or Malt | $3.49 | $3.99 | $4.59 | 710 |
| Hot Fudge Shake or Malt | $3.49 | $3.99 | $4.59 | 750 |
| Vanilla Shake or Malt | $3.29 | $3.69 | $4.59 | 600 |
| Strawberry Shake or Malt | $3.29 | $3.69 | $4.59 | 580 |
| Caramel Shake or Malt | $3.29 | $3.69 | $4.59 | 700 |
| Peanut Butter Shake or Malt | $3.29 | $3.69 | $4.59 | 780 |
| Banana Shake or Malt | $3.29 | $3.69 | $4.59 | 560 |
| S’mores Shake | $3.29 | $3.69 | $4.59 | 760 |
The S’mores Shake blends graham cracker base, marshmallow topping, and chocolate coating with vanilla soft serve. It is one of the thickest, most filling options on the menu.
The Peanut Butter Shake is the richest of the classic lineup. If you want something lighter, the Banana or Strawberry shake is the cleaner pick.
DQ MooLatté Prices
The MooLatté is DQ’s blended iced coffee drink. It is not a regular iced coffee. Think thick, cold, coffee-flavored soft serve in a cup. It sits between a frappuccino and a milkshake, and it costs less than both.
| MooLatté Flavor | Small | Medium | Large | Calories (Med) |
| Mocha MooLatté | $3.99 | $4.29 | $4.89 | 640 |
| Caramel MooLatté | $3.99 | $4.29 | $4.89 | 620 |
| Vanilla MooLatté | $3.99 | $4.29 | $4.89 | 570 |
The Mocha comes with a chocolate drizzle on top. The Caramel version adds caramel drizzle. If you want coffee flavor without the heavy chocolate, go Vanilla.
Misty Slush and Misty Freeze Prices
The Misty Slush is one of DQ’s most popular drinks for a reason. It is icy, bright, and cheap. The Misty Freeze is the same thing with a scoop of vanilla soft serve blended in. Different drink. Different experience.
| Drink | Small | Medium | Large | Calories (Med) |
| Cherry Misty Slush | $1.99 | $2.19 | $2.59 | 270 |
| Mango Misty Slush | $1.99 | $2.19 | $2.59 | 310 |
| Blue Raspberry Misty Slush | $1.99 | $2.19 | $2.59 | 260 |
| Strawberry Kiwi Misty Slush | $1.99 | $2.19 | $2.59 | 280 |
| Poolside Punch Misty Slush | $1.99 | $2.19 | $2.59 | 290 |
| Misty Freeze | $3.99 | $4.29 | $4.59 | 410 |
Poolside Punch layers blue raspberry and pink punch over ice. It looks great and tastes even better on a hot day. The Misty Freeze is the pick if you want something cold but creamier than a plain slush.
DQ Sparklers and Coolers Prices (New for 2026)
These are the newest drinks on the menu. Sparklers are carbonated and bubbly. Coolers are fruity and still. Both use real fruit juice bases. The Pineapple Lemonade Sparkler comes with a Tajin rim. It adds a mild spicy kick to the sweet and tart flavor. This sweet-spicy combination is trending right now, and DQ nailed it.
| Drink | Price |
| Pineapple Lemonade Sparkler with Tajin | Starting at $3.29 |
| DQ Coolers (various fruit flavors) | Starting at $2.99 |
Availability on Sparklers and Coolers may vary by location. Check the app before you visit.

| Medium | $2.19 | 200 to 280 |
| Large | $2.59 | 280 to 350 |
Available sodas include Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Barq’s Root Beer, Sprite, and lemon-lime options. Fountain drinks are refillable when you dine in at most locations. Diet Coke and other zero-calorie sodas are also available.

Bottled Water and Other Beverages
| Item | Price |
| Bottled Water | $1.99 |
| Milk (Kids Meal option) | Included with Kids Meal |
| Orange Julius Original (select locations) | Starting at $3.49 |
Orange Julius drinks are available at combo locations only. The Original is a smooth, frothy citrus drink. It has been around since 1926 and still pulls in loyal fans.
Best Dairy Queen Drinks for Every Craving
Not sure what to order? Here is a fast guide.
Best DQ Drink for a Hot Day
Cherry or Mango Misty Slush. Both are under 300 calories and cost less than $2.50 for a small. The Mango version is slightly sweeter. Cherry is more tart. Either way, you cool down fast.
Best DQ Drink for Coffee Lovers
The Mocha MooLatté. It is cold, thick, and strong enough to feel like a real coffee drink. If you want something lighter, the Vanilla MooLatté skips the fudge but still delivers the coffee flavor you came for.
Best DQ Drinks for Kids
Blue Raspberry Misty Slush in a small. It is bright blue, fun to drink, and low enough in calories to not be a problem. A small Vanilla Shake is the second best pick. Kids love the whipped topping.
Best Low-Calorie DQ Drink
Unsweetened iced tea sits near zero calories. A small Misty Slush comes in under 200 calories. Diet Coke is also available if you just want a soda without the sugar. These are your cleanest options on the whole menu. For a full nutrition breakdown of every menu item, the Nutritional Information page covers it all.
Best New DQ Drink to Try in 2026
The Pineapple Lemonade Sparkler with Tajin. Sweet pineapple, tart lemon, and a little heat from the Tajin rim. It is unlike anything else on the menu and worth trying before the season ends.
Best DQ Drink and Food Pairing
Barq’s Root Beer with a DQ cheeseburger. The sharp, slightly spicy root beer cuts through the richness of the beef and cheese. It is a classic combination that holds up every single time. If you want to explore the full food menu before you decide, start with the Sandwich Menu for all burger and sandwich options with prices.
DQ Drinks You Can Customize at the Counter
You can ask staff to mix Misty Slush flavors at most locations. Blue raspberry and cherry is a popular combo. Mango and strawberry kiwi layers into what people call a sunset look. The Twisty Misty Slush is the official two-flavor layered version already on the menu. Ask for that by name and you get two colors in one cup.
You can also ask for a Misty Freeze unblended. That gives you a float, not a blended drink. Slush on the bottom, soft serve sitting on top. Customers who grew up with the old Mr. Misty Float order it this way. It is not on the board but staff can make it.
Lemonade with strawberry puree added is a popular off-menu mix. DQ employees drink it themselves on shift. Ask for lemonade and add strawberry puree at the counter.
Dairy Queen Seasonal and Limited-Time Drinks 2026
The menu changes with the seasons. In fall, look for the Pumpkin Pie Shake. In spring and summer, Raspberry and Strawberry seasonal shakes come back. Seasonal shakes usually run $0.30 to $0.60 more than the regular menu and stay for six to twelve weeks.
The Summertime Sunset Slush is a seasonal favorite that returns during summer months. It layers mango and strawberry kiwi for a two-tone look that is as appealing to the eye as it is to drink. Check the app at your location for current availability.
The DQ app is the fastest way to see what is available at your nearest location right now. Seasonal drinks sell out and disappear quickly.

Sugar-Free and Low-Calorie Options
Diet Coke and other diet fountain drinks come in at zero calories. Unsweetened iced tea is also zero. A small Misty Slush ranges from 150 to 230 calories depending on flavor. If you want a sweet drink without the full sugar load, a small Cherry or Blue Raspberry Misty Slush is your best option.
Dairy-Free Drink Options
Misty Slush drinks do not contain dairy. Fountain sodas do not contain dairy. Bottled water is obviously dairy-free. If you have a dairy allergy, these are your safest choices on the drinks menu. Shakes, MooLattés, and Misty Freeze drinks all contain soft serve, which is a dairy product.
Dairy Queen Drinks Allergen Information
Most DQ drinks are straightforward, but there are a few things to know before you order.
Common Allergens in DQ Drinks
Dairy is present in shakes, MooLattés, Misty Freeze, and any drink that uses soft serve as a base.
Soy may appear in certain syrups and flavor bases used in specialty drinks.
Citrus is in lemonades and most fruit-flavored drinks.
Cross-contact is possible across all items since drinks are made in a fast-moving shared counter space. If you have a serious allergy, always speak to the staff directly. For a full allergen breakdown covering every menu item, visit the dedicated Allergen Menu page. Gluten-sensitive customers can also check the Gluten Free Menu for safe options across the full menu.
Safest Drinks if You Have Allergies
Misty Slush and fountain sodas carry the lowest allergen risk. The ingredients are simple and do not overlap with most common allergens. Bottled water is the only fully risk-free option. Always confirm with the staff at your specific location before ordering.
DQ Drinks With Artificial Dye What to Know
Several Misty Slush flavors use artificial food dyes. Cherry and blue raspberry both contain synthetic dyes. Red dye 40 is in cherry-flavored items. Blue raspberry uses a blue dye blend.
If you or your child reacts to artificial dyes, the safest drink choices are lemonade, fountain sodas without added syrup, bottled water, and the MooLatté which uses coffee and caramel syrups rather than fruit dyes.
Mango Misty Slush uses a yellow-orange coloring. Strawberry Kiwi uses a pink dye. If you have a known dye allergy, ask staff at your location about specific ingredients before ordering.

What Do DQ Drinks Actually Taste Like
Cherry Misty Freeze: tastes like a cherry Dilly Bar blended into a drink. Cold, sweet, and creamy with a slight tang from the cherry syrup.
Blue Raspberry Misty Slush: bright and sharp. More tart than sweet. The color is vivid blue. If you want something that tastes like a blue Jolly Rancher in frozen form, this is it.
Mocha MooLatté: strong coffee flavor with chocolate. Thicker than iced coffee from most places. Closer to a coffee milkshake than a cold brew.
Strawberry Lemonade: tart first, then sweet. The real strawberry puree keeps it from tasting artificial. One of the most refreshing drinks on the menu when it is hot outside.
Poolside Punch Misty Slush: blue raspberry layered over pink punch. Sweet with a tropical edge. Looks the best of any drink on the menu and tastes close to a fruit punch candy.
S’mores Frozen Hot Chocolate: graham cracker base, marshmallow, chocolate all blended cold. Tastes like a liquid s’more. Heavy and filling. Share it or get a small.
Conclusions
Cold cup in your hand. Ice rattling around. That first sip of something icy on a hot afternoon. That is what the DQ drinks menu is about.
From a $1.99 Misty Slush to a thick S’mores Shake, there is a drink for every mood and every budget. The new Sparklers and Coolers make 2026 one of the best years to try something fresh off the menu.
