Still Lemonade UK Price & Calories 2026
After walking around near an airport departure area for a while, with a friend and wanting something fresh rather than a hot drink, Costa’s Still Lemonade made sense as a quick takeaway. It worked better as something to carry on with than a drink to sit over for ages.
The main question is simple: does Still Lemonade make sense on a warm day for the price and calories? Yes, if you want a cold, straightforward lemonade and you’re happy paying Costa cold-drink prices. The Medium is the one I’d choose for most people because the jump from Small is only 25p, while the portion goes from 334 ml to 432 ml.

What you pay
The Still Lemonade price in the UK is £3.90 for a Small and £4.15 for a Medium. That puts the Medium only 25p above the Small, which is the key thing to notice at the counter.
For that extra 25p, the Medium goes up from 334 ml to 432 ml. That’s a useful increase if you’re actually thirsty, and the calorie rise is 14 kcal. If you’re buying it as a quick cold drink to take away, the Medium feels like the more sensible order unless you know you only want a smaller portion.
The Small still has a place. If you just want a light sip alongside something else, or you don’t want to spend the extra 25p, it keeps the price and calories lower. But for most warm-day orders, I’d lean Medium.
Small or Medium: what makes sense?
The best size depends on why you’re ordering it. If you’re after refreshment and you’ll be walking around, the Medium makes more sense. It gives you more drink for a small price difference, and the nutrition increase is fairly small in absolute numbers: 54 kcal rather than 40 kcal.
If you’re choosing mainly by sugar, the Small is the cleaner pick. It has 9 g sugar compared with 12 g in the Medium. That’s a difference of 3 g sugar between the two sizes.
My practical recommendation is this: choose Medium if Still Lemonade is your main cold drink, especially on a warm day. Choose Small if you’re only half-thirsty, watching the spend closely, or pairing it with food and don’t want the extra volume.
Still Lemonade nutrition: how heavy is it really?
Still Lemonade has 40 kcal in Small and 54 kcal in Medium. That makes it a relatively low-calorie Costa cold drink based on the figures here, with the Medium coming in below a typical banana at around 90 kcal.
The main number to watch is sugar. Small has 9 g sugar and Medium has 12 g sugar. Fat, saturates, protein and salt are all listed as 0 g in both sizes. Carbs follow the sugar closely: 9.1 g in Small and 12 g in Medium.
Portion size matters here. The Medium is 432 ml, so it’s a bigger drink without becoming a big calorie decision. If you’re choosing between sizes, the 14 kcal difference is less important than whether you actually want the extra 98 ml and the extra 3 g sugar.
| Size | Portion (ml) | Energy (kcal) | Energy (kJ) | Sugar (g) | Fat (g) | Saturates (g) | Carbs (g) | Protein (g) | Salt (g) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 334 | 40 | 168 | 9 | 0 | 0 | 9.1 | 0 | 0 |
| Medium | 432 | 54 | 224 | 12 | 0 | 0 | 12 | 0 | 0 |
Who should order this?
Order Still Lemonade if you want a cold, still drink that feels simple and refreshing, without making a major calorie commitment. It’s the sort of Costa order that works well when you want something to carry with you rather than a drink that asks for a sit-down moment.
Skip it if your main aim is the cheapest possible drink, because £3.90 for the Small and £4.15 for the Medium is still a Costa cold-drink spend. Also skip the Medium if the sugar number matters more to you than the extra volume, because it moves from 9 g sugar in Small to 12 g in Medium.
My pick would be the Medium. The extra 25p gets you 98 ml more, and the calorie increase is 14 kcal. That’s a trade-off I’d usually accept for a fresh takeaway drink, especially when Still Lemonade is the thing I’m buying rather than an add-on.
