Strawberry Dragonfruit is a recent addition to Panda Express’s Panda Crafted Beverage lineup. August 2026 launch coverage introduced it as a fruit-flavored drink option; this guide explains which price, portion and availability details to check locally.
What is Strawberry Dragonfruit Refresher?
QSR Magazine’s August 17, 2026 report identifies Strawberry Dragonfruit as an addition to the Panda Crafted Beverage range. It describes strawberry and dragonfruit flavors and says it was available at participating restaurants nationwide. That report establishes launch context, while your selected restaurant’s current menu determines whether you can buy it today. Read the beverage announcement coverage.

Strawberry Dragonfruit price information
A nationwide fixed price was not established in the reviewed official information. August reporting by Allrecipes describes a typical $3.50–$4 range for the 24-ounce crafted beverages, depending on location. This is a reported reference, not a verified current price at your restaurant.
| Price reference | Amount | What it establishes |
|---|---|---|
| August beverage launch coverage | $3.50–$4 reported range | General location-dependent beverage pricing, not a live quote |
| Your selected restaurant | Check local listing | Exact flavor, size and ordering channel |
| Meal or bundle upgrade | Review the cart | Whether the crafted beverage qualifies and any extra charge |
Do not assume that a bundle advertised with a fountain drink includes every crafted beverage at the same amount. Compare the eligible drink and serving size before deciding whether an upgrade offers better value. Delivery fees and applicable tax also belong in the complete order total.
Calories, sugar and caffeine
An official Columbia & Hwy 405, Florida, Plate Bundle page lists 140 calories beside Strawberry Dragonfruit Refresher. Treat that as the reference for the listed drink option, not a guarantee for every serving or customization.
Exact sugar and caffeine values were not verified from the reviewed listing. A fruit-flavored name does not establish that a beverage contains no sugar or no caffeine. Use the current product information for the precise drink instead of substituting another refresher’s numbers.
For a complete meal calculation, add the beverage to the food components. An entrée calorie figure does not automatically include a drink. Our serving-information guide explains why the selected portion and full configuration matter.
Ingredients and flavor expectations
The launch coverage describes a strawberry-and-dragonfruit flavor profile. That is a useful starting point for choosing a drink, but it is not a complete ingredient declaration. It also does not establish the amount of fruit, juice, sweetener or any other component.
If you avoid an ingredient, review the published product information or ask the restaurant before ordering. Do not infer a dietary claim from the drink’s color, a fruit illustration or the absence of a visible topping. This article offers menu information rather than a first-hand taste review.
Pairing the drink with your meal
Choose the food first, then compare the price and nutrition of adding a beverage. A drink can be ordered alongside a meal without being included in its base price. Keep the same food configuration when comparing a drink-inclusive offer with separate items.
For recent entrée choices, see our Cantonese BBQ Brisket guide or Hot Orange Chicken update. These are ideas to compare, not official bundled offers or claims that the items are all available at one restaurant.
