Whatafreshers and Craft Lemonade
Whataburger does not publish whether Whatafreshers or Craft Lemonade contain caffeine, and their ingredients are not in our data. Fruit-flavored lemonades are usually caffeine-free, but some fruit refreshers at other chains add green coffee or tea extract, so we cannot say either way for Whatafreshers.
