KFC trials new drinks range ‘KWENCH’ in Wollongong

In Wollongong, KFC is trying out a drinks range named KWENCH by KFC, an offering with four categories – lemonades, boba drinks, shakes and iced coffees – and 10 flavours.

The announcement:

Get ready to sip, slurp, and salivate over KFC’s new KWENCH by KFC drinks range, being tested in Australia for the first time. In what is perhaps the greatest liquid moment since water itself, KFC has launched a new range of thirst-kwenchin’ drinks and Wollongong locals will be the very first Aussies to try them!

If you consider yourself a connoisseur of tasty bevvies, brace yourself for KFC’s most epic drink range yet. Featuring 10 tastebud-tantalizing beverages across four seriously delicious categories: Lemonades that pack a punch, Boba Refreshers that burst with flavour, Krunch Shakes that are the best kind of OTT indulgence, and Iced Koffees that’ll get you buzzing.

KFC fans in need of a refreshment can head down to any of the participating Wollongong restaurants to be the first lucky chooks to enjoy this delicious new range. Launching in four restaurants in March (Fairy Meadow, Unanderra, Warrawong and Dapto), followed by four more thirst-quenching additions in April (Shellharbour, Shellharbour food court, Albion Park 2, Wollongong food court), Kwench is guaranteed to hit the sweet treat spot and deliver that perfect afternoon pick-me-up you’ve been craving. Still need convincing? Buckle up for this mouthwatering lineup:

  • LEMONADES: Kick things off with our Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade ($5.45) – the perfect wingman for your favourite fried chicken. Or if you can handle the heat, try the Spicy Mango Lemonade ($5.45) made with hot honey!
  • BOBA REFRESHERS: These aren’t your average drinks – they’re loaded with green tea and hibiscus pearls that literally burst in your mouth! Choose between the Cherry Boba Refresher or Watermelon Boba Refresher ($5.95) for a literal flavour explosion.
  • KRUNCH SHAKES: Prepare for the ultimate indulgence with our creamy shakes topped with crunchy bits of heaven. Pick from Caramel or Chocolate Krunch Shakes, topped with biscuit crumb, or our tropical Mango Coconut Krunch Shake with shredded coconut ($5.95).
  • ICED KOFFEE KRUNCH: Coffee lovers, this one’s for you. Start your morning right with our classic Iced Latte ($5.95) for the perfect coffee hit. Or enjoy an afternoon sweet treat with the Iced Caramel or Iced Mocha Koffee Krunch ($6.45), drizzled with syrup and delish Krunch toppings.

Sally Spriggs, group marketing director at KFC Australia, commented: “We’re always looking to push the boundaries of flavour, and KWENCH by KFC is our most exciting beverage innovation yet. This range has everything from refreshing lemonades to indulgent shakes that are prepared fresh in-restaurant.”

Hitting Wollongong menus from Tuesday 6th May 2025 at four select restaurants, followed by four more additions in April, KWENCH by KFC can be purchased from the participating restaurants listed below. So, whether it be the bold taste of a Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade, the hit of an Iced Latte or an Iced Caramel Koffee Krunch sweet treat, KFC’s exciting new specialty drinks range has you covered!
