Cheddars Texas Sweet Tea: Price, Calories & Nutrition Guide
The Cheddars Texas Sweet Tea sounds like the soft drink your grandmother would pour, but this is a cocktail: Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka and amaretto mixed with lemonade, served only in the dining room. It is the sweet-tea drink for guests who want the flavour of a Southern staple with a genuine kick behind it.
The price is $6.99 at the Arlington, Texas, Cheddar’s, and Cheddar’s official nutrition guide lists it at 230 calories. One thing to know before you plan a round of them: the menu puts a “Limit 2 per guest” note on this drink, so the table can order two each and no more. This guide covers the Texas Sweet Tea price, what comes in it, its calories and full nutrition, what to pair it with, and how to order it.

What Comes With the Texas Sweet Tea?
Order the Texas Sweet Tea and you get a single dine-in cocktail built on three named parts: Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka, amaretto and lemonade. There is no size choice, no frozen version and no priced add-on attached to the listing — the only control on the ordering page is a free-text box for special instructions. The listing is also plainly marked dine-in only at Arlington: there is no add-to-cart button for this drink, so it is poured at the restaurant and enjoyed at your table or the bar.

How Much Does the Texas Sweet Tea Cost?
The Texas Sweet Tea price is $6.99 at the Arlington, Texas, Cheddar’s. That puts it at the joint-lowest price on the dine-in cocktail list, level with the Texas Margarita, the Texas Frozen Swirls and Cheddar’s Long Island Iced Tea — and a full $4.00 below the El Patrón Margarita at the top of the menu. For a named-vodka cocktail, $6.99 is an easy order to say yes to; the only ceiling on it is the house one, the Limit 2 per guest note printed on the listing.

Texas Sweet Tea Nutrition and Calories
The Texas Sweet Tea is listed at 230 calories in Cheddar’s official nutrition guide — exactly the figure the Arlington menu displays, so the two official sources agree. For a sweetened cocktail the panel is simple: there is no fat and no cholesterol at all, and almost all of the count comes from the sugars, which run to 31 grams of the drink’s 32 grams of carbohydrates. The sodium, at 15 mg, is as low as anything on the cocktail list. The table below is the full official panel.

What to Pair With the Texas Sweet Tea
Cheddar’s Long Island Iced Tea is the natural second round for a table working through the tea-named cocktails. It is built on house liquors and sweet & sour with a splash of Coca-Cola, and it lands at the same $6.99 and the same 230 calories — two very different drinks wearing similar names, which makes ordering one of each an easy comparison.
Presidente Sangria changes the direction from tea to wine. The sangria, built on Beso Del Sol with Presidente brandy, sweet & sour and fresh fruit, is the lightest full cocktail on the list at $7.99 and 170 calories, so a guest who has hit their two-drink limit on the sweet tea still has a lighter pour to move to.
Texas Margarita is the classic to set beside it. Gold tequila and fine liqueurs, on the rocks or frozen, at $6.99 and a menu-listed 340 calories — order the margarita for the guest who wants tart and the sweet tea for the one who wants smooth, and the table covers both ends of the cocktail list at the same price.
What the Limit 2 per Guest Note Means
Only two drinks on the whole Cocktails list carry the “Limit 2 per guest” note — this Texas Sweet Tea and the dine-in Cheddar’s Painkiller — and the note does exactly what it says: the restaurant will serve a maximum of two of them to any one guest. It is worth planning around rather than discovering at the table. If the sweet tea is your drink of the night, two is the full run; after that, the rest of the cocktail list is still open, and the Presidente Sangria at 170 calories or a Classic Mule at 130 calories keeps the evening going at a lighter count.
The note is also the honest reminder of what this drink is. However easy it drinks — and at 230 calories with lemonade up front, it drinks easy — it is a vodka and amaretto cocktail, not an iced tea, and the house treats it that way. Order it knowing the cap is there, and nobody at the table is surprised when a third one is politely declined.
Nutrition and Allergen Considerations
At 230 calories, the Texas Sweet Tea sits in the middle of the cocktail list: heavier than the mules, lighter than the frozen swirls and margaritas, with 31 grams of sugars as the figure most worth knowing before you order. On allergens, the position has to be stated exactly: Cheddar’s official Allergen Guide publishes no beverage rows at all — there is no allergen listing for this drink or for any cocktail on the menu — so no official allergen flags exist to pass on, and the absence of a listing does not make the drink allergen-free. Cheddar’s warns that its food and drinks are prepared in shared areas, so cross-contact can occur, and it cannot guarantee that any menu item is completely free of allergens. If you have an allergy concern, ask your restaurant about this drink before you order it.
