Balling on the court — and in the kitchen.

The Milwaukee Bucks unveiled their lineup of new food and beverage offerings at a news conference at Fiserv Forum on Monday, Oct. 20, just ahead of the 2025-26 season, which tips off Oct. 22 at home vs. the Washington Wizards.

“Our culinary team here has been hard at work this offseason, coming up with brand-new recipes throughout the arena,” said Mason Gohlke, vice president of hospitality at Fiserv Forum and Deer District.

For example, Peter Feigin, president of the Bucks and Fiserv Forum, announced that Milwaukee will be the first NBA team to serve King’s Hawaiian pretzel bites.

In addition to new alcoholic drinks — like Skimmers spiked iced teas — the Bucks are hopping on the dirty soda trend with Fizz, Gohlke said. Also in the NA category, the Bucks named Milwaukee’s own Calypso the official lemonade of the team.

“From reimagined classics to globally inspired flavors, the new menus reflect a bold commitment to innovation, quality and local flair,” said Marlene Duke, senior executive chef of Fiserv Forum and Deer District.

Here’s a preview of the new food and drinks being served up at the arena this season:
