If you’ve ever driven past a Swig and seen a line wrapped around the building, you already know this isn’t a normal soda stop. Swig started in St. George, Utah back in 2010 and turned an ordinary fountain drink into something people plan their afternoon around — the “dirty soda.” Today the chain has grown to more than 160 locations across roughly 16 states, mostly across Utah, Texas, Arizona, Idaho, and the wider western and southern U.S.
This guide breaks down everything on the current Swig menu — drinks, food, prices, calories, and a few insider tips — so you know exactly what to order before you even reach the speaker.
What Makes Swig Different
Swig’s whole concept revolves around customization. Instead of picking a soda off a fixed list, you choose a base drink, then layer in flavored syrups, fruit purées, and cream. The result is a dessert-like drink that’s still technically “just a soda.” This style is now commonly called a dirty soda, and Swig is widely credited as one of the brands that popularized it nationally.

The menu is generally organized into five categories:
- Dirty Sodas
- Refreshers
- Revivers (energy drinks)
- Sweets & Treats (cookies, pretzel bites, cream pops)
- Create Your Own
Dirty Soda Menu & Prices
Dirty sodas are the heart of the menu — carbonated drinks mixed with fruit purée, syrup, and cream. Prices typically fall between $1.50 and $4.00 depending on size and add-ins.
| Drink | Description | Price (approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Dirty Dr Pepper | Dr Pepper with coconut and vanilla cream | $1.90 |
| Texas Tab | Dr Pepper, vanilla, coconut cream | $2.60–$3.00 |
| Raspberry Dream | Dr Pepper, raspberry purée, coconut cream | $2.90 |
| Beach Babe | Mountain Dew, raspberry, peach, vanilla cream | $2.60–$3.00 |
| Guava Have It | Sprite base with guava and cream | $2.60–$3.00 |
| Create Your Own Dirty Soda | Any soda + flavor + fruit + cream | starts at $1.50 |
Most locations offer sugar-free syrup swaps at no extra charge, which makes the dirty soda menu fairly easy to adapt for lower-sugar diets.
Refreshers & Revivers
If soda isn’t your thing, Swig also runs a lighter, caffeine-optional Refreshers line and a caffeinated Revivers line (their take on an energy drink).
- Refreshers – fruit purée and lemonade or water base, generally under 150 calories, priced around $2.50–$4.00
- Revivers – caffeinated, fruit-forward energy drinks, priced around $3.00–$5.49 depending on size
Sizes across the board are typically small (22 oz), medium (32 oz), and large (44 oz), and the price difference between sizes usually runs about $0.50–$1.00.
Food Menu: Cookies, Pretzel Bites & Cream Pops
Swig isn’t only drinks. Its food menu has become just as much of a draw:
- Sugar Cookies – topped with buttermilk frosting, $2.25–$3.99
- Pretzel Bites – salted or dill ranch, served with white cheddar or strawberry cream cheese dip, around $3.75
- Mini Cookie Cups/Party Packs – chocolate chip or seasonal flavors, sold individually or in bulk party packs
- Cream Pops – frozen, dipped treats like Shark Attack or Strawberry Breeze, seasonal
- Hot Chocolate – hot or frozen, with seasonal versions like Cinnamon Bun or Dulce de Leche around $3.49
Seasonal & Limited-Time Items
Swig rotates seasonal drinks fairly aggressively — think Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate in fall, Candy Cane Crush around the holidays, and fruit-heavy “Dragon Fruit Summer” specials in warmer months. If you see a seasonal item you like, it’s worth ordering it more than once — most don’t stay on the menu longer than 6–10 weeks.
Is There a Swig Secret Menu?
Swig doesn’t run an official secret menu, but because the “Create Your Own” system lets you combine any soda with any syrup, fruit, and cream, regular customers have built a large library of unofficial combos over the years. If you want to try building your own, a good starting formula is:
Soda base + 1 fruit purée + 1 flavored syrup + cream, then adjust sweetness with lime or extra ice.
How Much Does Swig Cost on Average?
Compared to Starbucks or Dutch Bros, Swig is generally cheaper. Most drinks land between $1.50 and $5.75, and food items run $1.75–$3.99. A typical order — one medium dirty soda plus a cookie — usually costs somewhere around $5–$7 before tax.
Swig Catering (“Swig on Site”)
For groups, Swig runs a catering program with a few tiers:
- Classic Service – smaller gatherings, minimum 50 drinks, up to 2 hours
- Signature Service – larger events (150+ guests), starting around $749 for 175 handcrafted drinks
- Teach, Treat, Repeat – built for school appreciation events, minimum 30 drinks
- The Big Batch – bulk cookie orders, minimum 4 dozen
Current catering pricing is best confirmed directly through Swig’s official site since it can shift by region.
Where to Find Swig
Swig operates primarily as a drive-thru chain, with locations concentrated in Utah (its home state), along with a growing footprint in Texas, Arizona, Idaho, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Tennessee. Menu selection can vary slightly by state — Utah locations tend to have the widest variety and, in some cases, marginally lower prices.
