Swig drink calories vary greatly based on size, soda base, and additions:

• Small (16oz): Can range from 80-350 calories
• Medium (24oz): Typically contains 150-500 calories
• Large (32oz): Can reach 250-700+ calories

Pro Tip: Using diet soda as a base can save hundreds of calories. For example, a Medium Dr. Pepper (290 calories) becomes ~0 calories with a diet base! Use our Swig nutrition calculator to explore options.

For the lowest calories at Swig, focus on these choices:

• Diet Soda Base: Always start with a diet soda (e.g., Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Diet Dr. Pepper)
• Sugar-Free Syrups: Opt for sugar-free flavor shots (e.g., sugar-free coconut, vanilla, peach)
• Fresh Fruit Add-ins: Lemon, lime, orange wedges add flavor with minimal calories
• Avoid Cream/Purées: Cream, half & half, and fruit purées significantly increase calories and sugar

Best Healthy Combo: A Medium Diet Coke with sugar-free coconut and a fresh lime wedge = <5 calories! Perfect for enjoying Swig guilt-free.

A Medium (24oz) “The Founder” typically contains:

• Calories: Approx. 350-450 (depending on Dr. Pepper variant)
• Sugar: Approx. 80-100g (over 20 teaspoons!)
• Carbohydrates: Approx. 85-110g
• Fat: Minimal (from cream, if added)

“The Founder” (Dr. Pepper, coconut, vanilla, half & half) is a delicious but high-sugar option. The majority of sugar comes from the regular soda base and the flavored syrups.

Lighter Alternative: Order a “Diet Founder” with Diet Dr. Pepper, sugar-free coconut, sugar-free vanilla, and no half & half. This reduces sugar to almost 0g and calories to under 10!

Absolutely! Here’s how to significantly reduce sugar in any Swig drink:

• Swap to Diet Soda: This is the most impactful change, eliminating most of the sugar.
• Choose Sugar-Free Syrups: Most flavors have a sugar-free alternative. Ask your Swig server!
• Reduce Syrup Pumps: If you prefer regular syrup, ask for “half sweet” or fewer pumps.
• Skip the Cream/Purées: These add both sugar and calories.
• Add Fresh Fruit: Lemon, lime, and orange provide natural flavor without added sugar.

Customization is Key: Don’t be afraid to ask for modifications! Swig is known for its customizable drinks, making it easy to tailor to your dietary needs. Our calculator can help you see the impact of each change.

“Dirty Soda” additions generally add calories, sugar, and fat:

• Coconut Cream: Adds significant calories and fat. Often 100-200+ calories per drink.
• Fruit Purées (e.g., Strawberry, Peach): High in natural and added sugars, increasing calorie count.
• Syrups (regular): Each pump adds ~20-40 calories and 5-10g of sugar.
• Fresh Fruit (e.g., Lemon, Lime): Negligible calories, excellent for flavor.

While delicious, the cream and sugary purées are where the majority of extra calories and sugar come from in a “dirty” drink. Enjoy them in moderation or opt for sugar-free versions where available.

Smart “Dirty” Choices: Use a diet soda base, choose sugar-free syrups, and consider asking for less cream or a splash instead of a full pump to cut down on calories without losing all the flavor.

Swig also offers delicious treats, but be mindful of their nutritional impact:

Treat Smart: If you’re managing your calorie or sugar intake, consider sharing these treats or enjoying them on special occasions. Pairing a full-sugar drink with a cookie can easily put you over 800-1000 calories and well over 100g of sugar in a single snack!
