The 9 best Swig drinks at a glance

Median price across 178 Swig stores, checked October 15, 2026. Calories are Swig's published ranges. Swig names only the top three as most popular; the rest are ranked by our scoring below.

How we picked these

We scored every drink on who recommends it, not on our own taste:

• 3 points if Swig names it one of its most popular drinks on its FAQ page.
• 2 points if swig.com's homepage features it on the current menu (checked October 11, 2026).
• 1 point if a published taste test included it. We used Atlanta Magazine's October 1, 2026 taste test of five drinks.

Ties go to the drink more people named in an r/Swig "Drink Recommendations" thread. After that, the lower price wins (32 oz, or Medium for Swig Energy). A drink makes the list with 3 or more points, or 2 points plus a Reddit pick. This is a popularity list, not a taste ranking.
