The Big Al at Swig is a dirty soda made with Diet Coke, coconut syrup and fresh lime. A 32 oz costs $3.59 at the middle-priced store, and Swig lists it at 15 to 40 calories.
What's in a Big Al
Swig's online ordering menu lists it as: Diet Coke + Coconut + Fresh Lime.
In plain words, the Big Al drink is Diet Coke with coconut syrup and fresh lime, and no cream. It's one of three Diet Coke drinks among the 40 Swig dirty sodas, alongside The Founder and This Bliss.

How the Big Al price adds up
A Swig drink's price is the cup plus each add-in, and the Big Al has just two paid add-ins. At the 49 stores that charge exactly $3.59 for a 32 oz, it breaks down like this:
| Part | Price |
|---|---|
| $2.79 | |
| Coconut syrup | $0.40 |
| Fresh lime | $0.40 |
| Total | $3.59 |
The cup and the add-ins vary a little by store: the 32 oz soda cup runs $2.45 to $2.89, and the coconut syrup and fresh lime are $0.40 or $0.45 each. Across the 178 stores, a 32 oz Big Al runs $3.35 to $3.79; the cheapest cups and add-ins aren't at the same stores.
At $3.59 for a 32 oz at the middle-priced store, it ties for the lowest price among Swig's 40 dirty sodas with Malibu, Save Me Jade, Shark Attack, This Bliss and the Unlucky Ducky. Going from a 32 oz to a 44 oz adds $0.20 ($3.79). See Swig sizes and prices for how every cup is priced, or price your own version in the Swig drink price calculator.
Big Al vs The Founder
The Big Al is close to The Founder. Both are Diet Coke with coconut and fresh lime. The Founder uses sugar-free coconut syrup and adds coconut cream. The syrup swap costs nothing at almost every store, so the $0.65 gap for a 32 oz at the middle-priced store is the coconut cream.
| Big Al | The Founder | |
|---|---|---|
| Base | Diet Coke | Diet Coke |
| Coconut syrup | Regular | Sugar-free |
| Fresh lime | Yes | Yes |
| Coconut cream | No | Yes |
| 32 oz (middle store) | $3.59 | $4.24 |
| Calories (Swig) | 15 to 40 | 20 to 80 |

Big Al calories
Swig lists the Big Al at 15 to 40 calories. That's one range for the whole drink across all five sizes; Swig doesn't publish a count for each size, so we don't give one.
Ranked by the top of Swig's calorie range, it's the second-lightest of the 40 dirty sodas, after Save Me Jade (0 calories); six of the 40 have no calories listed. The Founder, This Bliss and Pink Bahama follow, each topping out at 80.

How to order a Big Al with sugar-free syrup
These are menu facts, not diet advice. We checked the Big Al's options at all 178 stores:
- The base is already diet. Diet Coke comes with the cup, and Coke Zero costs nothing extra if you'd rather have it.
- Ask for sugar-free coconut. Swig's SF Coconut costs the same as regular coconut syrup at 177 of the 178 stores. At the other one, it's $0.05 less.
With SF Coconut, every part of the drink is a diet soda, a sugar-free syrup or fresh lime. Swig doesn't publish calories for a changed drink, so we can't say how much the swap changes the count. See Swig sugar-free drinks for more.
