You will find The Founder® under Swig Dirty Soda Menu on the Swig menu. The recipe starts with Diet Coke and adds Sugar Free Coconut, Fresh Lime and Coconut Cream. The cream gives it a smoother, dessert-style finish. Sugar-free syrups keep the sweetness lighter. We last saw it listed at $3.25, though prices change by city.
What does The Founder taste like?
The Founder is the lighter legend of the Swig Dirty Soda Menu. Diet Coke keeps it crisp and calorie-light, sugar-free coconut adds a tropical whisper without the sugar crash, fresh lime cuts through with bright citrus, and a swirl of coconut cream ties it all together. It drinks like a beachy, creamy lime soda — refreshing first, indulgent second.
What’s inside The Founder?
The recipe is Diet Coke + Sugar Free Coconut + Fresh Lime + Coconut Cream. The sugar-free coconut syrup delivers the coconut flavor without the calories, real lime wedges add acidity that keeps the cream from feeling heavy, and the coconut cream gives the signature dirty-soda silkiness. It is the best proof that “dirty” does not have to mean heavy.
The Founder price and calories
We last saw The Founder listed at $3.25, though prices change by city and cup size. Because it is built on Diet Coke with sugar-free syrups, it is one of the lightest cream-based drinks on the menu — the sweetness stays gentle and the calorie count stays low compared with regular-soda builds.
How to order The Founder like a regular
Order it by name — “The Founder” is a menu staple. Want it even lighter? Ask for light coconut cream. Want more zing? Extra lime. If you like this flavor lane, Big Al (Diet Coke, coconut, lime without the cream) is its simpler sibling, and Texas Tab is the full-sugar, full-cream counterpart.
The Founder FAQs
Is The Founder sugar-free?
Mostly — it uses Diet Coke and sugar-free coconut syrup, but the coconut cream itself is not sugar-free. Ask the crew if you need the full breakdown.
What is the difference between The Founder and Big Al?
Both start with Diet Coke, coconut and lime, but The Founder adds coconut cream for a richer, silkier drink while Big Al stays light and crisp.
