You will find Heartthrob under Swig Dirty Soda Menu on the Swig menu. The recipe starts with Big Red Cream Soda and adds Vanilla, Strawberry Puree and Vanilla Cream. The cream gives it a smoother, dessert-style finish. We last saw it listed at $3.55, though prices change by city.
What does Heartthrob taste like?
Heartthrob is a sweetheart on the Swig Dirty Soda Menu. Big Red cream soda — already vanilla-cherry on its own — gets extra vanilla, strawberry puree and vanilla cream, turning it into a pink, creamy, berry-vanilla dream. It tastes like a strawberry cream soda float: soft, sweet, and romantic enough to match the name.
What’s inside Heartthrob?
The build is Big Red Cream Soda + Vanilla + Strawberry Puree + Vanilla Cream. Big Red is the secret weapon — a cream soda with a cinnamon-cherry edge that most people outside Texas have never tried. Vanilla doubles down on the cream-soda character, strawberry puree adds real fruit, and vanilla cream makes it indulgently smooth.
Heartthrob price and calories
We last saw Heartthrob listed at $3.55, though prices change by city and cup size. No published calorie range is listed — with vanilla cream plus vanilla syrup over an already-sweet cream soda, this is firmly a dessert drink; light cream is the easy trim.
How to order Heartthrob like a regular
Order by name. Strawberry lovers go extra puree; those who find Big Red too distinctive can ask for a Dr Pepper base swap (off-menu but doable). Similar creamy-berry vibes: Raspberry Dream and Princess Peach.
