The Dragon Dew is part of Swig’s signature soda creations, designed to elevate a standard soda into a full-on treat.
At its core, the Dragon Dew uses Mountain Dew as the base, then layers on tangy lemonade, sweet raspberry puree, creamy vanilla, and real dragon fruit pieces for an exotic, tropical twist. The result? A sweet, citrusy, and fruity drink that has just enough creaminess to balance out the tang.
This drink has become a fan-favorite for those who want something bold, tropical, and energizing.
