FAQ
1. How much does The Ring King cost?
It ranges from $1.50 (12 oz) to $2.65 (44 oz). Most customers go for 24 oz or 32 oz for the best balance of flavor and value.
2. Is it really that sweet?
Yes—it’s one of Swig’s sweetest drinks, thanks to cupcake syrup and strawberry purée. You can tone it down with light syrup or skip the vanilla cream for a less rich version.
3. Can I get it with Diet Dr Pepper?
Absolutely. Diet Dr Pepper is a great substitute to reduce sugar and calories while keeping the signature cola base.
4. What does The Ring King taste like?
It tastes like a strawberry cupcake float—creamy, fizzy, and full of fruit-forward sweetness. The cupcake syrup brings a vanilla cake flavor, while strawberry purée adds tart brightness, and the cream smooths everything out.
5. Is it gluten-free?
Yes, all standard ingredients used in The Ring King are gluten-free. As always, alert staff if you have celiac or a severe allergy to minimize cross-contact.
6. Is there dairy in this drink?
Yes, the vanilla cream contains dairy. If you’re avoiding dairy, request the drink without cream, or ask if a non-dairy substitute is available.
7. Can I make it vegan?
It’s not vegan by default due to the cream. Remove the cream and double-check the cupcake syrup (as some “cupcake” syrups may contain milk derivatives). Otherwise, it’s plant-based.
8. Does it contain caffeine?
Yes. Dr Pepper contains caffeine—about 2.5 mg per oz. You can swap in caffeine-free Diet Coke, Sprite, or Root Beer if you’re sensitive to caffeine.
9. Can kids drink The Ring King?
Yes, though we recommend ordering a 12 oz or 16 oz and considering a caffeine-free soda base if you’re avoiding stimulants for children.
10. What if I want it less creamy?
Ask for:
- Light cream
- No cream
- Extra strawberry purée to make it more fruit-forward instead
This makes it taste more like a fruity soda than a dessert.
11. Can I add extra flavors?
Definitely. Popular add-ins include:
- Raspberry
- Coconut
- Peach
- Or even extra vanilla cream
Just ask your Swig barista!
12. Does it come with toppings?
Not by default, but you can request whipped cream or even a cherry on top to give it a milkshake-style finish.
