Swig, the popular national specialty drink chain known for its “dirty sodas,” has officially opened its first location in Leesburg.
The new soda shop is located at 914 N 14th Street, in the vacant retail space formerly occupied by HTeaO, situated near the corner of N 14th Street and Citizens Boulevard.
Leesburg-News.com reported that Swig was taking over the space late last year.
Originally founded in St. George, Utah, Swig has gained a significant following for its custom, specialty mixed beverages. The shop’s signature “dirty sodas” feature various combinations of traditional sodas, flavored syrups, and creams.
The menu at the Leesburg location features the brand’s popular dirty sodas like the “Texas Tab” and “The Founder,” refreshers (which are fruit-infused sparkling waters), and blended and iced energy drinks.
Desserts include salted pretzel bites and the chain’s signature sugar cookies.
The shop also features a dedicated “Kids” menu and seasonal “Hot Chocolate” options. Customers can fully personalize their orders by choosing a base, adding flavors, and selecting various “creamy” or “fizzy” toppers.
The Leesburg Swig, which features a drive-thru window, marks the brand’s continued expansion into Florida’s specialty beverage market.
Across the Sunshine State, the brand is currently working on new locations in Ocala and Cape Coral. In recent years, new Swig stores have sprouted up in Brandenton and Lutz as well.
