How to make 7 Brew Brew Frost
The 7 Brew Brew Frost is a specialty energy-style drink from 7 Brew, a drive-thru coffee chain. It combines blue raspberry, coconut, and vanilla flavors with added caffeine, giving it a sweet, fruity, and creamy taste.
Ingredients
To recreate the classic 7 Brew Brew Frost, you’ll need the following:
Basic Ingredients
- Blue Raspberry Syrup: 2 tablespoons
- Coconut Syrup: 1 tablespoon
- Vanilla Syrup: 1 tablespoon
- Ice: 1½ cups (crushed ice is best for texture)
- Soda Water or Lemon-Lime Soda (like Sprite): 6 ounces (adjust for fizz and sweetness)
Optional Add-Ons
- Sweet Cream or Cold Foam: for a creamy, dessert-like finish
- Sugar-Free Syrups: If you prefer a lighter option
- Whipped Cream: to top it off
- Sprinkles or Shredded Coconut: for decoration
Instructions
Step 1: Make sure all syrups and soda are chilled for the best results. You’ll also want to use crushed ice to replicate the smooth, icy texture you’d find at a coffee shop.
Step 2: In a blender, add blue raspberry syrup, coconut syrup, and vanilla syrup. Follow this with the soda water (or lemon-lime soda) and ice. Blend on high for 10-15 seconds or until it reaches a slushy consistency. Adjust the amount of ice as needed for thickness.
Step 3: Before you pour the drink, take a quick sip to ensure the flavor balance is right. Add more syrup for sweetness or soda water to mellow it out.
Step 4: Pour your icy mix into a large glass or tumbler. Top with optional add-ons like cold foam, whipped cream, or a drizzle of syrup if desired. Feel free to sprinkle shredded coconut or colorful sprinkles for extra flair.
Tips for Perfecting Your Brew Frost
- Balance the Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet drink, opt for sugar-free syrups or reduce the quantity slightly. You can also replace soda water with sparkling water to cut down on sugar.
- Play with Flavors: Want a twist? Add a squeeze of lemon or a few fresh fruit pieces like raspberries for a tart edge.
- Achieve the Right Texture: If your Frost feels too watery, add more ice and blend again. If it’s too thick, pour in a splash of soda or cold water to thin it out.
- Make It Creamy: Swirl in sweet cream or cold foam after blending for a richer flavor. This turns the Frost into an indulgent treat!
- Experiment with Decor: Presentation matters! Drizzle extra blue raspberry syrup down the sides of your glass for a pop of color or layer cold foam for a stunning two-tone effect.
- Serve Immediately: The Brew Frost is best enjoyed fresh, as the icy texture can melt quickly. If you’re serving guests, prep the ingredients ahead of time for quick blending.
What to serve with
The 7 Brew Brew Frost is a sweet, icy drink bursting with tropical flavors—blue raspberry, coconut, and vanilla. Its refreshing and vibrant taste pairs well with a variety of indulgent treats, light snacks, or even savory dishes.
1. Coconut Macaroons: These chewy, coconut-packed treats pair beautifully with the coconut notes in the Frost. Their rich texture balances out the icy drink for a satisfying combo.
2. Fruit Tarts: Bright, tangy tarts filled with fresh berries (blueberries or raspberries) complement the tropical sweetness of the 7 Brew Brew Frost, adding a splash of freshness to every sip and bite.
3. Vanilla Cupcakes: Pair the Frost with light vanilla cupcakes topped with frosting—it’s a match made in heaven. Add blue raspberry drizzle to the frosting for a perfect color and flavor pairing.
4. Sugar Cookies with Sprinkles: Simple yet festive, sugar cookies, especially ones with colorful sprinkles, mirror the playful vibes of the drink itself.
5. Sorbet or Gelato: Serve a scoop of raspberry or coconut sorbet alongside the Frost for a dessert duo that’s both refreshing and indulgent.
Ingredients Substitutes
If you’re eager to enjoy a homemade 7 Brew Brew Frost but don’t have specific ingredients on hand—or would like healthier, allergy-safe, or customizable options—this guide has you covered.
Substitutes for Blue Raspberry Syrup
The vibrant, sweet blueberry-like flavor of blue raspberry is a key ingredient, but it can be substituted or replicated in different ways:
1. DIY Blue Raspberry Syrup: Combine blueberry juice (or fresh blueberries) and raspberry juice in a saucepan with sugar and water. Bring to a boil and simmer until it thickens into a syrup. Cool before use.
2. Berry-Flavored Jams or Preserves: Use raspberry or mixed berry jam/preserves diluted with water to mimic the syrup’s sweetness. Blend and strain if needed for a smoother consistency.
3. Fresh Berries: Blend fresh blueberries and raspberries into the drink for natural flavor and color. Add a little honey or agave syrup for sweetness.
4. Fruit Punch or Kool-Aid Mix: If you’re out of syrup, powdered drink mixes (like Kool-Aid in blue raspberry or fruit punch flavors) can act as an easy alternative for vivid flavor and color.
Substitutes for Coconut Syrup
The tropical twist of coconut is essential for the Brew Frost’s distinct taste, but here are a few swaps depending on what’s available:
1. Coconut Milk or Coconut Cream: Replace coconut syrup with coconut milk for a creamy texture or coconut cream for a richer flavor. Use sweetened varieties for closer replication.
2. Coconut Extract: Mix a few drops of coconut extract into sugar water or simple syrup as an easy substitute.
3. Shredded Coconut (Blended): Blend shredded coconut with water and sugar to create your own coconut concentrate. Strain if needed for a smoother texture.
4. Almond or Vanilla Milk: For a nutty-sweet alternative to coconut milk, use almond or vanilla plant-based milk to give the Frost a creamy, tropical vibe.
Substitutes for Vanilla Syrup
Vanilla adds depth to the Brew Frost’s flavor profile. If you don’t have vanilla syrup, here are some easy alternatives:
1. Homemade Vanilla Syrup: Combine sugar, water, and vanilla extract to make your own simple syrup. Simmer until combined and cool before using.
2. Vanilla Extract: Add a few drops of pure vanilla extract directly to your Frost blend. Sweeten with honey, agave, or sugar to emulate the syrup effect.
3. Vanilla-Flavored Plant-Based Milk: Unsweetened vanilla almond milk or soy milk can substitute both vanilla syrup and coconut syrup for a lighter yet flavorful alternative.
4. Maple Syrup: While not identical, the natural sweetness of maple syrup can complement the drink’s tropical undertones for a syrupy substitute.
Substitutes for Soda Water or Lemon-Lime Soda
The fizzy base of soda water or lemon-lime soda adds a refreshing, bubbly kick to the Frost. Here’s how to substitute it:
1. Sparkling Water: For a lighter option without added sugar, use unflavored or berry-flavored sparkling water.
2. Ginger Ale: Ginger ale can add sweetness and carbonation in place of lemon-lime soda. It might slightly alter the flavor but will still pair well with the tropical vibe.
3. Club Soda & Sweetener: Combine club soda with a touch of agave syrup or simple syrup for a low-calorie alternative to sugary sodas.
4. Flat Water (Plain or Infused): While it skips the fizz, flat water infused with fruit (like raspberry, blueberry, or coconut slices) can serve as a hydrating substitute.
Substitutes for Whipped Cream or Sweet Cream (Optional Toppings)
Sweet cream or whipped cream is often used to elevate the Frost’s richness. Here are healthy and creative alternatives:
1. Greek Yogurt or Coconut Yogurt: Coconut yogurt can play up the tropical flavors, while Greek yogurt adds creaminess with a slight tang. Sweeten with honey if needed.
2. Plant-Based Whipped Cream: Use coconut-based whipped cream or almond-based whipped cream for dairy-free alternatives.
3. Heavy Cream (DIY Sweet Cream): Mix heavy cream with sugar and a touch of vanilla extract to make homemade sweet cream. Use plant-based versions like oat or cashew cream for non-dairy substitutes.
4. Marshmallow Fluff: For a unique twist, marshmallow fluff can be used as a topping instead of whipped cream for a fun, ultra-sweet addition.
Substitutes for Ice
While ice is critical for the Frost’s slushy texture, here’s how you can experiment if you want a twist:
1. Frozen Fruit: Replace ice with frozen blueberries, raspberries, or coconut chunks to enhance flavor and texture.
2. Popsicles: Blend fruity popsicles (like blue raspberry or coconut) directly into the drink to replicate the icy texture while adding sweetness.
3. Frozen Yogurt or Ice Cream: For dessert-like Frosts, use vanilla, coconut, or berry-flavored frozen yogurt (or ice cream) to replace ice and enhance creaminess.
Substitutes for Sweeteners
If you’re watching sugar intake or need alternatives, here are sweet substitutes to adjust the Frost’s sweetness:
1. Honey or Agave Nectar: Both are natural sweeteners that dissolve easily into the drink.
2. Stevia or Monk Fruit Extract: For sugar-free options, sprinkle a bit of stevia or monk fruit extract into the mix.
3. Maple Syrup: A slightly earthy flavor comes with using maple syrup, but it’s still an effective sweetener substitute.
4. Fruits: Blend fresh or frozen fruits like pineapple or banana to sweeten the drink naturally.

Sip your homemade 7 Brew Brew Frost and watch as friends and family fall in love with its tropical, sweet, and refreshing flavors.
