Iced vs frozen in summer
Most drinks at 7 Brew can be ordered iced or frozen:
- Iced drinks are lighter and more refreshing, and the flavor stays bright.
- Frozen drinks are thick and slushy, which is great on very hot days, but they melt faster in the sun.

Tips for summer orders
- Ask for light ice if you want more drink, or extra ice if you want it to stay cold longer.
- Drink frozen drinks first if you order a mix, since they melt quickly.
- Use a cup holder sleeve or koozie to stop drips in the car.
- Stay hydrated. Energy and coffee drinks are not a substitute for water on hot days.
- Try a new flavor. Summer is a great time to experiment with fruity combos.
