How to make 7 Brew Fizz

A 7 Brew Fizz is a customizable, non‑caffeinated sparkling water drink from the 7 Brew drive‑thru chain. You pick a base of sparkling (seltzer) water, then infuse it with any flavor syrup of your choice—fruit, dessert-style, sugar-free options—the calories vary based on syrup.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients:

• Sparkling water or soda water: This is what gives your fizz drink its signature effervescence. Use plain sparkling water or opt for flavored ones to add an extra dimension.

Flavor Options:

• Flavored syrups: Choose your favorite flavor(s) like strawberry, peach, raspberry, coconut, or even classic lime. You can explore sugar-free syrups if you’re looking for healthier alternatives.
• Fresh fruit or juice (optional): For an extra burst of freshness, you can incorporate muddled fruit like berries or citrus juice.

Creamy Add-ons (Optional):

• Heavy cream or half-and-half: If you want a creamy twist to your fizz, this will give it a richer texture.
• Whipped cream: A topping that adds indulgence and flair.

Ice and Garnishing:

• Ice cubes: Helps keep your drink cool and refreshing.
• Garnishes (optional): Add a touch of flair with lime wedges, mint leaves, or fruit slices.

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to craft your own 7 Brew Fizz:

1. Prepare Your Fizz Base: Fill your glass about ½ to ¾ full with sparkling water or soda water. Adjust the amount depending on how fizzy you want your drink to be.
2. Add Your Syrups: Choose 1-2 flavored syrups and pour them into your sparkling water. Start small (1-2 tablespoons per flavor) and adjust based on your taste preferences. If you’re combining flavors, mix gently to avoid losing the bubbles.
3. Add Fresh Fruit or Juice: If you’re using fresh fruit or juice, muddle the fruit at the bottom of the glass before adding the sparkling water. For juices like orange or pineapple, add about 2 tablespoons to complement your syrups.
4. Make It Creamy (Optional): If you want a creamy texture, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of heavy cream or half-and-half after adding your syrup. The fizz will create a fun, frothy effect.
5. Add Ice: Top the drink with ice cubes to chill it down. Crushed ice works particularly well for a smoother, blended feel.
6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fruit slices, mint leaves, or whipped cream. Serve with a straw for an authentic 7 Brew vibe!

Tips for Success

• Experiment with Flavor Combinations: Some popular combos include coconut + lime, raspberry + peach, or strawberry + vanilla. Don’t be afraid to mix and match!
• Control Sweetness: If you’re looking to cut back on sugar, try using sugar-free syrups or adjust the amount accordingly. Fresh juice can also help balance sweetness if you prefer a more natural taste.
• Chill Your Ingredients: Keep your sparkling water and syrups chilled before starting. This will ensure your fizz stays icy cold and extra refreshing.
• Make It a Party Drink: Serve 7 Brew Fizz in colorful glasses or jars, adding decorative garnishes for a fun and vibrant presentation.
• Batch-Up for Groups: Hosting friends or family? Prepare a large pitcher version by mixing sparkling water, syrups, juice, and ice together, and allow everyone to customize their toppings.

Ingredient Substitutes

The 7 Brew Fizz is a popular and refreshing beverage that has gained attention for its fizzy, fruity, and customizable flavor profile. Not everyone may have access to the exact ingredients, so finding suitable substitutes allows you to create your version without compromising on taste or quality.

Sparkling Water (Soda or Seltzer)

Provides carbonation and serves as the base for the drink.

Substitutes:

• Club soda: Similar fizz and neutral flavor.
• Tonic water: Adds carbonation and a slightly more bitter profile.
• Flavored carbonated water: If flavored options are available, such as LaCroix or Bubly, use one that complements the flavors you’re adding.
• Lemon-lime soda: For a sweeter fizz, you can opt for Sprite or 7-Up.

Flavor Syrups (Fruit-Based)

Used to create the fruity and sweet profile. Popular flavors include blue raspberry, strawberry, and tropical mixes.

Substitutes:

• Homemade syrups: Combine sugar, water, and pureed fruit to make a DIY fruit syrup. Simmer and strain before use.
• Store-bought syrups: Brands like Torani or Monin offer a wide variety of flavor syrups that can mimic the original.
• Fruit concentrates: Dilute fruit concentrates like Kool-Aid or Ocean Spray to achieve the desired flavor strength.
• Honey or agave syrup with a splash of fruit juice: Adds sweetness and light fruity notes.

Fresh Fruit Add-Ins

Often used for garnish or to enhance the drink’s flavor naturally (e.g., lemons, berries, oranges).

Substitutes:

If fresh fruit isn’t available, use frozen fruit. Thawed fruit works well and may add more juice.

• Dried fruit: Rehydrate dried pineapple, apricots, or cherries to add bursts of flavor.
• Fruit preserves or jam: Stir in a small amount for a concentrated fruity taste.

Ice

Serves as a cooling agent and often contributes to the drink’s aesthetically pleasing layers.

Substitutes:

• Crushed ice or reusable ice cubes (if you want to avoid dilution).
• Frozen fruit chunks: These can substitute for ice cubes while adding additional flavor.

Fizz Enhancer (Optional)

Sometimes, additional carbonation or acid is added for extra punch, such as citrus juices.

Substitutes:

• Citrus juices, such as lemon, lime, or orange juice, can mimic the acidity and brightness of these fruits.
• Citric acid: Add a pinch of citric acid to boost the tanginess.
• Vinegar splash (e.g., apple cider vinegar): Adds an acidic zing that pairs well with fruit flavors.

Cream or Dairy Additives (Optional)

Some variants of a 7 Brew Fizz include cream for a richer texture.

Substitutes:

• Plant-based milk: Coconut milk or almond milk for dairy-free options.
• Half-and-half: For a creamy finish.
• Sweetened condensed milk: Diluted slightly with water for extra sweetness.

Final Thoughts

The 7 Brew Fizz is a versatile and customizable drink that pairs beautifully with a wide range of snacks and dishes.
