Quick answer
What Is in a 7 Brew Cinnamon Roll?
Quick answer: The 7 Brew Cinnamon Roll is a breve made with espresso, half-and-half, brown sugar cinnamon and white chocolate. It is one of the seven house drinks on the 7 Originals menu.
The Cinnamon Roll is a fan favorite, especially in fall and winter. Brown sugar cinnamon gives it the warm, spiced flavor of a fresh pastry. White chocolate adds the sweet, creamy taste of frosting. Half-and-half makes it rich and smooth, like all 7 Brew breves. A Large iced Cinnamon Roll has about 580 calories and about 240 mg of caffeine.
This 7 Brew Cinnamon Roll recipe is easy because the drink only uses two flavors. Brown sugar cinnamon syrup is sold by most coffee syrup brands. If you cannot find it, you can make a quick version with brown sugar, water and cinnamon. White chocolate sauce is easy to find at grocery stores. Our recipe makes one 16-ounce iced drink, close to a 7 Brew Small.

Steps
How to Make a 7 Brew Cinnamon Roll at Home
These 7 Brew Cinnamon Roll recipe steps take about five minutes. Stir the flavors into the hot espresso first so the white chocolate melts. Then add the ice and cold half-and-half. A final dash of cinnamon on top gives it the bakery smell. Follow the steps below for the best result.
1. Brew the espresso
Pull 2 shots of espresso or pour 1/2 cup of strong hot coffee into a cup.
2. Melt in the flavors
Stir in the brown sugar cinnamon syrup and white chocolate sauce until smooth.
3. Add ice and half-and-half
Fill a 16 oz cup with ice, add the coffee mix, then pour in the half-and-half.
4. Top it off
Add whipped cream and a light dash of cinnamon.
If the drink tastes too sweet, use less white chocolate next time. If you want more spice, add a pinch of ground cinnamon to the espresso. For a hot drink, warm the half-and-half and skip the ice. The hot version is perfect for cold mornings and holiday breakfasts. It pairs well with a real cinnamon roll or a muffin.
