What Is in a 7 Brew Snickerdoodle Mocha?
Quick answer: The 7 Brew Snickerdoodle Mocha is a mocha made with espresso, milk, chocolate, brown sugar cinnamon and vanilla. It is on the 7 Classics menu.
A snickerdoodle is a soft cookie rolled in cinnamon sugar. The 7 Brew Snickerdoodle Mocha copies that taste with brown sugar cinnamon syrup and vanilla. The chocolate base makes it richer than a plain cinnamon latte. It is a favorite in fall, but you can order it any time of year. A Large has about 240 to 357 mg of caffeine.
This drink is a good middle ground between a latte and a dessert. The cinnamon keeps it from tasting too sweet. Brown sugar cinnamon syrup is easy to find, or you can make it at home in a few minutes. Try it hot on a cold morning for the full cookie feel. It is also great iced on a warm fall afternoon.

Ingredients for the 7 Brew Snickerdoodle Mocha Recipe
Here is everything you need for this 7 Brew Snickerdoodle Mocha recipe. It makes one 16-ounce drink, which is close to a 7 Brew Small. Use coffee-shop style syrups and sauces, the same kind sold for lattes and Italian sodas. A pump from a store syrup bottle is about 1/4 ounce, and a tablespoon is about 1/2 ounce. Change the amounts after your first try to match your taste.
| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Espresso | 2 shots (2 oz) | Or 1/2 cup strong coffee |
| Chocolate sauce | 1/2 oz (1 tbsp) | Milk chocolate works best |
| Brown sugar cinnamon syrup | 1/2 oz (1 tbsp) | The cookie spice |
| Vanilla syrup | 1/4 oz (1/2 tbsp) | Adds a soft, sweet note |
| Milk | 3/4 cup (6 oz) | 2% or whole milk |
| Ice | 1 to 1 1/2 cups | Crushed or nugget ice works best |
Tip: Sprinkle a mix of cinnamon and sugar on top of the whipped cream. It looks and tastes just like a snickerdoodle cookie.
Step by step
How to Make a 7 Brew Snickerdoodle Mocha at Home
Coffee drinks at 7 Brew follow the same simple order. The flavors melt into hot espresso first, then the milk and ice go in. This keeps thick sauces from sinking to the bottom. Stir well before you taste it. The whole drink takes about five minutes.
- Brew the espresso: Pull 2 shots of espresso or pour 1/2 cup of strong hot coffee into a cup.
- Stir in the flavors: Add the chocolate sauce, brown sugar cinnamon syrup and vanilla syrup and stir until smooth.
- Add ice and milk: Fill a 16 oz cup with ice, pour in the coffee, then add the milk.
- Finish it: Stir again and top with whipped cream or a drizzle if you like.
If the drink tastes too spicy, use less cinnamon syrup and more vanilla. If you want more cookie taste, add a pinch of ground cinnamon to the espresso. A hot version works best with foamy milk. Pour the milk slowly so the foam sits on top. Then add the cinnamon sugar.
