Ingredients for the 7 Brew Pixie Stick Recipe
Here is everything you need for this 7 Brew Pixie Stick 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Energy drink | 1 can (8.4 to 12 oz) | Sugar-free works well |
| Almond syrup | 1/4 oz (1/2 tbsp) | The secret candy note |
| Orange syrup | 1/2 oz (1 tbsp) | Bright citrus |
| Pomegranate syrup | 1/2 oz (1 tbsp) | Tart red fruit |
| Ice | 1 to 1 1/2 cups | Crushed or nugget ice works best |
Tip: Do not skip the almond syrup. It is what makes the drink taste like candy instead of plain fruit punch.
Method
How to Make a 7 Brew Pixie Stick at Home
Energy drinks are the easiest 7 Brew drinks to copy. Put the syrups in first so they mix with the bubbles. Then add ice and pour the cold energy drink slowly. A gentle stir keeps it fizzy. You will be done in about five minutes.
1. Add the syrups
Pour the almond syrup, orange syrup and pomegranate syrup into a tall 16 oz cup.
2. Fill with ice
Add about 1 1/2 cups of crushed or nugget ice.
3. Pour the energy drink
Slowly add a cold energy drink so it does not fizz over.
4. Stir and enjoy
Stir gently and drink right away while it is cold.
If the drink is too tart, add a little more almond syrup. If it is too sweet, add more energy drink or a splash of sparkling water. Crushed ice makes it taste more like a slushie. For a creamy twist, add two tablespoons of half-and-half. That makes a pastel orange drink kids love to look at.
Avoid these
Common Mistakes When Making a Pixie Stick
- Too much syrup: start small, because you can always add more.
- Warm ingredients: they melt the ice and water the drink down.
- Skipping the stir: syrup sinks, so the last sips taste too sweet.
- Wrong cup size: a 16 oz cup keeps the flavor balance right.

Check the label on your can, because some have much more than others. For a caffeine-free version, use sparkling water instead. See our 7 Brew caffeine free drinks list for more ideas.
