Copycat 7 Brew Love Potion Recipe

1

With its blend of kiwi, passion fruit, and strawberry flavors, the 7 Brew Love Potion feels like a warm hug on a summer day or a sweet pick-me-up just when you need it most. But what if I told you that you don’t have to head to your nearest 7 Brew location every time you crave this delightful drink?

How to make 7 Brew Love Potion

7 Brew Love Potion is a sweet, dessert-style specialty drink from the 7 Brew Coffee menu. It’s popular around Valentine’s season, but many locations serve it year-round because people love it.

Ingredients

• Kiwi Syrup
• Passion Fruit Syrup
• Strawberry Syrup
• Energy Base
• Ice
• Add fresh strawberry slices, kiwi slices, or even a wedge of lime for a finished look.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Base: Fill a large cup or shaker with ice to keep the drink chilled.
2. Mix the Flavors: Combine 1–2 pumps of kiwi syrup, 1–2 pumps of passion fruit syrup, and 1–2 pumps of strawberry syrup in the cup. Adjust the syrup amounts to suit your sweetness preferences.
3. Add Energy Base: Pour your favorite energy drink into the cup, filling it about ¾ full. Stir gently to blend the flavors evenly.
4. Top Off and Garnish: For extra pizzazz, top the drink with fresh fruit slices (kiwi or strawberries work great) or a wedge of citrus for added zing.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Pour the drink into your favorite chilled glass and savor the perfectly balanced fruity flavors with every sip!

Tips for the Perfect Love Potion

• Experiment with Sweetness Levels: Everyone has a different preference for sweetness. Start with fewer pumps of syrup, and adjust accordingly.
• Chill Your Energy Drink: A cold energy drink enhances refreshment. Pop it in the fridge before use.
• Use Quality Ingredients: High-quality syrups (like Monin or Torani) will give you the richness of flavor that Love Potion is known for.
• Layer for Visual Appeal: If you’d like to take it up a notch visually, pour your syrups into the glass first, then add the ice and energy drink to create a layered, Instagram-worthy appearance.
• Serve Fresh: Love Potion is best served fresh over ice to maintain its cool and refreshing vibe.

What to serve with

Pairing the delightful and fruity 7 Brew Love Potion with the right foods can elevate your tasting experience, whether you’re lounging at home, hosting friends, or planning a special event.

• Fruit Tartlets: Mini tartlets filled with fresh fruits like strawberries, kiwis, and passion fruit mirror the drink’s flavors perfectly. The crisp pastry and creamy filling contrast nicely with the fruity, fizzy beverage.
• Lemon Bars: The zesty citrus of lemon bars pairs well with the sweetness of the Love Potion, adding a tart and tangy counterbalance.
• Chocolate-Covered Strawberries: These decadent treats blend the freshness of strawberries with rich chocolate, complementing the strawberry notes in the drink.
• Macarons: Light and chewy macarons with fruit fillings can enhance the fruitiness of the beverage, especially if you choose flavors like raspberry, strawberry, or passion fruit.

Ingredients Substitutes

Making 7 Brew Love Potion at home is exciting, but you may not always have access to the exact ingredients listed in the original recipe. Not to worry — ingredient substitutes can maintain the drink’s flavor profile while allowing you to personalize the recipe or simply use what you have on hand.

1. Kiwi Syrup Substitutes

Kiwi syrup gives the drink a tropical, slightly tart sweetness. If kiwi syrup isn’t available, try these alternatives:

• Kiwi Juice: Fresh kiwi juice (made by blending kiwis and straining the pulp) provides a natural alternative. You may need to add a touch of sugar or honey to sweeten it.
• Green Apple Syrup: Green apple syrup offers similar tartness and bright fruity flavor that matches the tropical vibe of the drink.
• Lime Syrup: Lime syrup or lime juice works in a pinch for a citrusy kick with mild tartness to mimic kiwi.

2. Passion Fruit Syrup Substitutes

Passion fruit syrup contributes bold, tangy sweetness to the Love Potion. Here’s what you can use instead:

• Passion Fruit Juice or Puree: Fresh passion fruit juice or chunky puree can substitute syrup while providing authentic flavor. Add sugar for sweetness if needed.
• Pineapple Syrup: Pineapple syrup brings tropical sweetness and acidity similar to passion fruit.
• Mango Syrup: Mango syrup offers another tropical fruit flavor that blends well with kiwi and strawberry.

3. Strawberry Syrup Substitutes

Strawberry syrup lends a familiar berry flavor and slight tartness to balance the drink. If you’re out of strawberry syrup, consider:

• Fresh Strawberry Puree: Blend fresh strawberries and sweeten them with sugar or honey to replicate the syrup’s flavor.
• Raspberry Syrup or Puree: Raspberry substitutes provide similar berry sweetness with a touch of tanginess.
• Cherry Syrup: While slightly richer in flavor, cherry syrup adds a fruitiness close to strawberry notes.

4. Energy Base Substitutes

The energy base in 7 Brew’s drinks is typically an energy drink like Red Bull. If you’d prefer to swap this out with other options, try these:

• Sugar-Free Energy Drinks: Opt for a sugar-free version to reduce calorie content while maintaining the “energy boost.”
• Natural Energy Boosters: Coconut water with a dash of lime juice or matcha tea adds natural energy with a refreshing, tropical vibe.
• Club Soda with Sweetened Syrups: For a non-caffeinated option, use carbonated club soda and a bit more syrup for flavor.

Final Thoughts

Making your own 7 Brew Love Potion at home is a fun way to enjoy one of 7 Brew’s most beloved drinks while adding a personal touch. Play around with the ingredients, and don’t hesitate to tweak the recipe for your taste preferences.
