The Triple Citrus Discovery That Created a Secret Menu Legend
The Heatwave emerged when a 7 Brew customer in Arizona challenged their Brewista to create the most intense citrus drink possible during a particularly hot summer. The Brewista experimented with layering orange, lime, and lemon concentrate over the 7 Energy base, creating what they initially called ‘Citrus Overload.’ Word spread quickly through social media as customers shared photos of the vibrant drink that perfectly matched the desert heat. The name evolved to Heatwave as more locations began making their own versions, with each Brewista adding their personal touch to the citrus ratios. Today, the Heatwave represents the perfect balance of intensity and refreshment that made it a year-round favorite across all 7 Brew locations.
