7 Brew Pixie Stick: Flavor, Recipe, Price 2026

The Pixie Stick is one of 7 Brew’s best-known secret menu drinks: a 7 Energy built with pomegranate, orange, and almond syrups, designed to taste like the Pixy Stix candy powder a lot of us grew up on. It is tart, fizzy, and bright pink-orange, and it has a loyal following among energy drink fans who do not want coffee. This post covers the recipe, what it tastes like, prices, calories, and caffeine, plus how to order it, including the caffeine-free version. This is a fan-run site, not affiliated with 7 Brew. Prices and nutrition below are estimates that vary by location.

What It Tastes Like

Start with the candy, because that is the whole idea. The carbonation hits first, fine bubbles from the energy base that feel smoother than a canned energy drink. Orange comes through right away, sweet and familiar, the most approachable of the three flavors. Then the pomegranate shows up with a deeper tartness, a sharp zing that cuts the sweetness and gives the drink its sour-candy edge. The almond syrup never tastes nutty. It works more like a sweetener that rounds everything out and keeps the tartness from going harsh, the quiet bridge between the sharp pomegranate and the sweet orange. The finish is clean and fruity, with no heavy syrup film on the tongue. The color is half the fun: pomegranate and orange turn the cup a vivid pink-orange that looks almost neon over ice. If you like sour candy, this is your drink. If you prefer mellow flavors, the tartness might be a lot, so try it half-sweet first.

Prices, Calories, and Caffeine (Estimates)

• Small: $6.83, 180-200 cal (15-25 sugar-free), 100-170mg caffeine.
• Medium: $8.13, 260-350 cal (25-40 sugar-free), 140-250mg caffeine.

The sugar-free version uses a sugar-free energy base and sugar-free syrups.

How to Order It

The name is widely known, but not every barista will recognize it, so order by ingredients when in doubt:

• Regular: “Medium 7 Energy with pomegranate, orange, and almond syrup.”
• Sugar-free: “Medium sugar-free Pixie Stick.”
• Caffeine-free: “Medium Pixie Stick Fizz” (same flavors on the sparkling water base).
• Less sweet: “Medium Pixie Stick, half-sweet.”
• Frozen: “Medium blended Pixie Stick.”

Allergen note: the almond syrup is derived from tree nuts. It does not taste nutty, but anyone with a tree nut allergy should avoid this drink.

Conclusion

The Pixie Stick works because the flavors each do a job: orange for sweetness, pomegranate for tart zing, almond for smoothness, all lifted by carbonation. Start with a medium at regular sweetness to learn the baseline, then experiment: sugar-free, fizz, half-sweet, or blended. For the full energy lineup, see the Seven Energy page.
