Getting up and out the door in the morning just got easier thanks to 7-Eleven's cold brew iced coffee, which is available at a discounted price for a limited time.

According to the chain, this particular offering is "slow steeped for several hours" and then chilled to ensure it achieves a rich flavor. Cold brew is often sweeter than a regular pot of coffee, but 7-Eleven is allowing for consumers to make the beverage as sweet as they want by customizing the drink to feature a choice of syrups, creamers and toppings.

To promote the newly introduced beverage, the brand is offering a 16-ounce cup for the low price of 99 cents, making it easy to experiment with a new drink.
