The new drink combines a sweet and creamy coffee latte with notes of ginger, honey, allspice, and molasses. To encourage customers to try the new drink, 7Rewards members can enjoy any size hot beverage, including the new Gingerbread Latte, for just $1 at participating 7-Eleven locations nationwide.
