7-Eleven's Limited Hot Beverages Provide a Vacation for the Senses

— August 14, 2021 — Lifestyle
There are two new limited hot beverages that are being introduced to 7-Eleven just for a limited time and they promise to provide "a mini-vacation for customers’ taste buds." There's the coconut coffee and the s'mores hot cocoa, which share favorite summer flavors in new forms.

While the coconut coffee helps to bring a taste of the tropics to convenience stores with 100% Arabica beans and toasty notes, the decadent s'mores hot cocoa blends a rich base of hot chocolate with sweet vanilla, marshmallow and golden graham flavors.

With these two drinks, 7-Eleven recognizes that "many Americans are hoping to squeeze in a last-minute, well-deserved vacation after a year spent close to home," and these beverages help to support small trips and staycations alike without needing to go very far for a sense of escape.
