Scooter’s Coffee is honoring veterans with free drinks. How to get a free coffee

Veterans Day is around the corner, and some North Texas restaurants are finding ways to give back, one cup at a time.

Scooter’s Coffee is honoring veterans and active-duty military members on Tuesday, Nov. 11 with a free medium drink.

The deal applies to everything on the menu, from classic lattes and smoothies to items from the holiday lineup inspired by the movie “Elf.”

Here’s what to know before you go.

How to claim your free drink at Scooter’s Coffee

The Nebraska-based coffee chain says anyone with a valid military ID can stop by participating locations for one free drink of their choice.

The offer is available for veterans and active-duty military members only. It’s an in-store deal, meaning mobile and app orders don’t qualify.

Each person is limited to one free drink on Nov. 11.
