The Seven and Seven is a great vintage co*cktail that I’d like to show you. It’s just 7UP and Seagram’s 7 Crown Whiskey, and it tastes great. I adore preparing it since it is invigorating, simple, and certain to delight any number of people. The Seven and Seven is the place to go whether you’re seeking a quick and great drink or just want to hang out with pals.
Tasting Notes
The Seven and Seven is a perfect balance of sweet and fizzy. You’ll taste the smooth, slightly oaky flavor of the whiskey mixed with the crisp, lemon-lime sweetness of 7UP. It’s a light and refreshing drink that’s not too strong, making it great for sipping on a warm day.
Equipment and Glassware
You’ll only need a few simple things to make this drink: a glass and a spoon or stirrer. Serve it in a highball glass, which is tall and straight-sided, ideal for mixed drinks like this.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Seagram’s 7 Crown Whiskey
- 6 ounces 7UP
- Lemon or lime wedge for garnish
Instructions
- Fill the highball glass with ice cubes.
- Pour the Seagram’s 7 Crown Whiskey over the ice.
- Top with 7UP.
- Gently stir to mix.
- Garnish with a lemon or lime wedge.
Pro Tips
- Make sure both the whiskey and 7UP are chilled for a refreshing drink.
- Adjust the whiskey or 7UP according to your taste. Add more whiskey if you like it stronger or more 7UP for a sweeter, lighter drink.
When to Serve
The Seven and Seven is perfect for any casual occasion. It’s great for BBQs, parties, or just relaxing at home. It’s a versatile drink that fits any season but is especially nice during the summer months.
Which Liquor Brands to Choose
While Seagram’s 7 Crown Whiskey is the traditional choice for a Seven and Seven, you can also experiment with other American whiskeys if you like. The key is to find a whiskey you enjoy that also mixes well with the bubbly sweetness of 7UP.
