What Is a 7 and 7 Drink?

While the 7 and 7 has been around since the late 1800s, it peaked in popularity in the 1970s.

People enjoyed the simple taste and that they would get the same drink no matter where they ordered it.

Plus, it was a budget-friendly spirit even dive bars could afford.

The smooth, vanilla notes of the blended whiskey pair perfectly with the sweetness in the soda.

Of course, you can use other brands. But then, is it still a 7 & 7?

What is Seagram’s 7?

Seagram’s Seven Crown Whiskey earned its name from the seven types of whiskey blended into their signature concoction.

Unlike dark whiskies, Seagram’s 7 is surprisingly light and refreshing. It carries subtle notes of vanilla and caramel notes with a kiss of fruitiness.

While it may not be ideal for drinking straight-up, it’s an affordable option for whiskey co*cktails.

Ingredients

You don’t need a well-stocked liquor cabinet to whip up this 2-ingredient co*cktail.

Here’s a very short list of ingredients you need to get the party started:

• Seagram’s 7 Crown Whiskey. There’s no replacement for the flavor of Seagram’s 7. Don’t worry, it’s widely available at most liquor stores, and it’s super affordable.

• 7-Up. It is called a Seven and Seven, after all. But you can use whatever lemon-lime soda you prefer (like Sprite).

• Ice. As with all bubbly soda co*cktails, a Seven and Seven is best served over ice.

• Lemon wedge. If you want to get fancy, you can add a lemon wedge for garnish.
