Notes
Substitutes:
- Seagram's 7 Crown Whiskey: Any other whiskey will do if you don't have this specific brand. I've used Jack Daniel's and Jameson, and both worked well. The flavor profile will change slightly depending on your whiskey, but it'll still be tasty.
- 7-Up: Sprite is a good alternative if you don't have 7-Up. It has a similar lemon-lime flavor profile. You could also use ginger ale for a different twist.
Making a Pitcher of Seven and Seven:
- Scale: To make a pitcher that serves 8, multiply all the ingredients by 8. That would be 16 oz of whiskey and 48 oz of 7-Up.
- Mix: In a large pitcher, combine the whiskey and 7-Up. Stir well.
- Serve: Pour the mixture into ice-filled highball glasses, garnish with a lemon slice or twist, and serve immediately.
Making it Non-Alcoholic:
- Whiskey Substitute: Use a non-alcoholic whiskey substitute; several brands are available that mimic the flavor of whiskey quite well.
- Proceed As Usual: Use these non-alcoholic substitutes instead of the regular ingredients, follow the original steps, and enjoy a non-alcoholic version.
Making it Vegan:
Good news for vegans - this cocktail is already vegan-friendly! Both Seagram's 7 Crown Whiskey and 7-Up are vegan.What is a Seven and Seven?

- Lemon slice (optional): Some people like to garnish their Seven and Seven with a slice of lemon. It adds a touch of tartness and makes the drink look more appealing.
