The recipe

How to make it

  1. 1Fill a highball with ice.
  2. 2Pour in the whiskey and 7 Up and stir gently.

Garnish: A lime slice.

Variations: Difford’s uses less soda, 3½ oz to 1½ oz of whiskey, with a lemon wedge.

Seagram’s 7 Crown is a light American blended whiskey; another blended or Canadian whisky makes much the same drink, and Sprite can stand in for 7 Up.

  • Alabama Slammer — Amaretto, Southern Comfort and sloe gin stirred over ice with a splash of lemon: sweet, fruity and nutty, a college-bar favorite.
  • Bloody Mary — Vodka, tomato and lemon, seasoned to taste with Worcestershire, Tabasco, celery salt and pepper. Savory and spicy.
  • Blue Lagoon — Vodka, blue curaçao and lime topped with lemon-lime soda: electric blue, sweet-tart and fizzy.
  • Cuba Libre — Rum and cola with lime, which is the difference between this and a plain rum and Coke.
  • Dark ’n’ Stormy — Ginger beer with dark rum floated on top. Spicy, sweet and moody.
