Cocktail Colin says:
The Seven and Seven is a nostalgic delight, where the smooth warmth of Seagram's 7 Crown whiskey beautifully marries the citrusy sparkle of 7-Up soda. This no-fuss highball is perfect for those who enjoy a balanced and refreshingly simple drink with a touch of vintage charm.

tried it, but only had bourbon, not the whiskey it suggested. used Sprite instead of the lemon-lime soda. turned out great! Simple and refreshing. Just had to adjust a bit, but still a thumbs up. 🍹
It's better than I expected. Not a huge fan of cocktails as I usually find them too sweet. But this one is simple and refreshing. The whiskey taste comes through just enough. I might even make it again!
