What to make with bourbon and 7 Up

You can use Maker’s Mark with a lemon lime mixer by leaning into a tall, fizzy bourbon highball style drink, and the closest match from our recommended list is Pucker Up.

Pucker Up is built around bourbon lengthened with bubbles, then sharpened with lime, bitters, and a touch of sweetness. If you like the easy, refreshing vibe of bourbon and 7 Up, this is a natural step up because it keeps the drink long and bright, but adds more balance and flavour.

If you are open to branching out beyond 7 Up, these other picks also suit Maker’s Mark well:

Kentucky Mule: bourbon with ginger beer and lime for a similarly tall, lively drink with more spice.
Vanilla and Fresh Cherry Bourbon: a lighter, soda topped option with fruit and vanilla notes.
Maker’s Manhattan Up: if you would rather go short and spirit forward, this two ingredient bourbon and red vermouth serve is the cleanest, simplest choice.

If you want something closest to what you have in hand, start with Pucker Up and keep it cold and well stirred for a crisp finish.
