The Seven and Seven is the epitome of an American highball: whisky meets lemon-lime soda, and there you have a light, lively longdrink. It is about as simple to mix as it gets and has been one of the classics of US bar culture for decades. Ideal for relaxed evenings when things need to go quickly.
Instructions
- Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.
- Pour the whisky over the ice.
- Top up with the lemon-lime soda.
- Stir once briefly with a bar spoon.
- Garnish with a lime wedge and serve.
Garnish: Lime wedge
Pro tip: Pour the whisky over the ice first and add the soda slowly only at the end - this way the carbonation lasts longer.

Can I use a different whisky?
Yes, any mild blended whisky works well, as the soda rounds off the flavor and makes it a little sweeter anyway.
