Though Jack and Coke, the tasty mixture of Jack Daniels and Coca-Cola, is the king of the highball game, you may want to swap it with a 7 and 7 for a vibe that’s a bit more retro.
A 7 and 7 is made of Seagram’s 7 Crown Whiskey and 7 Up soda. With the fresh citrus flavors of 7 Up and the warmth of whiskey, it’s ideal for transitioning from winter into spring.
While a Jack and Coke blends the whiskey’s vanilla notes with the Coke’s caramel notes, a 7 and 7 brightens the vanilla notes of the whiskey, making it sweeter and more refreshing.
Though Jack and Coke and 7 and 7 both have roots in the Prohibition era, the former became a universal classic, whereas the latter has taken on more of a retro flare.
