7-Up

What it is

7-Up is a lemon-lime flavored soft drink that has been a popular mixer in cocktails and a refreshing beverage on its own since its introduction in the 1920s. Its crisp, clean taste makes it a versatile ingredient in various cocktails, adding a fizzy and sweet citrus note that can balance out stronger spirits. Bartenders often use 7-Up to lighten up cocktails or to add a refreshing twist to classic recipes.

How it is made

7-Up is made from carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, natural flavors, and potassium benzoate as a preservative. The combination of these ingredients creates its signature lemon-lime flavor profile.

History

7-Up was created in 1929 by Charles Leiper Grigg, who initially named it 'Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda.' The drink was rebranded to 7-Up in 1936, and it quickly gained popularity due to its refreshing taste and unique flavor. Over the decades, it has become a staple in bars and homes alike.

In cocktails

Bartenders often use 7-Up in cocktails to add sweetness and fizz without overpowering other flavors. It works well in mixed drinks like the 7 & 7, which combines 7-Up with Seagram's 7 Crown whiskey. When serving, it can be used as a garnish with a slice of lemon or lime for added visual appeal.

Worth knowing

7-Up was one of the first soft drinks to be marketed as caffeine-free.
