SODA – Today we’re using Sierra Mist, however, similar to a classic seven and seven cocktail, you can use 7 Up or any lemon-lime soda you prefer.
WHISKEY – Our first choice when it comes to whiskey in this recipe is Seagram’s 7. Feel free to substitute for Canadian whiskey if preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions
You can multiply the recipe to make it by the pitcher if desired, but we have found that it tastes better when you make each glass fresh. The soda tends to get a little flat otherwise. If you do plan to make it ahead, save the lemon-lime soda for just before you serve.
A shaker is not required, a spoon can be used to stir the drink instead.
With the light bite of citrus, the spice of whiskey, and the carbonation of the lemon-lime soda, this spiked limeade pulls together beautifully and makes a great cocktail to enjoy in the heat of summer.

The recipes on this blog are tested with a conventional gas oven and gas stovetop. It’s important to note that some ovens, especially as they age, can cook and bake inconsistently. Using an inexpensive oven thermometer can assure you that your oven is truly heating to the proper temperature. If you use a toaster oven or countertop oven, please keep in mind that they may not distribute heat the same as a conventional full sized oven and you may need to adjust your cooking/baking times. In the case of recipes made with a pressure cooker, air fryer, slow cooker, or other appliance, a link to the appliances we use is listed within each respective recipe. For baking recipes where measurements are given by weight, please note that results may not be the same if cups are used instead, and we can’t guarantee success with that method.

When you mention limeade do you mean lime juice as I notice you have limes in the picture? If not, what limeade do you use? Or how do you make it?
Amanda Formaro says
Hi Deborah! In this recipe we are using purchased Limeade. We like the Simply brand which is available at most grocery stores! Here’s a link for reference https://shopstyle.it/l/btKUm
