From the Bartender

The name is a brand joke: Seagram's Seven Crown and 7 Up. It dominated American bars from the 1970s through the 1990s and is worth knowing as the baseline every other whisky highball is measured against. A fresh lemon wedge, squeezed in, improves it more than a better whisky would.

Lemon and sugar around a soft bourbon centre, then dry ginger stretching it out — a sour that keeps going instead of finishing in three sips.

Half the sweetness of a whiskey-ginger with all of the spice, the soda thinning it into something genuinely refreshing rather than merely mixed.

Soft orchard fruit and light grain from the whiskey with lime doing most of the structural work, the ginger ale sweeter and gentler than ginger beer would be.

Stone Fence

Tart pressed apple over corn sweetness and oak, the bitters adding a spiced edge that stops it drinking like a soft drink with whiskey in it.
