Back in the day, 7 & 7 was a goto drink , on the rocks. I had a neighbor across the street who re-stored classic cars . Corvettes , Camaro`s , Mustang,s and Nova,s . I would watch him do his magic while sipping on a "perfect Manhattan" Try this you may enjoy  Ingredients 2 ounces whiskey 1/2 ounce sweet vermouth 1/2 ounce dry vermouth 2 dashes Angostura or orange bitters Maraschino cherry or small piece lemon peel for garnish Preparation In mixing glass or cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine whiskey, vermouth, and bitters. Stir well, about 20 seconds, then strain into cocktail glass. Add cherry or twist lemon peel directly over drink to release essential oils, and serve. Here, the word "perfect" refers not to the quality of the cocktail (though we do love this version), but to the equal amounts of sweet and dry vermouth used to make it.

Rockinbbar: I don't have a clue as to the palatability of Seagrams 7 but would be curious to know if your brother in law has "connections"?
Enjoy (I hope) the Seagrams etc.

Slumlord has the right recipe, although I prefer Diet Coke. We buy it two half gallons (1.75) at a time at Sam's Club for $16.99. My wife switches between that and Jim Beam for her mixing. It's not the best to me for sipping.

7&7 is the way to go.
refreshing drink after some work, about like light beer.
good thing about them, no one wants to drink a bunch of 7up, so ya stop after one or two.
I'd like to know where BIL is headed, sounds like the world won't end there.

...Actually Sycamore, you are sort of right....

I always liked Seagrams 7 mixed with one Ice cube. Just like most other whisky.

Drank quite a bit of "sebbin sebbin" in 'Nam. But then again, we also drank Scotch and root beer and Alka-Seltzer daquiris, so judge from that. Haven't touched S-7 since, now that I think about it. Maybe ought to. You know, Rocky, the last 7n7 I drank was likely in the Air Force club in Nha Trang AB in 1971. That schit was rotgut then and it is rotgut now, although I drank most anything back then. The poster that said Crown was rough really won’t like 7! Seagrams 7 is the Mad Dog 20/20 of the whisky world. LOL! Pendleton is a pretty good Canadian. Windsor, McNaughtons, CC, CDN Mist, R&R, Black Velvet, etc are all bottom shelf in-law whisky.

Been 50 years since I was in a bar. Was at a wedding recently where I was asked what I wanted to drink. Only drink I could think of was 7&7.

When I was about 15 three of us scored a quart of Seagrams and took it and some hot dogs out to one of the nearby islands to camp out. We filled up on fire roasted hot dogs and Seagrams right from the bottle, then headed across the river to a Brockville Ontario where they were having their summer carnival. At some point I puked my guts (and hot dogs) up on the street, we headed back to the boat and after some more Seagrams, felt better. We went back to the island where we had the bright idea to put both 7 1/2 hsp outboards on one of the 12 foot boats and cruise up the river to one of the Canadian island parks to see if any girls were camping up there. We tied the tillers together so the props would stay apart and took off. The boat cruised along like that, at one point we overtook a big dry bulker and got close enough to holler in through an open port to the guys in the engine room, probably 12 or 15 feet off the side of the ship. There weren’t any girls camping out up there so we finished the Seagrams and slept it off till morning. I don’t think I’ve had any since.

Not much of a whiskey drinker. Or much of a drinker at all... So I'm asking here... How's Seagram's 7? Brother in law gave me a case of the 1.75L bottles yesterday. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/cdypuoH.jpg) It's not sweet crap like Crown, is it? He did throw in a case of Jose Cuervo Gold, and a case each of rum and white tequila. Is the Seagram's drinkable? Blech.......Seagram's of any sort is solvent at best. Out in the villages where R&R and Gilbey's rule, Seagram's is considered to be high-end schitt. V.O isn't real bad. I can choke it down if offered by friends as not to offend them. Canadian whiskeys are the best. Mild and not sweet like Bourbon. I, myself, drink Canadian Club Reserve.
That bottle of Seagrams is $21.99 and same size in Canadian Club Reserve is $29.99.
Standard Crown Royal is $42.97 but a bit rougher than those two above. I've never met a Canadian beer I didn't like. I've yet to meet a Canadian whiskey I could stand.

If the panic keeps going, I may just buy some small spray bottles and sell it as "Hand Sanitizer"...  It would too!
