like Crown Royal and Seven Up? or Crown Royale and Seagrams Seven? because neither makes much sense.

I was thinking the former.. but I agree.

I thought the standards were 7 & 7 and Crown and coke

Meh... why pay $25 a fifth when you can just use Seagram's for half the price?

Although I do greatly prefer a crown and coke to a rum and coke.

Crown and 7-up. It's my mother's preferred drink.

I prefer crown straight.

The best version of this is Jameson & 7-Up with a twist of lime.

Very good, especially when consumed in bulk.

It's better neat, but best with ginger ale, specifically 'Canada Dry' which is, of course, the champagne of ginger ales.

Is Jameson any good? And if so, why water it down with seven up? And isn't it obvious that Sprite is superior to SevenUp? Anyways, as far as whisky I usually drink Jim Beam. I prefer it over Jack, but I occasionally get Makers Mark or Crown Royal. This reply is going no where, so I'll just ask, what are some good second tier whiskys, preferably bourbon? And what's so good about scotch?

I dig it. I hear Tullamore Dew is a fine Irish whiskey too

now, this is the last place I expected to get into a ginger ale debate.. but I have to weigh in on this, as ginger ale is pretty much my carbonated beverage of choice.

Canada Dry is ghastly

The order is

Seagrams >(slightly) Schwepps >>> Canada Dry

I'm not sure where to place Vernor's, because it's got a unique flavor, different than the above sodas.. it might very well be superior to all, depending on my mood.

edit: carbonated beverage of choice refers here to soft drinks

I don't have much experience with Seagrams, but yes, Schwepps is better than Canada Dry. Ginger ale is also my carbonated beverage of choice. I absolutely hate it when restaurants don't have it.

I'm actually drinking a glass of Schwepps and ice right now. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

nh. I suggest you try some Seagram's though, fantastic stuff.

have you had Vernor's, though? the stores near me don't carry it often, so if I'm able to randomly find it somewhere it's a rare treat. I would suggest checking that out too, if you can.

While everybody who knows me knows that Caucasions are my preferred drink, what we have in abundance tonight is Crown Royal and 7-up. Good stuff. Especially, like I said, your 8th round in.

The last time I bought Vernor's I didn't like it at all. It was too smooth and creamy and as a result slightly flatter tasting. I think that's the only time I've had it though. Just a bad bottle?

Nice, I'll add it to my list of drinks to try. I've had Crown Royal Special Edition straight and it tasted awful.

Jameson is great. And you're not really watering it down with 7-up, you're mixing a good cocktail. If you want to drink whiskey straight up, then drink it straight up. When you want a nice mixed drink, go for the Jameson & 7.

As for Sprite, when was the last time you saw Sprite in a bartender's squirt gun? And if that's what they have, then when you order Jameson & 7 with lime, you'll get a Jameson & Sprite with lime.

You drink that blended trash?

We have to get some class into you baby.

Single Malts, neat, 2 fingers.

Goes well with the Punch Robusto.
