There is no official best alcohol to mix with Sprite. Sprite is 0% lemon-lime soda. Any spirit you pour is the drink. Typical US whiskey, rum, vodka, gin, and tequila lots sit at 40% Whiskey and Sprite is a highball with no official name. Seven & Seven is 7UP, not Sprite. A 1.5-ounce 40% pour is one NIAAA drink. No 2026 ranking.
