That doesn't sound so bad. I like bourbon and 7up and I add a lemon wedge garnish to my drink pretty often, too. No reason to skip the vitamins just because it's happy hour, right? And I like cherries and lemon so the combination of them all sounds great to me. I've just never thought of Dr. Pepper as a mixer but I worked in a liquor store a couple of summers ago and was amazed how many people bought it to mix drinks with - and most of those folks were buying Red Stag to mix it with.
How much snow did you get this weekend????
