7 Up Biscuits Ingredients
- Bisquick: This pre-made mixture of flour, salt, baking powder and shortening cuts down on our ingredient list. Swap in a gluten-free biscuit mix to make this perfect for anyone with gluten sensitivities. The texture may change slightly.
- 7 Up: The carbonation basically adds air to the biscuits developing the best light and fluffy texture. Go with another lemon lime soda of your choice like Sprite. It all works just as well.
- Sour Cream: Swap in some plain greek yogurt.
- Melted Butter: Salted or unsalted is fine here.
How to make 7 Up Biscuits
Mix it Up!
Step 1: Add bisquick, sour cream, and 7 Up to a bowl.
Step 2: Mix until a dough forms. Add more bisquick if necessary to get the consistency you want.

This reminds me of the cake I used to make with cherry cola. One can of cherry cola and one box of chocolate cake mix. That’s it, nothing else! Bake according to directions on cake mix box. You can also make a glaze with more cola and 10X sugar.
Delicious!

Can you make these as drop biscuits and not roll out the dough?
Absolutely!

You can use a baking sheet or pan as well.

These biscuits look perfect. I can’t believe they are made with 7up. I can’t wait to give these easy biscuits a try.
This looks great! I can’t wait to try it out. I love that it takes so few ingredients to make.
Love how tasty these biscuits are, AND how quick they come together!
This sounds like such a fun recipe to try! The seven up can be substituted with any other brand of bubbly though, right?
