2 Vintage 7-Up Recipe Pamphlets 1961 Seven-Up Company Party and Quick Recipe Favorites

Two 7-Up recipe booklets from the Seven-Up Company of 1300 Delmar Boulevard, St. Louis, Missouri, both printed in 1961. Quick Recipe Favorites has the white cover with the line about being distinctively different with 7-Up. 7-Up goes to a Party has the red and yellow cover with bottles and a gelatin mold, and it is built around barbecues, guest dinners, open houses, and holiday events.

Quick Recipe Favorites runs through beverages and coolers, breads, salads and dressings, cheese, vegetables, meats, outdoor cookery, fruit desserts, cakes and frostings, ice cream sauces, the punch bowl, floats, and party ideas. The Party booklet starts with sparkling fruit appetizers and coolers, then moves into buffet menus, holiday foods, chicken dishes, molded salads, and desserts.

Both are stapled softcovers with color printing and black and white photographs inside. Recipes include Hibachi Tidbits, 7-Up Family Pot Roast, 7-Up Cheese Fondue, Tuna Chow Mein, Glazed Sweet Potatoes, Hawaiian 7-Up, and Grape Cooler.
