Can I substitute Sprite for 7UP?

Yes, you can substitute any kind of lemon-lime soda brands in place of the 7-Up like Sprite, sierra mist, etc.

What can I use if I don’t have lemon extract?

If you don’t have lemon extract you can substitute 1 teaspoon of freshly grated lemon peel per teaspoon of extract.

You can also substitute the extract for lemon juice. Lemon extract is certainly more concentrated so you will want to use 2 tablespoons lemon juice per 1 teaspoon lemon extract.
