Gradually add 1/2 cup chilled 7 Up, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to your desired thickness. Carefully transfer to your pie plate(s).
Bake according to your pie recipe instructions. For a pre-baked crust, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
