Homemade Sweet and Sour Mix (for Cocktails) image

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 c water
1/2 c sugar
1/4 c fresh lime juice
1/4 c fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • 1. Make a simple syrup with the sugar and water. Simmer them together over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved.
  • 2. Let the mixture come to room temperature.
  • 3. Add the lemon and lime juices.
  • 4. Pour into a container (I used a cleaned Prego jar).
  • 5. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks or freeze for about a month (or maybe longer. Mine was only frozen for about a month before I used it all).
  • 6. NOTES: You can use bottled lemon and lime juices instead of fresh......but the taste is fresher and better with fresh.
  • 7. VARIATION: Margarita mix usually leaves out the lemon juice for a lime based sour mix. So you can make this without the lemon juice as a substitute for margarita mix. Based on personal preference........you may want to add more lime juice to get a stronger flavor.
