Swap Store-Bought for Handmade
This homemade sweet and sour mix is perfect for all of your home brewed cocktails.
Sweet and Sour mix, also referred to as simply Sour mix, is a cocktail mix that consists of a blend of sugar, lemon, and lime juices. Sour mix is used in a variety of cocktails & mocktails.
This homemade sweet and sour mix uses freshly squeezed lemon and lime juices instead of processed store-bought juices that can contain extra sugars and other kinds of preservatives. Because our mix is fresh and not preserved, it will last in the fridge for a little over a week or two. That is if you don’t use it all making cocktails, of course.
This is how to make our own sweet and sour mix.
