Sweet and sour mix

Sweet and sour mix

Sweet and sour mix is a citrus-based cocktail ingredient made by combining lemon or lime juice with sugar or simple syrup.
It offers a balanced blend of tangy acidity and gentle sweetness, creating a bright and refreshing flavor when mixed with various spirits.

Commonly used in cocktails like Whiskey Sour, Margarita, and Long Island Iced Tea, it allows bartenders and home users alike to make citrus-based drinks conveniently without squeezing fresh fruit.

If commercial mix is unavailable, it can be easily made at home by combining fresh lemon juice and simple syrup.
The standard ratio is 1:1, but you can adjust the sweetness or tartness to match your taste.
