Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cup fresh squeed lemon juice see notes
- ½ cups fresh squeed lime juice see notes
Instructions
- Mix water and sugar on medium to medium high heat until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Remove from heat and let cool.
- Mix in freshly squeezed lemon and lime juice.
- Store in an airtight container until ready to use in your favorite cocktails.
Notes
- This recipe is completely customizable. You can do all lemon juice (for whiskey or vodka sours) or all lime (for margaritas), or add grapefruit or orange juice for a nice twist.
- You can also decrease the amount of citrus to 1 1/2 cups total for a less tart mix.
- Honey or agave can be used in place of the granulated sugar.
- Fresh squeeze lemon and lime juice is the best, but I’ve found that store bought pure lemon and lime juice like this brand is perfectly acceptable and still a million times better than the store bought sweet and sour mix. Just make sure it's not from concentrate.
- This mix will last about 2 weeks in an airtight container in the fridge.
