When bartending many drinks will require sweet and sour mix,
but sometimes you run out, or just don't have the time to run out and get it in
a pinch. Thankfully, making home made
sweet and sour mix is actually pretty simple.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup fresh lime juice
Directions:
First, mix your 1 cup of sugar in with your 1 cup of water
until all the sugar is fully dissolved. Once the sugar has completely dissolved
into the water, add your 1 cup of lime juice and your 1 cup of lemon juice into
the mixture. Mix all the ingredients
together thoroughly then refrigerate until you need to use it.
Some drinks that use sweet and sour mix include:
This is easy to prepare. I'd have a question for you: which is the difference between lemon juice and lime juice? If I use only lemon juice will the taste change?
