Many cocktails call for a sweet and sour mix, or as it may be known’ sour’ or ‘sour mix’.\u00a0 I’ve put a few variations of the mix recipe here — two are “no heat” versions, and one needs a 5 minute boil.\u00a0 All the recipes are simple to do.<\/p>\n

\"Lime\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

Sweet and Sour Mix<\/h2>\n

Variation 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

3 cups granulated sugar
\n3 cups water
\n2 cups lemon juice
\n2 cups lime juice<\/p>\n

(or 4 cups lemon, or 4 cups lime)<\/p>\n

Combine the water and sugar into a large sauce pan.\u00a0 Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.\u00a0 Bring to a boil, and then boil for 5 minutes.\u00a0 Cool.\u00a0 Add in the lemon & lime juices.\u00a0 Stir to mix and then refrigerate.\u00a0 This can be kept for about a week in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n

Variation 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 Cup lemon juice
\n1 Cup lime Juice
\n1 cup confectioners sugar (aka caster sugar or icing sugar – 10x sugar)<\/p>\n

Mix together well, and allow to sit for 4-24 hours.\u00a0 Stir occasionally, making sure the sugar is dissolved.<\/p>\n

Variation 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

2 cups lemon or 2 cups lime juice
\n1 cup confectioners sugar (aka caster sugar or icing sugar – 10x sugar)<\/p>\n
