Sour Mix
Ingredients
Homemade Sour Mix, Make one large bottle
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
2 cups fresh lemon and lime juice (strain out the pulp)
First, combine the water and sugar in a small pot and simmer until the sugar completely dissolves. Turn down the heat and add the lemon and lime juice. Remove from heat and let the mixture cook before straining it a final time into an airtight glass container.
Keeps for a minimum of two weeks in the refrigerator. You do not have to refrigerate more syrups, but I like to when there is a high content of fresh ingredients, so it lasts a little bit longer.
After your mixture is completely cool, you can funnel it into another container and add a pour spout to the top.
As always- bonus points for a cute homemade label!
Amaretto Sour (for nostalgia's sake! it's the easiest recipe ever.)
1 part Amaretto Almond Liqueur
1 part homemade sour mix
Pour both ingredients into a glass filled with ice. Mix with a spoon. Garnish with a cherry and an orange or lemon slice. Too sweet? Substitute half the Amaretto for Whiskey. ;)
