What it is:
- Crazy easy to make with only two ingredients
- Completely natural, chemical free
What it’s not:
- Loaded with high fructose corn syrup

What’s not to like?
Homemade sour mix
Ingredients
- 16 ounces simple syrup
- 12 ounces key lime, lime or lemon juice or some combination thereof

See? Crazy easy. And you can customize it, of course, and make it a little more sweet or a little more sour — whatever floats your boat. Or your margarita shaker.
One Particular Kitchen 
There is nothing like homemade sour mix. The store bought stuff is just unacceptable for my cocktails. Great photo.
Thank you! 🙂 ~OPK
I always wonder why people buy sweet and sour mix….. 🙂
Well I had no idea it was so easy! I didn’t know what all was in it — what a lovely surprise! ~OPK
Have you tried making grenadine? I made it last month, and never looked back.
I have not! Do tell! ~OPK
Its too simple, take 2 cups pomegranate juice, bring to a boil, then simmer til it reduces by about half. Add a cup of sugar, stir til dissolved, and let it cool. You can add red color if you feel the need, but it makes such a rich dark purpley colour on its own.
That IS too simple! Thank you!!
