Homemade Sour Mix

Steps

1. 1To make this citrus simple syrup, begin by juicing lemons and limes. I use a hand juicer.
2. 2Freshly squeezed juice is worth the effort and makes the most delicious sour mix.
3. 3Pour the sugar and water into a sauce pan and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
4. 4Pour the citrus juice in last.
5. 5Remove from heat and let it cool completely before decanting.
6. 6Use a fine mesh strainer to decant it into a bottle. I used this bottle from Amazon. Add a label if you like—this is especially helpful for guests and parties.
