Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup lemon juice fresh squeezed
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Start by juicing 4 or 5 lemons to get 1 cup of juice.
- Mix the lemon juice, sugar, and water until the sugar is completely dissolved. We usually mix everything in a large pot or bowl with a whisk by hand or in a pitcher with a screw-on-top that we can shake without creating a mess.
- Use the sour mix as a base to create delicious cocktails or non-alcoholic drinks.
Notes
If you already have a batch of simple syrup on hand, you can mix it with freshly squeezed lemon juice using a ratio of 2 parts simple syrup to 1 part juice.
