Whiskey sour |
I use two different recipes one with all lemons and one with limes and lemons. I think the one with lemons and limes is best. I make the all lemon version whenever I make limoncello and have all of those zested lemons. You can actually cut out a step by using superfine sugar and water (that way you don't have to heat the water to dissolve the sugar).
Sweet and Sour Mix
3 Cups Sugar
3 Cups Water
3 Cups Lemon Juice (About 12-14 Lemons) or 2 Cups Lemon Juice and 2 Cups Lime Juice
Heat the sugar and water in a small saucepan until the sugar is completely dissolved. Cool the syrup and add the juice. Cool completely before using. The sweet and sour mix will last up to a week in the refrigerator.
Amaretto Sour
One Shot of Amaretto
Sweet and Sour Mix
Fill a glass with ice. Add a shot of amaretto and fill the remainder of the glass with sweet and sour mix.
Whiskey Sour
One Shot of Whiskey
Sweet and Sour Mix
Fill a glass with ice. Add a shot of whiskey and fill the remainder of the glass with sweet and sour mix.
Kiddie Cocktail |
Sweet and Sour Mix
Splash of Grenadine
Fill a glass with ice. Fill the glass with sweet and sour mix and add a splash of grenadine.
The bottom line: is it worth the time to make the sweet and sour mix from scratch? Yes it is worth the time to juice all of those lemons.
