This was GREAT... it worked perfect for my Long Island Iced Tea :-) Thanks for sharing -
I never bought sweet & sour mix and was glad to find this recipe. It tastes great like this. I used it in this margarita : recipe#235628 Thanks Marguerite :) Edited on June 15th : I tried it with cold water and splenda and it is perfectly the same and less calories. -
Love this sweet& sour mix not to sweet , not to sour!! -
Perfect! and so easy! I have always just purchased sweet and sour mix, as I used to have a fave, which I can no longer find...This is wonderful, inexpensive, and I can make it to suit myself, with a bit more or less of the 'simple syrup' mix. I don't think I have to worry about looking at the store anymore! Thanks for posting, Marguerite214. -
Excellent in margaritas! We leave out the food coloring. Very simple and natural. I'll never be able to drink a commercial mix without turning up my nose. Thanks!
