sour mix
Bar citrus concentrate
Sour mix is a prepared cocktail ingredient combining citrus juice (usually lemon or lime) with sugar or simple syrup, used to add tartness and sweetness to drinks like whiskey sours, margaritas, and daiquiris.
Commercial versions often contain preservatives and artificial flavors; bartenders who take their craft seriously typically make their own.
Also called sweet and sour mix.
