Basic Homemade Sweet and Sour Mix

A basic, general purpose bar mixer that can be easily adapted for desired sweetness or tartness by adjusting the amounts of simple syrup and citrus juices. Can also be made with only lemon juice if desired, though the mixer with lime included is perfect for margaritas and mojitos.
