Method
- Prepare your citrus fruit by taking firm lemons and limes out of the refrigerator 15 minutes before juicing.
- Cut lemons in half and use a citrus juicer to extract fresh juice, then strain through a fine mesh strainer.
- Repeat the juicing process with the limes, straining the juice into a separate container.
- Pour one cup of simple syrup into a mixing bowl or pitcher.
- Combine the strained lemon juice and lime juice with the simple syrup.
- Sprinkle salt over the mixture and whisk thoroughly for about 30 seconds until salt dissolves.
- Taste the sour mix and adjust sweetness or acidity if necessary.
- Strain the sour mix one more time into clean glass bottles using a funnel.
Notes
Use freshly squeezed citrus juice for the best flavor. Store sour mix in sealed glass bottles in the refrigerator for up to three weeks.
