How to Make Restaurant Style Sweet And Sour Mix

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved and the liquid is clear.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup white vinegar, 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and a few drops of red food coloring (adjust to your desired color intensity).
  4. Allow the mixture to cool completely before chilling. This allows the flavors to meld.
  5. Once cooled, chill the sweet and sour mix in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.
