Sour mix. Sour mix, also known as sweet and sour mix or bar mix, is a mixer made of lemon or lime juice and sugar syrup. It is an important part of many cocktails. To make your own, mix one part heavy sugar syrup (3 parts sugar, 2 parts water) with one part lemon juice, and add 2 egg whites per liter of mix. The egg whites are optional, but will make the drinks slightly foamy. You may want to adjust the sugar/juice ratio to give the mix the right balance of sweetness and tartness.
Sweet, Nutty and Fruity. 7Up can also be mixed with sweeter, nuttier drinks to make distinctive cocktails. Nut-based liquors, such as Disarrono or Amaretto, pair well with 7Up, as the citrus flavor and carbonation cut the syrupy sweetness of these liquors. Mix 2 parts 7Up to 1 part nut liquor, and pour over ice. Serve in a rocks glass for a classic look, and garnish with a maraschino cherry. Because of its flavor profile, 7Up is also often combined with other fruit flavors, such as cherry or orange juices, to make fruity cocktails.
