Home made sweet and sour mix

Many drink recipes ask for a sweet and sour mix.  This home made version is perfect for those who don’t want a very sweet mix.

There are lots of commercial sweet and sour mixes available for purchase in grocery stores and where liquor is sold. But most of those are too sweet for my liking.  

Fortunately, making this mix at home is a cinch and it gives me the balanced taste that I enjoy.
