BAR-TENDER'S BRAND Cocktail Sour Mix — Concentrated Ready-Made Mix for Consistent Tartness

BAR-TENDER'S BRAND Cocktail Sour Mix is a ready-made instant sour mix crafted to give mixed drinks consistent tartness and sweet balance without squeezing citrus.

Whether you're stocking a home bar, running a busy restaurant, or prepping for a party, this concentrated sour mix simplifies cocktail building. It replaces the need to measure fresh lemon and sugar separately, so you save time while keeping flavor consistent across batches. The formula is designed for classic cocktails like whiskey sours, margaritas, daiquiris, and a wide range of mixed drinks that call for a bright, tangy base.

How do I use this mix in my cocktail recipes?

Measure the mix as specified in your recipe or follow a simple ratio to adapt drinks. It blends smoothly with spirits, liqueurs, and mixers and can be shaken or stirred depending on the drink style.

• Standard ratio: replace fresh sour components with the same volume of mix unless otherwise directed.
• Shake with ice for fizzy, aerated cocktails like sours; stir for spirit-forward drinks.
• Adjust sweetness by adding a splash of simple syrup or reducing the mix slightly.
• Use in batches for parties—mix scales reliably without flavor drift.

Will it affect the texture or balance of classic cocktails?

The mix is formulated to mimic the sweet-tart profile expected in sour-style cocktails while offering uniform viscosity. It produces consistent balance across servings, though texture will vary if you typically use egg white or fresh citrus pulp.

• Delivers predictable tartness suitable for shaken cocktails.
• Smoother mouthfeel than some homemade fresh-squeeze mixes.
• Pair with egg white or aquafaba if you want a frothy finish.
• Adjust garnish and bitters to fine-tune aroma and finish.

How should I store and measure the mix for best results?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; reseal tightly after opening. Use a jigger or measuring cup for accuracy—small variations affect taste less than with fresh citrus.

• Keep sealed and refrigerated after opening if recommended on the label.
• Use standard bar measures for repeatable cocktails (1 oz, 1/2 oz, etc.).
• For large batches, mix in a sanitized container and stir before serving.
• Check the label for any storage guidance and shelf-life indicators.
