The Sour drinks are the benchmark of the professional bartender and are the biggest challenge for the amateur. The difficult factor is the volatile fresh lemon and lime juice. Follow the formula below for all your sweet and sour drinks - and they will please 90 per cent of the people. For the 10 per cent that require a sweeter drink, just keep a bottle of simple syrup handy and add as necessary.
