You can make your own. Sour mix is just equal parts simple syrup with either lemon juice or lime juice. You can make simple syrup with equal parts sugar and water. Here's a quick recipe: 1 cup sugar 1 cup warm water 1 cup fresh lemon juice (can substitute lime juice) * Make the simple syrup by mixing the sugar with the warm water, and stirring until dissolved (sugar dissolves easier in warmer water). * Let the simple syrup cool, and then mix with the lemon juice. Stir well. You now have sour mix. Use the sour mix immediately, or pour into a container of your choice and refrigerate. As a general rule for getting the best flavors: always use fresh juices (i.e. squeeze your lime juice w/ a strainer to catch and remove the pulp).
Rose's Lime is not lime juice, it is a sweetened cordial containing lime juice. Sour mix is a combination of lemon juice and lime juice with syrup. The recipes are all the same because it is so simple - the only thing you could vary is the amount of syrup you add.
