For an extra burst of flavor, consider using freshly squeezed orange juice. Adjust the amount of sweet and sour mix to your preference for a sweeter or tarter drink. If you don't have crushed ice, regular ice cubes will work, but the drink may not be as frosty. Experiment with different orange liqueurs to find your favorite flavor profile. To make your own sweet and sour mix, combine equal parts of sugar, water, and lemon juice in a saucepan and heat until the sugar is dissolved and then let cool.
