I think the fresh lemon juice and sugar is the way to go. Having said that, Sunkist makes a decent sweet & sour if you're willing to give a premade product one more shot (not sure which products you've used so far). It's something like 43% juice and doesn't have that preservative/chemical aftertaste or smell imho. It actually smells like lemon. I use it to make pirate grogs (Blackbeard's Ghosts) and it works fairly well.
