Finally found it. It is called "Quik Lem."
Not easy to find even after getting the name right. There are only a handful of direct internet references to the product, mostly from bartending books. Thanks to the bartender giving me one of the empty pouches of mix, I was able to contact Tree-Ripe and have some shipped. It is made and distributed by Tree-Ripe Products, East Hanover, NJ. Surprisingly, it isn't on their product pages, even though they've been selling it for decades. They were nice enough not to make me buy it by the case, so I purchased a couple of pouches (about $4 ea, not including shipping). Each pouch makes a gallon. A very good product. Unlike every other packaged/bottled sweet and sour mix I've tried, this one has a very good, very natural taste. Slightly creamy as if some "Orange Julius" powder was mixed in with a good lemonade. If you are using a sweet and sour mix in any of your drinks, I would strongly recommend this one. Tree-Ripe Products |
