The Collins mix is nothing more than a glorified sour mix, but it is handy if 
you don't want to squeeze your own fresh juices to mix with sugar.

Sour mix, also known as sweet and sour mix or bar mix, is a mixer made of 
lemon or lime juice and sugar syrup. It is an important part of many cocktails.

To make your own, mix one part heavy sugar syrup (3 parts sugar, 2 parts 
water) with one part lemon juice, and add 2 egg whites per liter of mix. The 
egg whites are optional, but will make the drinks slightly foamy. You may want 
to adjust the sugar/juice ratio to give the mix the right balance of sweetness 
and tartness.
