I&#8217;m not sure why the pre-mixed stuff is so popular, especially here in California where citrus is literally dropping off the trees for free. When you look at the label on the market leading mix it makes pretty scary reading&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Water, corn syrup, sugar, citric acid, natural flavors, sodium citrate, sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate (to preserve flavor), cellulose gum, polysorbate 60, gum arabic, glycerol abietate and FD&amp;C yellow no. 5.
