Fix and swap

Didn't come out right? Fix it.

  • Too sweet

    Add more cucumber or a squeeze of mandarin to pull the bottle back toward crisp.

  • Too sharp

    Add a few cucumber pieces or a small cantaloupe wedge to soften the edge.

  • No cantaloupe?

    Use honeydew. Keeps sweetness, but changes body and aroma.

  • No mandarin?

    Use tangerine. Keeps brightness with a slightly different citrus edge.
