Fix and swap

Didn't come out right? Fix it.

  • Too sweet

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

  • Too sharp

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

  • No fennel?

    Use celery. Keeps yield, but shifts the base flavor.

  • No green apple?

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