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 strawberry wedge to soften the edge.
- No strawberry?
Use blueberry. Keeps sweetness, but changes body and aroma.

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