Fix and swap

Didn't come out right? Fix it.

  • Too sweet

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

  • Too sharp

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

  • No tomato?

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

  • No jalapeno?

    Use ginger. Keeps warmth, but changes the intensity.
