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 watermelon wedge to soften the edge.

  • No watermelon?

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

  • No strawberry?

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