Delicious. Due to the laziness of not wanting to cut another lemon in half (I had half a lemon left over), mine had half the amount of lemon juice in it. And it worked really well. I wouldn't want any more lemon juice in than I put in. Going straight onto my favourites list.

Very refreshing! Good balance of sweet and sour.
