too much peach schnapps for me - I added more lime juice after tasting - next time I will use only 7.5 ml Schnapps .10ml lime juice and touch of sugar syrup .

I Really liked this. It is great for an aperitif. However, we did leave out the sugar syrup. Made the drink less sweet and very refreshing.
