I re-mixed it again, but this time cut back on the lime juice to 1/2 oz/15 ml and it was more balanced and not as citrus prevalent; however, if you do use a sweetened apple juice you may require the original amount.
A bit confusingly, while the ratio of honey per water is usually indicated, I find that here it is suggested the monin honey syrup but its specifics/ratio are not described so we are left a bit to guess, which after all is in the nature of cocktail in terms of pinch/drops and yeah, ratios. But yes, I'd bet that you should have mixed your honey with water either one to one or two honey to one water if we were to follow the lines above.
