Ok…but whhhhyyyyyy??? It was potable but…I would have rather had either a daiquiri or a gimlet. We needed to dilute this a lot and it actually seemed to get more sour as we drank it.

Was a bit concerned that it may be too sweet, but it was only slightly sweet. I all will depend on the sweetness of your lime cordial and limes. Very refreshing.

Made to spec and found it to be too sweet with the lime cordial (Bickfords)- remade with same alcohol quantities but went 22.5ml of both lime juice and lime cordial- balanced perfectly and definitely making again.
