A bit sour for me. Feel like something is missing.

Simple and perfectly balanced!

Really enjoy this one; we can taste the various components but it's all in balance. Followed original recipe but can see how the touch of salt might be useful. Cheers!

I've tried a few different Star Daisy recipes, this is the best, hands down. The touch of salt really elevates this.
