This is very tasty. Complex but smooth. If anything though, I’d up the lemon juice a bit. I think my apple juice is a little on the sweeter side (plus I tend to lean more to the sour).

A good drink, tart & refreshing. I would recommend reducing the lemon juice slightly so it doesn't overpower the other ingredients.

This was great with Wild Turkey 101. Bourbon forward / boozy up front, then the other flavors come in balancing it out. Not too sour; not too sweet, imo.
