Light and refreshing. I think I would prefer the Ginger 43 over this for most occasions, but the Balon 43 might be more refreshing on a hot day? I also wanted more carbonation, but not sure if that's an issue with the spec or the Schweppes Club Soda I used.

Refreshing - benefits from swapping some ofvthe lemon juice for lime juice to give it a it more complexity
