For something that has such strong ingredients it's surprisingly flavorless. It tastes like neither lime, melon, or or orange. Just vodka.

Hi Kimberly. I've revisited this cocktail to reduce the vodka and up the melon flavours. Hopefully, now much improved.

I've recreated it exactly according to the recipe and I find it quite strong. I've added 20ml simple syrup 1:1 and it upgraded it tremendously.
