I forgot to add the lime juice and I think it was better without. The lime covers up most of the floral flavors.

I agree - I only put in 15mL and still way too much, at least with the limes I have.

Bravo Ann. We do that all the time, wanting both an aperitivo and digestivo version of our favourite 'sours'. Of course, it can take a bit of fiddling with ingredients and volumes to get the balance right. Next time, maybe throw in a generous splash of Americano Bianco or Bianco Vermouth to your taste, just to soften the sharpish edge...delicious. Cheers.
