Lemon Lime Spritzer

Description

A simple lemon-lime soda that's zesty and refreshing, gentle on the throat. I find that FLV Citrus Soda and WF Lemon Lime Soda have an aspartame-like sweetness that's off-putting while CAP Lemon Lime is too astringent for my taste buds. I wanted to make a simple version that suited my own taste buds and hopefully yours too. 5% VT Lemonade Clear: a light lemon forward/ lime soda. The lime notes get too piney any higher than 5%. However, this needs help to get it where I want it: 2% VT Sour Lemon and 1.25% FE Lemon boost lemon notes and add tartness and volume. 1.5 % VT Fizzy Sherbet adds "effervescence" and light lemon/lime. When used over 1.5%, I find its lime notes get way too bitter and intrusive. 0.25% Super Sweet rounds out sweetness. WS-30 for cooling effect and to enhance fizz effect. Needs at least 1 day minimum steep. Don't make big batches as this mix will lose vibrancy after 1 week, although still vapeable. Optional: 0.30% VT Ginger Root for a hint of fresh ginger.
