Lemon Lime Spritzer

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.
