Notes

Something was off, carbonation was way under.
Grapefruit peel gave off wonderful smell, but only bitterness as taste, even though all grapefruit peel additions were blanched three times.
Smelled delicious, taste was not 100% up to the smell, under-carbonated.
Beets taste was non existent, color was just as the name implied.
