Ah, this explains why so much of what I made from the 'bum's books I found to be too tart, and I learned quick to halve or 3/4 the lemon/lime element. Same for drinks made from my vintage recipe books.
Not surprising, tho', the way our tastebuds have 'evolved', when just about everything we buy from the store nowadays has plenty of sugar/sweeteners added to it.
