I want to make a juice that is just menthol but I want to add some kind of sweetner or EM

Most menthol flavors are very strong and have the medicine taste or they kill your throat
I want to make a menthol that has sweetner or em so I can still taste the menthol but it will not be a killer.

So what I am asking is
What is the best tasting Menthol flavor / which brand? (I do not want spearmint, peppermint etc)
Just menthol flavoring.

And what % would I mix the menthol and what% would i mix the EM or sweetner or both? I heard about menthol crystals but I have not tried them. my EM is a liquid

Using straight Creme de Menthe from TFA just might be what you are looking for. I mix mine half and half with TFA Whipped Cream personally and add no other sweeteners. I had been adding sweetener, Menthol (from Crystals) and Coolada but I don't any more.

My current mix is 7.5% Creme de Menthe and 7.5% Whipped Cream.

Sorta. I use % instead of drops. but I could try just using 3 drops per 30ml
I worry a little bit that it is too little amount.
OK, percentage wise, .1% to .25% for menthal. I also suggest the Tfa creme de menthe. Little can go a long way with some flavors. It is easier to add flavor than to take out ;)

I make my buddy a menthol
.5% menthol
.25 koolada
2% Hangsen vanilla
1% inawera burley

Menthol fades a bit so if it is a little too strong give it a day or two. If it is a lot too strong after waiting a day dilute the final mix with unflavored base. The koolada gives additional cooling effect but no menthol harshness at that percentage. The tobacco flavor is optional but a nice touch. Dead on menthol cigarette after a month steep. Hardly noticeable fresh.

TLDR: add some vanilla and a touch of koolada. Keep menthol percentage low
