Percentage advice/cola

[gjshaw29]

Hey guys just wanted to pick the brains of the vets here. I'm looking to make a cola flavor, and I'd be using loranns cola and champagne. Was wondering if any of you have and percentage advice? I'm thinking of doing a small test batch with 10% cola and 2-3% Champagne. I've read that the champagne will give it that carbonated feeling. Well I await your response and thanks in advance for the replies you guys.

I would use those percentages but add another flavoring... like root beer, grape, mountain dew, etc. My grape Soda is outstanding!

Vanilla Bourbon and Cola would be my choice. The VB will give you a nice " Grasshopper " or Vanilla Coke and will add more of a fizz than Champagne. I tried both and VB wins hands down for fizz. Throw some Black Cherry in for a Cherry-Vanilla Cola.

I'd go 8% to 10%

Did you try the Cola with the mountain dew yet? Curious of your thoughts if you had.
