Anyone know where I can find a Disaronno recipe? Inactive user @HeadInClouds had one posted on their blog, but apparently their blog data has been deleted https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/blogs/headinclouds.156342/
Disaronno Recipe

Need to look in the underworld 
Yes, a little bird told me. I rarely go there anymore because since the site is hosted on a budget server outside the USA it's pages load excruciatingly slow for me 80% of the time. But I accessed it and saved it to my hard drive. I will try it as-is and with a regular bourbon (or whiskey) instead of vanilla bourbon . The creator of the recipe says that it's Disaronno "with a touch of cream" which isn't really Disaronno then lol.
This will be my first attempt at a complex juice (complex defined as more than one flavor lol). I'm not normally interested in getting too involved in juice making or having a boat load of flavors in my stash, but I'm willing to make an exception for Disaronno.
Let us know how it goes .
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe Vanilla Bourbon has a boozy taste. It's more of a gourmet vanilla like Madagascar Vanilla.

The original recipe only lists 'touch of cream' as an additive/one of the uses of the flavoring. The original recipe doesn't have any cream and would be more like the real Disoranno.
As you may be aware, 'vanilla bourbon' isn't a booze flavor, I think it refers to a type of vanilla bean from the isle of Bourbon. I would be interested in hearing how it is with whiskey or bourbon flavoring added.
Ooops. No I wasn't aware of that.
I guess that's why the picture on retailer sites doesn't show a glass of bourbon.Do either of you have experience adding Whiskey flavoring to juice to get a "boozy" note? If so, do you have any recommendation on which whiskey flavor to use and at what percentage to start at?

I used TFA Kentucky Bourbon in a 5Pawns Castle Long recipe at 2.5% and as a stand alone at 4%.
I have only used bourbon and rum and only nicvape flavorings. I would start low, you can always add more lol. I think I used .5 or 1.0. Booze flavors are sort of overpowering in a mix.Ooops. No I wasn't aware of that.

In your experience, do juices that use booze flavors require steeping just because of the booze? I see that the Disaronno juice supposedly does not absolutely require steeping but just wondering if adding booze may change that.
I would say yes, especially if you add a lot of booze to it. I used such a small amount that it didn't require it but is best after a few days. Granted, I am not a 'steeping' sort of gal and rarely do it.
I've used TFA Kentucky Bourbon in a few mixes, about 2%. Give it at least a couple days, unless the recipe has other ingredients that need longer.
I haven't tried it yet because I was waiting for a sale to order the flavors. Just ordered a few days ago - BCF's labor day sale.
However, I didn't order the FA Caramel or FA Vanilla Bourbon because I have CAP Simply Vanilla and CAP Caramel (which I never used before), so I won't be able to test the exact HIC recipe. I did order TFA Kentucky Bourbon, but I'm probably going to experiment without it at first. I'm not shooting for an exact Disaronno flavor right now, a good Amaretto flavor will do.
Also, don't expect a quick report here. It's harvest time and I have a good bit of processing to do.
Also I forgot. I also ordered WF SC Amaretto flavor because I'm skeptical that Marzipan and Almond alone will produce an Amaretto flavor I'll be happy with. Authentic Amaretto flavor is derived from stone fruit seeds (I don't care what the internet says lol). Eat a peach, nectarine or apricot seed - 100% amaretto flavor without sweetness and rather bitter sometimes. I used to buy a bag of peach seeds every year and ate a couple every day. But it got too expensive for my wallet, so now when I buy peaches or nectarines (never apricots, again, too expensive) I save the pits to dry out then crack them open for the seeds. Mmmmmmm

Well I tried it and this 1st attempt was a failure (but not entirely, see below).
As I said before, I didn't buy the the FA caramel or FA vanilla bourbon as I had CAP simply vanilla and CAP caramel already so I figured I'd give it a shot.
Not knowing where to start since I changed 2 flavors, I decided to go with 0.75% for all 4 flavors like the original recipe calls for. So...
FA Almond - 0.75%
FA Marzipan - 0.75%
CAP Simply Vanilla - 0.75%
CAP Caramel - 0.75%
Nic 6mg
70/30 VG/PG
Mixed 5ml in a small glass beaker and stirred well for over a half hour off and on.
Vaped RDL at 13W, 15.5W and 18W in RDA.
Tastes (and smells) nothing like Amaretto - at all. Not even close, even though both the FA Almond and FA Marzipan each smell like Amaretto in the bottle (in fact I cannot distinguish a difference in smell between the two).
Of course I can't say for sure since I've never tried it, but I find it hard to believe that switching out the FA Vanilla Bourbon and FA Caramel cancels out the overall Amaretto flavor it's supposed to have, but I guess that is possible.
It's not a total failure though because what it tastes like is a Jamaican Rum liquid I used to vape (HeartlandVapes?) many years ago - I mean exactly like it - without the boozy flavor. It has a coconut note to it just like that eliquid did. I will eventually add some TFA Kentucky Bourbon to see what that's like. So this recipe might be a keeper, but not as an Amaretto.
I'm not sure what step to take next. Something tells me to increase (not sure to what %) both the Almond and Marzipan (because they smell like Amaretto) and cut the Simply Vanilla and Caramel to 0.5%. Just a wild guess, not based on any experience here as I have only mixed 1-flavor liquids up until now. I don't want to use the WF SC Amaretto just yet as I want to see if I can get an Amaretto flavor without it first. But I have a feeling I will be adding that at some point. I just don't see this panning out as an Amaretto, but who knows?
I may mix each of these flavors as a stand-alone to get some idea of what each may be contributing to this mix. Not sure.

After smelling my mix and the various flavors separately, it seems that the CAP Simply Vanilla and CAP Caramel (but mostly the Caramel) are overpowering the whole mix and are giving the tones that I find to be disgusting. I don't think they are unusable, but I think they need to be mixed at less percentage in relation to the 2 FA flavors in this particular mix, not as equal parts, if I am to achieve even a loose Amaretto flavor with these 4 particular flavorings.
