DIY recipe help please

[Crawl]

I have decided to try my hand at DIY ( Just placed my 1st order ), My wife is obsessed with a strawberry daiquri liquid she tried...I would like to try and make one but besides strawberry what flavors should/could I add?

 

[Hoosier]

Well, Rum would seem to be needed.

Perfumers Apprentice - Jamaican Rum Flavor
Rum by Flavor West - ecigExpress
Rum by Flavors Express 10ml - ecigExpress
DJ Rum Flavoring by Hangsen - ecigExpress
Organic Rum by Nature's Flavors - ecigExpress
Jamaican Rum Flavor By Signature - ecigExpress
(3ml) Flavour Art Flavors
VZ-SC Gourmet Rum Flavoring - E Cig eGo, E juice, Mods, Cartomizers, Liquid Nicotine, DIY Flavorings

Maybe a little chill
Perfumers Apprentice - Koolada 10% PG

Possibly some Sweetener
Perfumers Apprentice - Sweetener

On the outside some Raspberry or Watermelon might help.


But, Rum is probably a good thing. Nope, it's a good thing. Did I mention rum?

I cant believe i didnt think to look up a strawberry daiquri drink recipe..was only searching e liquid recipes
What i have found is basically strawberries, rum and lime juice or lemon-lime soda

Thanks Hoosier.. Now I have been reading alot and noticed you among many others are very knowledgeable... Any ideas on a starting point for %'s

I use to tend bar and from what I remember it would be Strawberries, Lime juice, and Rum with maybe some sweetener to taste. Good Luck

Cheers,
Steve

Nope, no idea on starting percentages. Each of the flavorings I linked are different strengths.

I like mine with no lime and extra rum...In fact leave out the strawberries and add more rum would be even better.

If it were me, I'd make a strawberry that tasted acceptable, then I'd work up a separate batch of rum until it tasted acceptable. Then I would start experimenting with mixing those batches together and adding dashes and tweaks of other stuff. If I managed to get something to work, I'd go back to my notes and reverse engineer all the different stuff in it to extract a recipe.

But it takes me a long period of time to get my recipes because I'm exceedingly picky. (And sometimes I give up and move on to the next idea because I get bored with what I was chasing.)

Sounds like a great idea..thankyou..

I am a bit of a perfectionist myself, unfortunately for me I dont think my wife would allow me to just move on...She's already bugging me for it and I dont even have my supplies yet

You'll be fine then. I find that when my son or sister really wants something I don't normally mix, I can get something they love much more easily than if I wanted that same flavor. (Except this certain coffee my sister had once in Hawaii that I never managed to get close to and she asked me to give up because I refused to do any taste testing due to my dislike of coffee and my experiments where pretty bad....I bet I could get closer now as that was early in my mixing saga.)

Speaking of koolada... What would you think is a good starting point for 10ml?
My hawaiian punch is too hot!

Nature's Flavors also has a strawberry daiquri flavor which isn't bad, but NF has a unique tinge to many flavors. Some like Nature's, some do not.

And yes... rum.

On the koolada, I myself keep it at less than .50%

Recommended usage is 1 drop per ml but I'm not a Menthol or Koolada person myself so I think that's high. I'd try 1 or 2 drops per 10 ml and taste.
Koolada 10% PG Flavor (TFA)

I'm a big fan of lime flavors. For cocktails I really like FlavourArt Lime TAHITI (not 'Lime Cold Pressed', which is a milder flavor and gets lost in rum). Their Jamaican Rum is lick-your-lips good, too. I'll leave the strawberry recommendation to those who like strawberry.
