Fifth Rank DIY

[Quanius]

I'm re-posting this in the right category. Fifth rank is probably my #1 or 2 favorite 5Pawns flavor. As described, "A lively fusion that’s reminiscent of the lost vintage drink known as the “Lime Rickey,” but with a substituted sweet champagne. The effervescent note of horehound herb is counterbalanced by a sweet cream, vanilla bean, roasted almond, and a twist of lime."

Took a stab at this and came up with a quite delicious first attempt that I think bears a strong resemblance. I think this is a great summer flavor. I hit it with the crock pot at 120F for 4 hrs and steeped 4 days. Your tweaks are appreciated.

TFA HOREHOUND 4%
TFA CHAMPAGNE 3%
TFA VANILLA BEAN 2%
TFA TOASTED ALMOND 1%
TFA SWEET CREAM 1%
FW KEY LIME 2%
TFA EM 1%
PG/VG 50/50

I'm thinking of getting into DIY and came across your recipe. Fifth Rank is my definite ADV, but its price is hurting me. I would like to try your recipe as my first DIY liquid... have you, yourself, made any tweaks to it since this post?
