Five Pawns Fifth Rank clone?

[Quanius]

Fifth rank is probably my #1 or 2 5P flavor. Anyone have a clue what's in this to get a thread started and begin to refine it?

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."

I found some horehound extract online from a google search although I must admit I don't know if it has the flavor or just the supposed health benefits.

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

I'm in to help tweaking but I need some advice and tips. I never create a juice and I have none of those ingredients. All I have is 1 liter of pg and a crock pot. Tell me where I can get everything and I will be happy to help you tweak/help.

How do you put the juice in the crock pot? I believe that there's some chance that bottle can melt at that temperature.

Juice in a glass bottle (cap tightly closed), water up to the juice level. Crockpot on 'low' setting with lid
slightly cracked should give you around a 150 degree temperature. 4 hours should do it! You take take it out every now and then and shake it, and take the cap off and on.

I did try this recipe, and while I would also have thought these ingredients were right it wasn't even close to me. But a good try! The horehound was overpowering, even after a good steep and a few weeks rest. I wish I could come up with some better suggestions, but I'm at a loss, because this juice is so complex!
