Wow I am stoked that I finally got my organization project kicked off. :toast:
Been planning this for months. Did about 25 or so today so far.


I am transferring all of my flavors to a standard 30ml square bottle and labeling them. They will fit in the drawer of my toolbox so as to be real accessible when mixing.
The bottom drawer can hold 120 of my flavors and then the top bin will be cleaned out to take the rest of the flavors. I plan to put the “used once in a blue moon” flavors in the top.


I have so totally enjoyed mixing for a while now but it has always been a living nightmare to get all of the flavors out of the tackle box I have for them to mix a new recipe. Trying to keep them in any sort of order was close to impossible.
It used to take me literally 20-30 minutes of total confusion to go through all of the flavors I needed for 2 or 3 new recipes and I just didn't feel like going through the hassle most of the time so I haven’t been trying any new mixes. It should be a walk in the park now.


I plan to just use plastic throw away pipettes since they are so cheap, less than 2 cents each. Just throw them away and have very minimal clean up.

Very impressive! Flavor labels on the top, nice. Do you have them A to Z? On another topic since you have an impressive array of flavors, have you ever tried TFA strawberry and coconut? Tried a recipe, called Flamingo, with them and it tasted awful. Basically just Peach, Strawberry and Coconut.

Great looking set up:). Where did you come up with the square bottles? :vapor:

I got them on Amazon. Got 280 of them for $42. The price has since gone up to $180! And they don't come with tops. Those were $30 for 144 of them.
Glad I'll never need to buy more since I have 280 of them.

Looks like a real good set up. I like the organization.
Just won't show my wife yours because more will be expected of mine ... lol

My wife insists on organization! Like a drill sergeant I remember.

Nice set up! I need to do something like that, a good project for after the Holidays>

A New Years resolution? Not one of those :)

That is the plan, A-Z.
TFA has a few different strawberry flavors I think. I've never tried Flamingo but if you want the best recipes, check into Bill's.

Love it. I've been organizing my flavors today, too. The square bottles and disposable pipettes are great ideas. I hate having to clean up, too. Very cool magnifying lamp, also.

Thanks.
The square bottles are supposed to take up 30% less space when placing the bottles next to each other. 30% is a pretty high number when you're trying to stuff as many as you can into a drawer. :)

Here's what I'm doing with mine. The glass bottles are mixed juices. These display shelves are helpful for dividing things into categories and being able to see things at a glance.

Very cool indeed. I looked into those display racks but I just don't have the surface area. Too many other mixing tools/gadgets taking up space if you know what I mean. :)

Really looking for good recipes! What/Who is Bill's?
